Germany are heading to South Africa for the World Cup next year officially! So happy about this. I love the German team and hopefully they'll find the win they deserve there. My (short) history supporting the German team started during the World Cup in 2006, and since then I've seen them only once in person during a Euro 2008 qualifier in Hamburg, (which they won, thank you very much) but my support for them has grown substantially over the past three years...
I'm half-German, and for most of my life I honestly didn't even recognize this part of my heritage. I focused on my British heritage and it wasn't until I took notice of the German national team that I started to open up to and explore this part of my family history. It seems silly that a football team could be the thing that made me finally take notice, but it's the truth!
And now I'll listen to this, which I have vivid memories of singing along to with tens of thousands of other supporters of the German team:
auf gehts, Deutschland!
