Auf Geht's Bayern Kämpfen Und Siegen!

TSV 1860 München Cheers:

SECHSZIG (palms out over head facing the field), clap clap clap, SECHSZIG, clap clap clap (TRANSLATION: 60, 60)

Weiß Blau, Weiß Blau TSV! Weiß Blau, Weiß Blau TSV! (sung before the game to an epic song in order to get the crowd energized) (TRANSLATION: White, Blue, White Blue TSV)

Auf Geht's Löwen, Kämpfen und Siegen! (series of handclaps) Auf Geht's Löwen, Kämpfen und Siegen! (along with the shortened version which is just Auf Geht's Löwen, Auf Geht's! (to the rhythm and sound of the traditional DEFENSE cheer in basketball) (TRANSLATION: Let's Go Lions, Fight and Conquer)

***special for the game I watched...Dritte Liga, Jena ist Dabei! Dritte Liga, Jena ist Dabei! (Jena, the opponent was in 2nd to last place in the 2nd league, so the crowd was saying they should be in the 3rd league) (TRANSLATION: 3rd League, Jena is there!)


FC Bayern München Cheers:

Auf Geht's Bayern, Kämpfen und Siegen! (series of claps...) Auf Geht's Bayern, Kämpfen und Siegen! (Translation: Let's Go Bayern, Fight and Win...or Conquer)

BAYYYYYYEEEEERRRRN! (one side of stands) BAAAYYYYYEEERRRN (other side answers...this repeats for a while). This cheer caused shivers to jolt up my back. Imagine 60,000 people yelling all at once. Incredible.

STEH AUF WENN IHR BAYERN SEID! (Translation: Stand Up If You Are For Bayern) (yelled by the small and dedicated group of super-fans) Response: The entire crowd in the non-standing seats raises to its feet in unison and begins to clap faster and faster. At the same time the crowd sings "SHEH AUF WENN IHR BAYERN SEID!" Another goosebump moment that cannot be described unless one experiences this.




At some point I will make the appropriate Fußball post that this blog so deserves and needs. This is a taste for now since some of you out there in the Internets have said the posts aren't coming as soon as you would like. For your knowledge, I was gone for the past week in Austria and Slovenia on a trip before classes start this week. There is a lot to write about that trip so hopefully I will have some time in the next few days to write about it. Ciao from Bayern.
