About

My name is Matthew Buening, I am 21 years old, and I live in Seattle Washington. I lived in Guatemala for six months where I learned more about the Beautiful Game, and now I am a soccer addict. I started following FC Barcelona in Guatemala after reading about their history during the Spanish Civil War and later started following FC Bayern Munich as well because of my Bavarian heritage.

I am obviously a big Seattle Sounders FC supporter and US National Team supporter. I also like the German National Team.

    Lol! Sorry Matt, I'm a huge Kevin Durant fan. Plus I think Russell Westbrook is a great. But he dresses like a weirdo.

    I do miss the Seattle Supersonics. I remember the days of George Karl, Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, and even Detlef Schrempf. The mascot looked like Chewbacca. lol.

    There you go- some positivity. Hey, you are a Barca fan too- so last year must have been fun. For me, my other team is Arsenal- so life is equally tough on both fronts. But, probably 90% of me is Bayern- Bayern always wins out and my love for this club is so great that it really hurts when they shoot themselves in the foot. FIFA 12-:) After 2010, I stayed away from the game until the WC kicked off. I think I will do the same until Germany takes to the field on June 9th. Its been a hard season. And I agree with the eggs being in one basket. But Bayern has a duty to fulfill in other comps. I doubt whether KHR or Hoeness will allow that.

    Tell me about it Matthew- no defeat has pained me as much as this one. All day I have been in tears and calling friends who know the pain of losing. I think this is what we needed- losing like this. In 2010, the way we lost was much different. This team will not give a damn about the league or cup next season. They will come back to win CL. I would rather that Bayern does not return to the final if it means losing like this. Nonetheless, I feel for Schweini but most of all, I feel for Lahm. Next year, though, I am expecting a dull season considering its after the euros much like 2010-11. I hate the CL- it is my least favourite competition- it has given me so many aches down the years as a Bayern and Arsenal fan. But this loss hurts like no other.

    Hey, how are you coping? I couldn't get out of bed this morning. But then I did and I called a United fan and he told me to take my own advice- stay away from newspapers, not watch tv etc etc. Hey, at the end of the day I am still proud. Yes, we have managed to pull off a Neverkusen. But at the end of the day, I am okay with it- We have lost two in the last three years. But we have come a long way since then. Luck wasn't on our side today. Yes, we lost in Munich, but sooner or later we will do it. I will be back against next season even though I was doubting that last night. Our team is still young- we will have another chance. I am sure of it. I am still really upset and I am really hurting but sometimes its better to be lucky than good. We deserved it but didn't get it. Its hope that keeps me alive.

    Yea I felt bad for Josh when I saw that happened. I hope Josh gets time, but I think Gspuring gets the bulk of the time.
