I think most foreign plastics like either Bayern for their success or Dortdmund for their lesser success but still being the biggest Bayern challengers. Edit: Katana Gomai posted:"gently caress Bayern" is v. acceptable, but if that's your only MO, you still have 17 teams to pick because we all hate them This.

Mostly going to be following them in the champions league, but I'll catch some Bundesliga games as well. Hopefully they drop Bayern at least once.

Smirr posted:They're a less talented and perpetually uglier version of Dortmund, but their supporters are just as sanctimonious for some reason. Unlike Leverkusen, it's not only funny that they never win any meaningful titles, it's also cool and good and necessary. The only Schalke supporter I know IRL is a guy who looks like a kiddie-fiddling slab of ham and unbuttons his shirts down to the sternum. I'd tell you to stay away from Schalke but you do already have a Man City av so idk. Reminder that Man City dusted Bayern last year with James "Jimmy" Milner, a true brave English Lion, running the match. Could have won by more if Pellegrini knew the tiebrakers, lmao What I am trying to say is that Man City would beat Brazil 14-1.

If you're a lovely bandwagon mercenary oval office there's really only one team if you're leaving bayern off the list. It's Wolfsburg.

Realpost if I were to pick a club to be a Bundesliga plastic for, it would probably be Dortmund. I hate them and I wish I could say I'd pick Freiburg or some other cool club instead, but everything about Dortmund is just so goddamn appealing if you have no horse in the race already. gently caress them

You obviously pick Paderborn, get a feel for the league and when they are relegated next year you follow a proper team.

I'm not sure when I get to remove my plastic title. I started really watching league football about 6-7 years ago. I'd been following Germany in the past world cups, so I wanted to see what team Klose played for because he was my favorite player to watch. It was Bayern Munich, so I started watching their games. When my (then) girlfriend took a study abroad in Munich, I was lucky enough to connect with ephex, who got me amazing tickets to see their last season game against Stuttgart at home in Allianz. It was amazing. But I guess I have to have been born in Munich or something to be a legitimate fan

If you still feel compelled to justify to the internet why you're not a plastic, you're still a plastic. Just watch the foot and be happy when the team you like wins and don't care about what the internet thinks.

Or just move to an area like where I live, it'll solve the problems for you. I'm obligated to support glorious historic champions FC Hansa Rostock or my neo nazi neighbors will loving murder me. This coming season they'll get promoted to the 2nd Liga and then everyone will be happy because they get to brawl with St. Pauli on the regular, and a season or two later they'll be in the Bundesliga sticking it to decadent Wessi scum and other degenerates. hopterque fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jul 9, 2014 |

If you're starting to follow the Bundesliga, might I suggest Nürnberg. We just got relegated, but when we're back you can claim not to be a plastic since you started following us when we were the worst we've been in years.Katana Gomai posted:"gently caress Bayern" is v. acceptable, but if that's your only MO, you still have 17 teams to pick because we all hate them

Best way to like a random team from a sport you just started to follow again. Somehow I get the newsletter in German though so that's always funny to see. For the guy who's stateside (like me) who wants to watch, I use lemonsport or front row but ymmv
