    By markpel  |  Posted July 27, 2012  |  Berlin, Germany
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     markpel says the Bethlehem female soccer players were playing in Berlin, Germany, to collect more international experience as well as meet professional German female soccer players. He says the team is not at the professional level yet, but they were very enthusiastic to be in Germany. 'They said that tolerance is very important for them, and that religion is not important inside their team. One half of the team is Christians and the other half are Muslims,' he says.
