Watching VfL Wolfsburg vs Fulham right now in a UEFA Europa League game. Besides the underdog factor, I also find myself pulling for Fulham because they have a pair of Americans on the team. (They had a few more in past years.) Of course now that I have the opportunity to watch, neither are playing tonight. With just a few minutes left, it looks like Fulham has this one and is moving on in the tournament.
I wanted to watch a lot more games here, but unfortunately very few games are on regular TV. League games require a subscription package. Only these international games seem to be on regular TV. Now, I'm not changing sides here but I have noticed something that creates a soft spot for Wolfsburg. Every now and then the crowd breaks into a song whose melody was obviously stolen from the old Banana Splits show. Yes, those Banana Splits.
I don't know if this song is common in German games, or just specific to Wolfsburg. Nevertheless, Wolfsburg, you just might have a new casual fan.
