FC Bayern Forum

My mom grew up outside of Munich in a town called Deggendorf, it's on the Danube, so I went to go visit in 2010 when I was 13. Upon the visit I went to munich with my uncle and toured the city, and eventually the Allianz arena, he bought a Müller jersey after his breakout season for me. Before this, I knew a out about bayern and started to follow them before I went for a couple months...not really knowing anything about the teams.

This is almost a carbon copy of my story. I remember being an 11 year old begging my parents for a Lahm jersey after the '06 WC.
Lol and thank god I didn't follow through with copying Schweinsteiger's bleached hair

Müller, Schweini, Lahm, and Klose led me to follow Bayern after 2010.

Living in the U.S. where soccer / football isn't very popular, I was never really interested in the sport until the world cup last summer, where I started paying attention and I got very addicted. I decided to support the German national team (I live and was born in the U.S., and I'm German and Italian) because I liked it. I remember the first soccer / football match I ever really played close attention to where I was supporting one of the sides was the Germany vs Algeria match in the round of 16. Neuer was absolutely amazing that match. Anyways so many players from the national team play for us or played for us at the time, so it was an easy choice.

Edit: Oh and I went to Munich for the first time over my spring break, it was awesome.

im from munich, so its not the question why im bayern fan, but how i became a die hard fan. the first match i recall was the european champions final against porto (age 8 ), i was so sad, because we where the better team and i thought it was not fair that we lost. then came the semifinal losses against milan and red star belgrade...then i became a teen (age 13) and my thoughts went more about girls and "coolness". in the season 91/92 bayern was really bad and for a short time there was a slight danger of being relegated....on a table in school someone wrote "bayern-->2nd league", that made me angry and the fire was burning hotter than ever. i began to go to the stadium (not very often...because of the money) and the biggest game was the uefa cup final first leg against bordeaux (my father organised 2 tickets from a friend...best thing he ever did for me). then i got a job and was able to afford tickets more often...normaly südkurve was sold out, so i bought the cheapest available and sneaked in to support the team. then came 99, we where at the public viewing at olympic stadium...after the game i stayed at olympic park, i drank and sobbed and drank and sobbed. the year after it where the semifinals... 4 matches against madrid, 3 wins... but eliminated...i thought it wasnt meant to be for us to win the cl. a few weeks later i became my first (of several) bayern tattoo. maybe it was my lucky charm, because we know what happened next season...the last matchday in hamburg and the penalties against valencia, we where in olympic stadium again...and the moment oli parried the final penalty was the most emotional moment of my life...i screamed and cried of joy...it was an explosion of feelings and the night at leopoldstraße was complete happiness. the years since then where similar (2012 and 2013), but one thing is certain, you cant value the great victories the same way if you havent suffered the great losses.
so thats my story and i experienced, that my love for the club growed with the sad moments, not with the successful ones.
thanks for reading...

Wow ... Really enjoyed reading it.
You exp first hand living there... I remember all but bar the porto match (i was 4yo) & the Rel threat...tbh was not aware of it...
I have a question for you. I have the impression that most Muncheners support the donkeys in blue; am I right?

I'd be interested in seeing your tattoos... I've been thinking of getting a Bayern tattoo myself... to accompany my other ones

get one on your forehead!

It was back in season 1994-1995... I came to france 5 years earlier, was around 13-14 years old when PSG played home and away games against bayern, it was the gold shirt with green and black stripes



I was supporting the German national team since 1990 and the world cup (middle of the world cup eh? not a bandwagoner! :p)... And it seemed natural for me to support Bayern and Matthäus, and i discovered a crazy keeper called Kahn

In both home and away games, PSG won 1-0, with a great George Weah goal every time, especially the one at Olympiastadion:



Hitting the top corner after taking away 4 players individually... Awesome goal, one of the nicest we've conceded... But still i was loving FCB since that period...

I became a germany NT fan during a match in 2002 WC,when I was 9,Germany scored 8 past saudi arabia..I was really amazed as it was the biggest scoreline I had heard of..then don't know why..70% people here are brazil supporters 20% argentina..especially then..ya,coming back..don't know why but I cried like anything when they lost against Brazil 2-0..my father was a brazil supporter..he hoped me to become one too but he was shocked..From then I supported Germany NT BUT....only in world cups.. In 2008 Oliver Kahn was coming to India to play his farewell game..but not with the german nt..I was surprised..I asked my teacher..which other team does he play for?he replied..bayern munich..luckily he had some knowledge of football..still my ignorance continued..world cup 2010 came..muller was the star..klose too..then when fifa 11 came out i was bored of cricket and wanted to try something new..so I bought it..there i tried to play with the german nt but failed to find it..I was hoping to find german nt in the germany banner while it was in the international banner..but while i was browsing through the bundesliga teams under germany banner guess which name I encountered?..yes..when I went ahead and checked their roster I found lahm,klose,muller all were there..there were also 2 guys rated 88 ..guesss who? yes robbery..but still they had many average players like pranjic,ottl,contento so when I started a career mode I started with chelsea coz ballack used to play for them and they had a good squad .but guess what happened..I got fired after half season..then I started a career with bayern..won the bundesliga..and the rest they say is history..

:-) I preferred your sweet post rather this shitty game we are playing.
How come in india the majority support Brazil and not England? Ok I know Indians are intelligent ppl and know what to chose but still it surprises me.
My cousin's husband is indian he supports bayern and Germany since 1966... He told me All his family is pro England... But seeing that daylight robbery he just could not support that tm.

Contrary to that..we don't have much affection for england..quite the opposite..you know..they ruled us for 190 years and killed many of our revolutionaries..so..you get it right?(btw..co incidentially..today is our Independence day!)
yes few people do support england..namely the hypocrites from yesteryears who still praise their rule..nowadays..we are neutral towards english nt ..yes there are a few people who excite everyone who pop up now and then ..example harry kane currently..but mainly brazil,argentina,italy and nowadays ..quite a few young germany fans..since they won the world cup now..Lahm,muller,klose and ballack..90% of non germans are german nt fans because of one of them..

why brazil?
Indians generally prefer dribblers and goalmachines..now you know why?

While writing kind of I was saying a gaffe... But tbh was not sure...
Here they ruled for 164+15 years.
'64 independence '74 Republic '79 finally they left...freedom day (all holidays for us:lol) yes even here we have some british ass kissers mainly oldies.
Happy Independence day.
Ours is on Sept 21st.
P.S they killed 6 men(poor souls) on 7.7.1919
Another feast...
