I've been looking for that silver lining

exsequarI love this team sfm.
HOW CUTE ARE THEY?! (Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
n720!)
That love is definitely trumping my melancholy and disappointment. This is a team of awesome boys who love each other, and that's not changed by this loss. Sure, they wanted the World Cup (who doesn't??), but in four years, all but 2 of them (Klose and ARNE :(((() will be still able to play for the Cup again.
I am not leaving them in the meantime! Last WC I was like "aw, too bad, moving on", but now they have set up shop in my heart and aren't going anywhere. What this means is that I will be following the Bundesliga next season! \o/ My favorites (Basti and Lahm) are on the same club team (Bayern Munich), so that's pretty much decided for me. *g* Hellooo to all my new Germany football fan friends here on LJ! It's gonna be an ongoing #ger party, woo!
I guess this is a bit of a heads up to my flist that I'll still be talking about their stupid faces. Instead of figure skating, I picked football. *hands* It really has been something of a personal renaissance - I have always loved this sport, but this WC reminded me just how much, to the extent that I'm joining an indoor "soccer" league starting next week! Yay! I haven't played soccer in over 5 years, but this WC has made me simply itch to have a soccer ball at my feet again. I can't wait to make that happen - even if I suck horribly, it's a rec league, so it should still be good fun. :)
Next up: learn German so I can understand my boys... :P
(I realize I still owe a NYC/American Idiot recap post! I WILL make it, because I want to remember that awesome awesome weekend, and I have great photos to share with you. I've just been so busy!)

Date: 2010-07-08 08:44 pm (UTC)There was I already falling in love with Thomas in October. :D :D My wee one. ♥ It was like a journey in the past because during the last 4 weeks I didn't really think about my club but seeing what we achieved last season (and seeing all my boys: Basti, Thomas, Holger etc so so *happy* made me smile hard)
Here, have some examples:
#31 is Basti :) Riding on Mario's back.
#21 is Philipp
And Miro and Thomas are jumping in there as well.
Holger and hats. A long story *gg*
The one clinging on Lukas is of course Miro. :D
♥
(would have loved to see them as happy yesterday... .... ...)
!!!!! :D
So enough now with the random!spam.
And of course I'll talk about it in English!!! ♥ I only talk about Footie in German over on facebook, lol. And that's not even talking that's only just "OMG WE WON" or something lie it.
I LOVED playing on a soccer team in high school - one of the best times of my life. :)
You totally have to report how it's going. I'm going to cheer for you from here.

Date: 2010-07-09 05:38 am (UTC)The gif is amazing! Such bouncy, happy boys! And wow Mario must be strong to lift Basti like that, hee. All of them are like BOING BOING BOING and oh man, love it. What game is that from?
I feel I will easily fall in love with Holger. And Mueller - though I kind of am already! ♥
Don't you sometimes make posts on LJ in German? Or are those not about Bayern?
Aw, thanks girl! I could tell you stories about when I played in high school - I was a defender, right back just like my hero Lahm, and I loved taking free kicks. One time I made an assist off a free kick from our own half! That was quite a shining moment. :D It was just - so much fun. ♥

I wanted him to leave at some point because it was high-class-drama but right now I'm in an awwww-Lukas and awwww-everyone, so that's cute.)
Oh no! What was the drama about? DDD:
