NSR-Getting to know each other

[gaijin]

I'm Nick. I live in Columbus, Ohio. I'm 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. I was given the opportunity to go to Europe a few years back as a student ambassador. I fell in love with Paris when I visited. My only problem is that I'm learning Spanish and German...not French to go along with my passion for France. I usually put my support behind clubs from cities that I like. Paris is such a beautiful city and so I have to support the captial club. It's wierd here in the states, but in my car I have a PSG pennant hanging up.
I help run a supporters club for the Columbus Crew here in the states. We're called Legion 04. I also stand with Sam's Army for the US national team behind the goal. I drummed at the last game in Columbus. Other teams that I support. The three HUGE ones for me are Columbus, PSG, and Arsenal...(The first team named is the one I support most, the others are some that I like)

United States: Columbus Crew
United Kingdom: Arsenal/Liverpool
France: Paris Saint-Germain
Germany: Hertha Berlin
Spain: Real Madrid/Barcelona

I'm happy to meet all of you!

Allez Paris!!!


I like Hertha too. Lived there when I was kid. Great place. Love to go there for the WC.

i guess i've been posting here a lot more frequently now with the new season so i'll follow the standard procedure for this thread.

originally, i was only interested in the national team, but started following the french league to look at the potential stars of the future. As for PSG, i like them the best because i have a couple friends who live there who aren't the best supporters, but supporters nonetheless, so i just followed their stead. Above all, however, I love the city, having gone there several times, and hope to study there next semester and catch a match or two.

Another factor too was the takeover of manutd by that ********ing leprechaun malcolm glazer. Got sick of all the money talk, and while ligue 1 certainely isn't devoid of its own share of politics, its nice to hear about and focus on the football rather than shady behind the scenes dealings.

yea anyways, thats it. cheers :)

Well, I'm a Chinese student in Canada and I'm 20. I started to suppot France since 1998 summer, because i like France a lot, not only soccer. I was spoiled that France finally won the World Cup and then European Cup. Those days were sweet. I support all French clubs to win more glory in Europe. I am not a PSG fan yet, but I know this team had a amazing history that it won a lot prize in a short period. Luckily I can watch French league now and I just bought a uniform of PSG. Hopefully I will be one of you. Good luck to PSG and you guys.

Started watching football (les bleus) while in France, loved it, and then needed a yearly fix via club football and found Arsenal, mostly because they had four French national team players at the time, and they were the only players I knew by name. Anyway, PSG was my first live club match, and though I prefer Arsenal, you can never really forget your first time.

Hey...

I started going to see football in Cannes over the holidays in the early 80's. When Cannes moved to the top flight, it was with Fernandez as a player, and back then Cannes and PSG had a special connection, with many players going from one team to the other. SO I kind of liked psg from the start.

I moved to St Germain en Laye in 86, from the US, and that summer I got to go to a CHampion's cup game in Paris on my own. Well, the paris team didn't qualify but Safet Susic stole my heart, and I've been obsessed with that team ever since.

All time favorite PSG player: Weah. Damn, I still miss him. I also have a fondness for Laurent Leroy, Susic, Valdo, Okocha, Ronaldinho of course, and from the team of today, Bernard Mendy.

A warm welcome for all the newcomers ! :) :cool:

Bienvenue à tous....

Allez Paris!

[JFPIV]

It started rather foolishly, really.

I was in Paris on vacation in 2000, and stepped into a shop in the Latin Quarter that sold football jerseys I knew very little of European Club ball, and picked up the PSG jersey on a lark.

I didn't really have the opportunity to follow European football on a regular basis until last fall when I got Fox Soccer Channel through my digital cable package, and ice hockey took its hiatus, so I started watching French Club soccer on a regular basis, and PSG became my squad.

Since I am new, I figured we could have a threat where everyone could talk a little about themselves so that we all know each other. More importantly, explain why you may (or may not) like PSG... I guess I'll start...

I'm 20 years old. I'm half french/American and go to school at NYU. I'm a HUGEEEEEEEEE PSG fan and I was in France for the past 8 months studying but I had season tickets for the second part of the season (not a great season as you all know, with the fans on strike). I was sitting in the Paris tribune but before in mid-August, I went to the first game of the season against Metz and decided that I would go with my cousin to try Autheuil and guys, let me tell you, I'm a Supras now and I don't plan to go back to the Paris tribune. One of the best soccer games (4-1) and an amazing crowd! In any case, some may know Nevada Smiths in NYC (a well known pub that shows any soccer game you want) and so I'll be there a lot for all the Ligue1 games and CL games... so there you go, that's my story... allez PSG!!!

[gaijin]

Welcome aboard. :)

Pour moi, PSG est,

Ma Passion, Ma Souffrance, Ma Gnôle

Donc, c'est mon PSG. :cool:

[gaijin]

Okay?

Allez Paris!!! :D

EDIT: merged...
