Josh (Texas)
Favorite Current Player: Konstantinos Mavropanos
Fav All-Time Player: Timo Hildebrand
Fav Memory: Growing up in Stuttgart, Arkansas, USA, I naturally gravitated toward VfB when the love of the beautiful game captivated me in my early teens on the back of a Brandi Chastain 1999 Women's World Cup-winning penalty for USA. I then explored other cultures & leagues, living out more victorious moments vicariously. VfB were hot in the early 2000s, & I remember attempting to emulate Kevin Kurányi's goatee!

Alex (Texas)
Favorite Current Player: Endo
Fav All-time Player: Cacau
Fav Memory: When I was in college, cutting class (shhh don't tell anyone) to watch the VfB vs. Barcelona game back at my apartment with some friends. It wasn't the result we wanted (lost 2-0 at home), but it was just so cool that my team (one that no one had ever really heard of here) was going toe to toe with Barca in the Champions League. It was a hugely prideful moment for me.
Position: Holding Midfield
