Should we Adopt a German Team?

[Pretty Boy]

With the Bundesliga all set to resume and coverage of it available should we adopt a German Team? Match day thread and the like?

Vote for your choice below. I've gone for Werder Bremem for obvious reasons.

[HoboHarry]

Been looking for the Dortmund score for years so easy for me......

[Coco Bryce]

Werder Bremen for me also :agree:

[Greencore]

Kaiserslautern.

[bingo70]

Düsseldorf for me.

Great set up there and the Matty Jack link means it’s the ideal club for us to adopt.

When we were across there last February we watched The Dundee game in his bar and there were a few hibbies in there, think to call it a supporters club would be pushing it but there were a few.

[Mon Dieu4]

SC Paderborn purely because I know absolutely nothing about them

[Doh Rae Me]

Werder Bremen for me also, purely due to a musical bottle opener, I was given that plays a nippy chant every time you crack open a new bottle.

[Diclonius]

Werder Bremen. Rivals of Hamburg, who have a love-in with Rangers, and St Pauli, who have a love-in with Celtic. Perfect. :agree:

Frankfurt definitely as a bunch of them are already Hibs sympathisers I think through friendships on Hibs Bounce and often visit Easter Road.

Pure mental guys in a nice way.

Relegation in the Bundesliga if its cancelled.

For a whole number of reasons I shouldn't type this but it's Dresden for me. I saw them play Bremen II about 10 years ago in 2nd or 3rd division and their fans were brilliant, mental and slightly scary all at the same time. Crap colours, lots of baggage but...

[Chorley Hibee]

They’re the VW Factory team. Good luck to them but they don’t need our support.

I’ve got a soft spot for Dortmund because Klopp’s team was great, but happy to cheer on the green team.

I've always looked out for the St Pauli results - unfortunately there's already a link with them and Celtic.

[Haymaker]

Bayern?

[hibee_nation]

Rot Weiss Essen for a wee team

[hibby rae]

I've liked Mönchengladbach for a while now. Went to see them play a few years back against Dortmund, if they lost they were pretty much relegated and if Dortmund won, they won the league. Gladbach won one nil and ended up staying up via the play-offs, since that season they've turned a corner and have more or less finished in the European slots since.

The atmosphere was tremendous and the supporters around us were great guys, they ended up taking us to the supporters club after the game and we drank with them till we had to run for a cab to catch the last train to Düsseldorf, one of them even gave me his scarf.

They also enjoyed us introducing them to some Scottish songs during the game, so they were all singing 'In your Dortmund Slums' and 'If I Had the Wings of an Eagle' :greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

Düsseldorf for me.

Werder Bremen for me too. Their colours are more consistently Hibs-y than Wolfsburg and reading that post about them playing the Proclaimers after a goal has sealed it.

Mon die grün-weißen!

[Dmas]

Eintracht Frankfurt for me got hooked on Bundesliga about 5 years ago now, absolutely love it, was in Munich same time they where playing Frankfurt didn’t manage to persuade the Mrs to goto the game but had a few beers with Frankfurt fans they where great guys so much so I adopted them even after a mightily impressive tour of the Allianz the next day.

Some really good teams to follow, can’t wait for Saturdays goal show and then dinner time kick off for Frankfurt...fans be a big miss though!

St Pauli are by no means a "Big Club" per say, but do have a huge fanbase with fanclubs worldwide. The left wing politics are the reason behind the huge fanbase rather than the football as i have been to enough games now to know that avoiding relegation to the 3. Bundesliga is regarded as a good season due to the club having very little funds to spend on players.

On your Scandi Team that would be Hammarby in Sweden & Sparta Rotterdam in Holland

Hertha are from West Berlin, Union Berlin are from East Berlin.

Before Leipzig's rise and Union Berlin's recent promotion, for quite a while the only East German team in the Bundesliga was Energie Cottbus. They were relegated some years ago and I think they might now have fallen into the regional leagues.

For Belgium I have a fondness for Leuven because I studied there (and was back at the stadium for the Hibs pre-season tour years ago - great night!).
But my team in Belgium is KV Mechelen who I went to see play when I lived there (just a random chose a team to follow while living there for a year decision) and bizarrely they went and won the European Cup Winners Cup that season. I couldn’t get to the final but was at the stadium when they brought the cup home. That really was a crazy night!!
Sometimes football is magical.

Sadly, yes. RB Leipzig are only reasonably successful because of all the money being pumped into them and are basically just a corporate brand.

I actually had high hopes for a team called Sachsen Leipzig a few years back. They were kind of an offshoot from Chemie Lepzeig, played in green and white and were based at the Zentralstadion (where RB Leipzig now play).

Sadly they went to the wall and there's now a couple of small offshoot clubs playing in front of even smaller crowds.


THIS (https://www.thefalse9.com/2020/04/leipzig-east-germany-football-history.html) article is quite a good potted history of the East German clubs, Leipzig in particular.

[scm70nyd1973]

It's always been Werder Bremen for fairly obvious reasons but having had a quick swatch at their Wiki page I have some concerns about a slight parallel with our poppy thieving chums 🤔- extract as follows :

In 1986, Werder hosted Bayern Munich (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Bayern_Munich) in the penultimate match of the season; Bremen needed a win to secure their second Bundesliga title. In the 88th minute, with the score of 0–0, they were awarded a penalty kick (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_kick_(association_football)), which Michael Kutzop (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Kutzop) took. He missed, as he hit the right goalpost; the game ended 0–0. Bayern won their last match, but Werder lost 1–2 to VfB Stuttgart (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VfB_Stuttgart), and Bayern took the title.

I haven’t really watched German football before. From the games I watched at the weekend there seems to be a very high incidence of headed goals.

Is this usual for that league?


Apparently, it's the first time that Leverkusen have ever scored with three headers in a single game. So it's definitely unusual for them

Did nobody tell him you don't have to socially distance yourself from the ball?

Hearts have always done that with the relentless shelling the ball upfield so it comes down with ice on it.......

Werder Bremen
My cousin who posts on here adopted them as his German team.
Plus his dad celebrated them winning the league in 93??
Actually looking forward to there game on Monday v Leverkusen who recently pumped the Huns

I bump into him now and again, he's a right knob.
