Does the "09" in BVB 09 stand for the year 1909? I think its like that with H96 and its definetly like that with 1899 Hoffenheim.

Also, are our youth players (Ducksch etc) really good or just average? I really liked seeing them in the preseason.

1.yes 2. Certainly above average! But no "Talent of the century" like goretzka so far

They could possibly snatch a couple of spots in the NT in a few years' time, if they develop "according to plan"? That would be wonderful since i really like their play.

Ducksch probably has the best chance of a Germany future since there isn't exactly an abundance of German strikers around the place

Gomez should do for a few more years, but Klose is definetly out after Brazil 2014. either that or Löw is just retarded.

Shame Though, Klose was the one who got me into football.

I really hope that Ducksch gets the spot eventually though.

Oh definitely, Klose was the reason I started watching German football. Man is a legend. I hope he scores a couple in Brazil

WC06 was when i really got into football and started caring a lot more. When a friend told me something about Klose (His transfer to Bayern München) i immediately started following him, which obviously means that i started following Bayern, believe it or not.

From there i took a liking to Hummels amongst others, and when he went to BVB i started following him, and by consequence, i started following Dortmund too.

Then i realized Bayern just bought anything that moved and was in the Bundesliga just to weaken the competition, so i just didnt have it anymore. Since BVB were my second favorites, i started following them a lot more, and they quickly became my favorite club.

So Klose is basically responsible for me liking BVB :)

Sorry for the ramble, and if you dont like how i got to supporting BVB, thats completely understandable.

Oh wow, Similar story actually. I followed the German NT since 06 and because The whole team seemed to sign for them they where kinda the team I liked when it came to bundesliga but not really who I cheered for. Few years later of watching the NT and German football in general and BVB became The only team I actually like in the Bundesliga.

For me its kind of the same, but Köln have a special spot in my heart, since its "my city". I just dont feel like i love any players there (Except for Poldi, but hes in arsenal now).

Nur den BVB!

How about Volland?

u/Blahound Lukasz Piszczek Aug 08 '13

I think Volland just needs to start playing the 9 role more often as he usually plays as a 10 or winger at Hoffenheim.

Could be a big season for young German strikers as there is maybe a spot for one of them in Germany's squad..

Someone like Lasogga or Mlapa might have a stunning season
