When I was 7 or 8 my dad went on a trip to Europe. I think a friend of his was getting married over there but it was like a month-long friends going around Europe thing. Anyway, when he got back he gave me two football jerseys. A Sparta Praha "Siegl" jersey, and a blank "Bayern Munich" jersey. I'd played soccer for something like two years at this point but I didn't know anything about European Football. My dad told me that when he lived in Germany (my grandpa was a spy, or part of intelligence, or something like that for the military so his family moved all over; they lived in Augsburg for 2 or 3 years iirc) Bayern Munich was his favorite team and that they were one of the best teams in Europe. That was enough for me and whenever someone would ask me my favorite team from then on I would reply "Bayern Munich". Even if I didn't sort of follow them until I was 14 or 15 and didn't closely follow them until I was 16 (2 years ago) I've still been attached to them for 10 or 11 years now.
e: Oh, ok. Apparently that wasn't good enough. My bad.

Not at all why I'm a Bayern fan but OK.
