| A newly avowed Schalke fan, I have been personally delivered from temptation by none other than Bayern Munich's team manager Uli Hoeness and chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Completely of my own volition, I confess to flirting with the possibility of making FC Bayern Munich my Bundesliga club of choice and now solemnly swear to reject the false icons the team uses to lure unsuspecting soccer fans to a fiery hell of red and white colored merchandise. But don't get me wrong, I won't deny attraction I felt for the team and now recognize as prurient and base. I was pulled in first by fond -- but now aging -- memories of Philipp Lahm, Lukas Podolski and Bastian Schweinsteiger during the 2006 World Cup. Then awe for Luca Toni and Franck Ribery blinded me. And the team's illustrious record possesses a magnetism of its own. But it was Juergen Klinsman's sheer charisma that finally led to my fall from grace. A Klinsi devotee since his days as a player, I kneeled before the soccer gods and prayed for his success at the head of the national team when others questioned his methods, and I nearly folded my hands again for his sake after the surprise take over at Bayern. Now, with Klinsmann out of the picture, the battle for my soul can come to an end. Jupp Heynckes just doesn't have what Klinsi did, and I suspect wishing a rash of own-goals and missed opportunities on him will come with a long-practiced ease. My this be the first, last and only time I have to say it, but thank you Uli Hoeness and thank you Karl-Heinz Rummenigge for you have saved me. |
