Ever wondered how to explain the offside rule in German?The British Embassy in Berlin has set up a website to explain this and more to the estimated 100,000 England fans going to next year's World Cup finals.
The site has translations of necessary football phrases such as "sick as a parrot" and "nutmeg" alongside more typical travel tips and city guides.
Embassy spokesman Jonathan Brenton said he hoped to entertain the fans as well as getting serious information across.
The English fans are expected to be the second largest group attending the tournament - second only to the Germans themselves. Here are a couple to get you started.
Abseitsstellung - Offside
Uebergluecklich - Over the moon
Er verpasste seinem Gegner einen Beinschuss - He nutmegged his opponent
Ihm war kotzuebel - Sick as a parrot
