The reason you watch football?

I didn't know RWO was older than us.

You must have watched 70s football then ?

First match I watched with my li'l bro' was the 1974 final (on the first colour TV that my parents just bought before the world cup then).

You must be one of the older fans here then.Thats great to hear RWO.

Well, as I started by watching World Cups when I was still a wee li'l lass, my love for the German NT never wavered. I guess that's why I would always put NT matches before any club matches.

Can I get that status? Please make sure its not a 'real ban' lol..

I am so sorry bro but I am afraid that the only way to get it is the 2nd option that we both don't want

sorry again

My first contact with the sport in general was the ball itself. When I first had one I had no idea that there were professional athletes doing amazing things with the ball.

So in short I watch football because of the ball itself which I loved (and still do).

i don't have a social life so i need something to keep me busy on saturday evenings

Playing football in Kindergarten + patriotism led to me listening to the 1996 EC on the radio, does radio count?

After the EC my socialist (which explains the match :p) Godfather took me to my first football match at the Olympic stadion like two and a half months into the season, 1860 vs St. Pauli with 1860 turning it up at the end of the game and winning by a large margin.

I can say I saw Abedi Pele live


My first Bayern match was in november of the same season - it was the Munich derby and influence of schoolfriends, my godfather etc. had turned me into a fan of both clubs.

Bayern scoring early, 1860 equalizing then Jeremies seeing yellow-red and 1860 to holding on to the points for a full 3rd of the match was beyond epic for me, I went to the 3-3 draw later on in the season and I ended up being a fan of and sympathizing with both.

First football match I watched on TV was Germany destroying the US in 98WC at a friend of my moms house, I "watched" the rest of the matches on the radio (croatia )

My godfather would take me to matches frequently to watch (Bayern and 60 matches) and that's how I ended up where I am now football-following wise.

When I moved to Philippines where the EPL was on all the time on TV my support went to Liverpool because of:



and that they're ManUre's bitter rivals. (1999 - The only time I have felt more crushed was 2006 and you guys can probably guess why xD )

Football? Well, everyone watches it here lol. Youre born into the culture. Then I rebelled and sided with Real Madrid.
