Just curious. You know a little country or league loyalty. Or do most Bundesliga fans cheer for other clubs in other leagues and would never dream of backing other German clubs besides their own for the Champion's League title???
Many root for all German clubs, but I also know many who are against Bayern in every game. Personally I got to admit that considering Bayern + Dortmund meanwhile owning 31% of the total Bundesliga budget, I am happy about everything that might decline their power.
lovely Didn't know that those 2 clubs wielded such power over the Bundesliga! But aren't they also the biggest clubs?
many teams will get outside support, but probably not bayern and not from a fierce rival (schalke fan would pull against dortmund) - but most people here in the north like that stuttgart are doing well
Yes, everybody is wishing Stuttgart a good Champions League season. Haven't found anyone rooting against them yet (well, maybe Karlsruhe or Freiburg fans...)
How about the 1996 Final? How much support Dortmund get in Munich? Or did the Dortmund fans buy all the tickets from Bayern Munich fans?
I remember watching that match and the television commentators saying that the Munich supporters were rooting for Juventus. I believe that final was in 1997, but I could be wrong.
Massive arshole Uli Hoeness, the FC Arschloch Munich manager was even chearing when Juve made the 1:2 by Del Piero. They were soooooooooooooo jealous in Munich. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Feel the love! Now that's what I call pure hatred....lol. Love the passion of the German footie fans. Still searching for that elusive German club that I will follow. Just have to keep watching the Bundesliga highlight show and some matches here and there.
I will cheer for any German team, but never for Bayern and Dortmund, I love to see them lose. I begin only to switch to their games on TV when they're on the lose.
This year I will only cheer for Stuttgart in CL. Not for Bayern and not for Schalke or Dortmund in Uefa cup. Although I don´t mind if one of the last two teams would proceed.
First sentence is totally true. I would be also happy with everything that helps in a decline of Bayern and Dortmund on the NATIONAL level... however, since an early "out" in the European Cups usually only helps them in the league (for they can now concentrate on that, best example was last year, where Bayern won the BL title easily after going out of the CL in the group stages), success on the European level is more helpful for the chances of other teams in the league. On the other hand, European success brings them more money which is never good... *sigh* But considering what minnows and dwarves even Dortmund and Bayern are in comparison to the financial possibilities of Italian, Spanish and English clubs, I can't bring myself to wish that they would still be weaker... So I root for all German clubs, even the ones I don't like that much. Maybe I am just too much of a national chauvinist, as is also evidenced by my rooting for any German national team... ^^
