[Football] Bundesliga - pick your team !

[ManOfSussex]

Achtung! Das ist Bayer Leverkusen fur mich. Sie werden spielen Werder Bremen beim 1915 Montag Nacht. Bayer Leverkusen ist gut, ja, wunderbar.

Paderborn all the way surely?

Surely??

 

[Taybha]

Team Mainz for me , according to Football Index they're as insignificant as us .

 

[southdownswolf]

Wolfsburg...obviously!

 

[Icy Gull]

Wolfsburg...obviously!

Same here, but only because I had a chat with their manager at a hotel in Puerto Banus. The team were staying at the same hotel as us on a winter break a couple of years ago. Their manager was a good friend of the then Huddersfield manager whose name escapes me now. We were talking mostly Championship football as we were neck and neck with Huddersfield at the top of the League.

Bizarrely there were a few German journalists with the team and they all had Liverpool sweat shirts and T shirts

Is winning more important to you than taking part? NO
Are you just glad to be at the party? YES
In fact, is the party more important than taking part? HELAU!!
Do you prefer beer or wine? BIER

This took me to Fortuna Dusseldorf.


* - on a day when I'm fancying wine I'd end up at 1. FSV Mainz 05

Same for me.

Wont be cheering for a team managed by Uwe Rösler though. Complete scumbag of a human, which is why he got fired from Malmö FF. He benched one of their best players for 12 games because he failed to mark his opponent on a corner, and locked a young defender inside a toilet when he had a bad game.

Most of the teams I like in Germany are stuck in the second division so I guess I will just watch it neutrally. Maybe Werder Bremen, they played quite nice football... 15 years ago.

Surely??

Uwe is a Seagull...

 

[BN9 BHA]

Uwe is a Seagull...

I see, thanks.

Uwe's Paderborn for me. Suttner playing against him for Dusseldorf.

I love the Bundesliga, always watch a lot of it. Excelent standard of football, exciting games and usually wonderful crowds. Hopefully this will convert a lot of other fans.

Leverkusen currently my favourite side entirely down to Kai Havertz.

Not been quite as good this season as last but he was really starting to turn it on again just before the lockdown. One of the most exciting young players in world football - wonderful to watch.

(Obviously the Albion love in helps too!)

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Love Union Berlin's story, had a soft spot well before this all kicked off, and before they reached the top division, through my love of Berlin and its history. So Union for me!

Absolutely this, despite pressure from Pogue Junior who says that "supporting Leverkusen is basically supporting the Albion."

Great video about their story here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50267677

 

[BN41Albion]

As for leverkusen, meh

I spent the summer of 1980 working in Dusseldorf. Watched Fortuna Dusseldorf play Borussia Monchengladbach. Have always looked out for Fortuna's results since (0-0 today).

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Nurnburg

nothing to do with the bloke who tried to destory the world

[Shooting Star]

I watched Leipzig v Freiburg. It's not the same, felt a bit like a friendly. However, I did enjoy it. I'd forgotten how much I loathe VAR!

[theboybilly]

Hertha Berlin for me, at least until Carl Zeiss Jena pull their finger out. I always have had a soft spot though for Gerd Muller and the boys stopping Leeds from being the COE bit of WACCOE

I loved that program. No we were basically doing student type of work at the airport and up at the Dutch border. Happy memories, I must pop back for a visit one day, We used to have some great nights in the old town (Altstat).
