WCB Team Member: Bense

March 29th, 2006 |

Dortmund and German native, 24 years old. I’m not a hardcore supporter of Borussia Dortmund, but I follow them as they are my home team. Grown up a stonethrow from the stadium, football was always a vital and important part of my life. I love my German Mannschaft ever since I sat in tears in front of the TV in the summer of 1990. I also have a weak spot for small teams like Iceland, Faroe Islands and Liechtenstein. Of course, only as long as they don’t play the Mannschaft. I’m gonna be a volunteer for both the city and the FIFA this WC, and I’m gonna root as hard as I can as a neutral volunteer for Germany. Overall, I just wish this is going to be “a time to make friends” – Die Welt zu Gast bei Freunden!

I thank Bense for agreeing for this interview. What challenges has Germany as a country faced and how has it overcome them looking back as the World Cup is nearly upon us? [...]
