I love soccer myself
Favorite team is definitely 1. FC Nuernberg, just cause I grew up watching them. Theyre not amazing by any means, although they have a lot of history. My greatest memory is going to Munich to see the Bayern derby as a little kid and Nuernberg ruining Bayerns chances at the title.
Did I mention I really REALLY dont like Bayern Munich? And sorry, by that token I really dont like Michael Ballack too much, although he does play for chelsea now.
Favorite players...of all time, definitely Andy Koepke. Greatest goalie that Nuernberg and the German national team ever had. Currently active, hmm, I have to admit, watching Leo Messi play is quite exciting. If I were to stay with my boys in Germany, probably Miro Klose.
