Re: Let's get to know eachother

I suppose I'll go first.

Real name: Ron
Born: 1966 - lifelong Northern California resident.
Height: 5' 6"
Favorite word: "irregardless"
Barcelona fan since: 1979 (Koln fan since 1978)
Ever been to the Camp Nou?: no......
All-time favorite player: Wolfgang Overath.
From Barcelona; Alexanco, Guardiola, Rivaldo.
From the current squad: Messi.
Favorite Barça moment: Koeman, Wembley, 1992.
End of '92 and '93 seasons when Barca leapfrogged Real Madrid on the last day of play to win the Liga! (Real lost away to Tenerife on both occasions! LOL!)
Also, end of '94 season when Bebeto missed a last minute penalty to allow Barca a fourth straight Liga title.
Worst Barça moment: 1986 -v- Steaua. Nothing else comes close. Not Milan 1994... not Chelsea 2006... not even 5-0 to Real Madrid.

Sorry, no photo.

Anything else?

 

Re: Let's get to know eachother

Thanks, Astabooty! I'll hold back on the photo for now, but suffice it to say, I often wear green shiny pleather pants, always skin-tight, in homage to my hero FIGO.

Name: A lot of my friends call me XB -- those are my initials. $5,000 prize for anyone who guesses my actual name.

Other important facts:
-- I am, in fact, a girl. I KNOW, RIGHT. WHAT.
-- I'm a senior at Johns Hopkins Univ. in Baltimore, but I'm not a native Baltimorean. However, I did watch like all of Homicide: Life on the Streets on DVD, so I pretty much qualify.
-- I love holding hands with kittens, watching the sun rise.
-- Total nerd. Studying English and anthropology, headed tentatively toward more academia. BS is a glorious distraction!
-- Basically I'm kind of sarcastic.
-- I'm a ninja. By which I mean, I'm Asian. Where my peepz from da East at?

Got into Barca a year or two ago, roped in by enthused family member. I must admit I was drawn in by the brilliance of Ronaldinho, but don't worry -- no fangirling here. If I hadn't swiftly fallen in love with the whole team*, I wouldn't be hanging around.

Age: 20-ish.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing everyone else's life stories!

*Except for Ezquerro. He gets little-to-no-love from me.

Re: Let's get to know eachother

26 pages!
Is that one being bumped backed up? It makes for great reading, seeing some names who I hoestly don't recognized. I'm not even sure if I posted on that thread. But I wouldn't mind bumping it up.

 

Re: Let's get to know eachother

Nick be my first name. Hard to believe I was on the first page in that thread.

Well I'm three years older, no spouse or kids. Still haven't been back to Barcelona. I was gonna go in 2004, but I went to Brazil instead.

I work as an editor at rottentomatoes.com, which allows me to work from home some days (i.e. CL matchdays ).

And the pictures that I'm too lazy to post can also be found on my myspace.

I love football and i am a midfielder, and for a note, i think Midfielders are the best player in football, . i have nver been to Camp Nou, My all time best player is Maradona, my all time best player in Barca is Kluivert and Rivaldo, my current best player in Barca is Messi(of course). I have been Barca fan since, well i don't remember the date but maybe it was 99/00. At that periode Barca were playing friendly match against Brazil which ended 2-2.

Yessir. I'm prolly gonna stick around my stomping grounds. Myabe UCF or SCC (UCF's feeder school). But since I'm a minority I might get a scholarhsip to go somewhere. If I do I might do idk. Or I'll continue my rap career. After all I am Rakim Allah!

Re: Let's get to know eachother

Ok, let's see:

Age: older than dirt.
For some reason we're doing height, so 5'2" (158cm).
I'm a woman. Long-term boy. No marriage or kids in this lifetime.

Been playing soccer since I was a midget. Still soccer-obsessed, play 1-3x a week coed pick-up & intramural games. Play right wingback. Maldini was my inspiration.

First and truest footie team love: St. Pauli 1986 when I lived near there. Nothing beats the Millerntor for atmosphere. Still. They're now in the 3rd div.

Barca my love since late 80's, visited there, got dragged into it all by friends. Followed them as much as possible via whatever means. I <3 the interweb. Saw them in Houston this summer...hopefully next year will see some matches there.

I'm of mixed ancestry and Italia has been my national squad also since I was a midget. I was in Naples (where my mom's family is from) last summer for the final.

Players: Cruyff among many.
Current: Ronnie, Messi

Worst moment: Milan 1994
Best: Paris 2006

Here's a pic of me playing last summer at the Mondiali Antirazzisti in Italy. We brought a team from Texas to play coed and I got drafted by some germans to play in the women's. I'm the one with the red & black sox.



if ya want, there's at least one other foto for a limited time if you know where to look. you'll realize it wasn't that interesting

Hey Natty! My bro lives DC/Balto area & has been DC United since they started. It's the one MLS team I follow...I visit him & see matches sometimes. Maybe I'll see ya there -- I know I'll be with him for the MLS final in Nov.
