I don't think I ever posted about myself on here. I began my obsession with football about 4 years ago, when after visiting good friends of ours and watching a few EPL matches. I asked whats with soccer? My English friend just laughed and teased me, then explained all the rules. I was born and raised a huge sports fan, so it made sense to follow the most popular sport on Earth. The crowds, the pace, the tradition, the rivalries, and the fantastic athletes had me mesmerized and still do to this day. Within a year or so after watching tons of Arsenal matches (my good friend grew up in England and is a HUGE Gooner, being a Gooner, just felt right.

But alas, I needed even more footie, so I started watching Bundesliga, ARG football, Brasilian, Mexican, Dutch, SPL, and Ligue 1. The only 3 French clubs that Fox Soccer Channel televised on a regular basis were Lyon, OM, and PSG. LYON was winning title after title, so didn't feel right running right to them. OM were just ok. PSG just my emotions going with PdP and the great atmosphere. Also I have always wanted to visit Paris. Following PSG the last 2 seasons now, has been an emotional rollercoaster, very similiar to being a Chicago Sports fan. Now, I know its painful, but in the end I enjoy watching the various styles of football around the world. Following a club in many of them gives me more reason to care who wins or loses.

I will speak French otherwise I'll have a lot of difficulties...

Donc j'ai 15 ans je vis en Ile-de-France (cadre idéal pour un supporter parisien) juste à la périphérie de la région, en Seine-et-Marne (le grand département à l'est de Paris).

Je n'ai pas été bercé dès ma plus jeune enfance dans le football. J'ai toujours habité en Ile-de-France, d'abord au sud de la Seine-et-Marne, et maintenant dans mon habitat actuel. C'est ce déménagement qui a constitué un tournant de ma vie. C'est grâce à ce déménagement que j'en suis arrivé à connaître le football.

En effet, arrivé en plein mois de janvier, en CE1, dans une école où je ne connaissais personne, j'ai pu trouver un gars super sympa qui me trouvant m'ennuyant dans la cour me demanda si je connaissais le foot et si ça m'intéresserait d'apprendre. J'acquisçai et il entreprit de m'instruire ce magnifique sport.

Ceci se passa en 1998, ça créa un autre tournant, j'ai rencontré mon meilleur pote (fana de foot autant que moi), et surtout j'ai vu la France remporter la Coupe du Monde (stylé, j'étais en camping dans les Alpes en colo, on a regardé ça au bar, imaginez les gosses de 8 ans à côté des vieux bourrés du bar xD). Du coup je me suis intéressé de plus près au foot, et ainsi me suis découvert une passion pour ce sport. J'ai commencé à suivre les résultats en France, je me souviens même avoir supporté l'OM dans sa quête du titre de champion en 1999, car je n'aimais pas Bordeaux, et j'ai été super déçu qu'ils perdent la finale de l'UEFA. La rivalité OM - PSG à l'époque m'était inconnue.

Le club que je supporte depuis le plus de temps, étrangement, ce n'est pas le PSG, mais Arsenal. Dès qu'Henry y a été transféré je les ai suivi, et depuis je suis un vrai fan des gunners, suivant le plus de matchs anglais que possible (grâce au satellite sur TPS, où presque tous les matchs d'Arsenal sont retransmis depuis 2 saisons). Ensuite m'est venue la passion du PSG, renforcée depuis que je me suis inscrit à un certain forum (jeuxvideo.com), où les supporters sont très présents et donc où la rivalité OM - PSG également, ce qui force à prendre le parti de son équipe de façon très virulante ^^. Bref ça fait depuis la saison 1999-2000 que je suis vraiment pour le PSG, même si j'ai un moment (de 2000 à 2002) supporté l'OL en plus. Mais désormais c'est inconcevable pour moi de supporter deux clubs.

Je peux rajouter que je suis également bianconero depuis 3 ou 4 saisons, et supporter de Schalke 04 depuis le début de la saison 2004-2005 (c'est récent mais l'Allemagne ne m'attirait pas trop, alors qu'en fait c'est un championnat magnifique).

Je ne suis encore jamais allé au Parc des Princes malheureusement, je devrais le pouvoir lorsque je serais un peu plus vieux je pense. J'ai quand même un avantage, c'est que je suis arbitre officiel catégories jeunes (poussins et benjamins) donc grâce à ma licence j'ai le droit à l'entrée gratuite dans tous les stades de ma région, c'est-à-dire l'Ile-de-France. Je peux donc aller voir les Bleus au Stade de France (seul stade dans lequel je suis déjà allé, en 2003 pour voir France - Egypte, avec une victoire 5-0 des Bleus, dont un but de Cissé impressionnant, un déboulé dans l'axe légèrement décalé sur la droite, sérieux, quand il arrive en face, on a beau être dans les tribunes moyennes, ça impressionne ! :eek: Pour le Parc, si je peux m'abonner j'espère pouvoir le faire chez les Supras ou bien les Tigris, en tout cas tribune Auteuil c'est sûr.

Mes joueurs préférés sont Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pauleta, Henry, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Lincoln, Kuanyi, Sören Larsen, Cannavaro, Sagnol, Buffon, Armand, Yepes, Edou Cissé et Zidane.

Côté perso, je n'aime le Nutella que pour le goûter, j'adore le pain grillé avec du beurre, j'aime comme musiques la techno (Benassi, Fat Boy Slim, Oakenfold notamment), et le Rock (Muse, Placebo). Comme films : Le Flic de Beverly Hills, l'Arme Fatale, Star Wars, Bruce Tout-Puissant, Harry Potter, Sex Intentions, Austin Powers, et d'autres encore..., comme prénom pour une fille c'est Lucie (celle que j'aime ^^), comme jeux PES, MOH, Gran Turismo & GTA, comme bonbons Smarties et Skittles, comme livre Harry Potter, et les mangas GTO et Love Hina, comme région d'habitat, là où je vis c'est très bien, mais sur la côte ce serait pas mal non plus.
Je suis passionné par les avions mais j'ai peur de devoir monter dedans un jour, j'apprécie particulièrement de voyager en train, notamment en TGV, c'est sympa surtout entre potes.


I don't found much, but I think that's already a lot. I wish you'll understand easily. :)

[ilv2]

Bienvenue sur le forum, c toujours un plaisir de voir des français ici

[Psglove]

C'est autant un plaisir pour vous de voir des français ici que pour moi de voir des anglais sur les forums que je fréquente :D

Merci beaucoup en tout cas :)

I was in Paris last year for work, for the first time in my life(first time in Europe, in fact).I knew PSG as one of the teams that my favorite player, Okocha, was on and actually the only French club that I knew how their game shirts looked. Luckily in my office in Paris there was a true PSG-fan-for-life guy, so as we talked about soccer it was pretty natural for me to become a fan myself.
At the moment, I don't know much about the club or the players but since I'm back in Paris again for another long 3 months, I'm gonna put an end to that. I'll take my first step by going to the game vs Lyon this Sunday at the PdP(got my ticket!!).

thanx to ganu for the "history thread", though it might not be appropriate to say that here.

Allez Paris!!

I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU!!! where are you sitting in the stadium? oh man seriously, just can you scream randomly outloud during the game for me so i can feel special... or if boulogne and auteil exchange chants, just do a ALLEZ PARIS for me :) ... greatly appreciated lol

""We'll be on the 2nd floor, close to one of the corner flags", the guy that's taking me there(the one next to me at my office) told me. He's been a true PSG fan since he was a kid and he knows all the stuff that a PSG fan does at a game, so don't worry, I'll be yelling ALLEZ PARIS for sure.:D
The J-league that we have in Japan really sucks, so I'm looking forward to a display of some good football. I just hope it doesn't come from the CL quarter-finalists:o

i expect a full recap of the game (both from the game and from the stands perspective :) )... they are expecting 2,500 lyonnais at th game, so it should be "chaud"

a friend from japan was telling me that they are starting to follow ligue 1 in japan due to matsui... they have reporters living in le mans because of this guy... it's crazy lol... talk about a night life in that town...

oh man......homework? It's my first PSG game and I'm not even gonna try to keep my cool, so don't blame me if I leave the PdP with no memory. I'm not good at analyzing soccer skills and tacitcs, anyway.

As for the reporters and journalists, that's the way it goes for every Japanese athlete playing overseas(Ichiro, Matsui.....). Talking about soccer, with H.Nakata(the best MF in Jpn) and Takahara(HSV) sometimes not even making it to the eligible list, Inamoto in the 1st division, and the glass-footed Ono back in Japan, we have only Matsui and Nakamura(Celtic) to focus on as they're the only ones that hit the pitch on a regular basis. So yes, Japan's beginning to gain interest in Ligue1, but they're more interested in Serie A, Liga Espanyola and the Premier League, where all the superstars are. To them, Ligue1 is more like a stepping stone, just like how PSG was a good place for Ronaldinho to prove his talent to the clubs with skyscraping budgets.

I could go on and on about how so many Japanese people are soccer-know-it-alls but I'm not going to cuz it's gonna be a whole paragraph of dissing them(I'm not being prejudice or anything, I'm Japanese too. I just hate it when they talk about something they don't know at all).

Anyway, I can't wait till it's SUNDAY!!!!

I became interested in PSG after learning that my great grandparents and Pauleta's (actually named Pedro Miguel Resendez) great-great grandparents are the same. Distant cousin? Yes, but related just the same.

I started supporting PSG in 2004 after going to a fantastic game at the PdP where PSG beat Marseille 2-1. Since then I have taken every opportunity to get to Paris to see them play. Like every PSG fan I have seen highs and lows. The most notable low being paying 150 euros to see them fail to beat the Marseille reserves in March this year at the PdP. The Best high coming in late april this year when I was lucky enough to be at the Stade De France when we beat Marseille 2-1 to win the Coupe De France, albeit sitting in amongst about 1,000 Marseille fans wearing my PSG shirt and scarf :D !!!!

WOW! You have some serious guts.

I fell in love with PSG on a drunken weekend with a mate to the fair city. We just thought we'd have a look round the stadium, realised there was a game on that evening, brought a ticket without speaking a word of French and ended up in the game that evening. It was vs. Lens and Lens won 1-0 with a late penalty (I think this was in 98/99- can anybody help me with who was playing for PSG that day? Must be a website somewhere full of stats and line ups). Other than that my over-riding memory was the constant noise and colour and superb atmosphere. So different form English football. Planning to go back for the forthcoming season to pay homage again.

Are there any UK based supporters clubs that organise trips over the channel?

ha ha found it...great site

I'm on here a lot preseason and not much during the season, but here goes. I started liking PSG in '94 after a high school trip to Paris. Well, its more that I loved Paris and loved football and so PSG was an obvious choice. Having been back there, and to other cities in France, I definitely don't regret my decision to support PSG. I've been to a few games at the Parc and love it. I have very fond memories of my first game there (though it was only a tie) as it was my first ever real European soccer experience. Plus, I can tell people that I saw Ronaldinho before he was RONALDINHO. I have FSC at home, though they only carry 1 game a week and, maybe once or twice a month, its a PSG game. Otherwise, I'm forced to follow the team through the web and the French highight show that FSC does. Therefore, I can't keep up with those of you who can see them play each week so I tend not to post very much when the season gets going.

I have always felt that PSG should do everything within its powers to actively seek out a talented Japanese player and bring him to Paris. With the huge number of Japanese tourists to Paris it would be such a moneymaker, I can see the euros just flying into the cash register at the Champs Elysees PSG store.

You would think that PSG would have thought of this by now, but no. The people who run PSG obviously don't know cr*p about marketing or football.
