THREAD: #Bundesliga is back. Dear English FT fam: Here are 4 reasons why you guys should support #Eintracht #Frankfurt. Please read it, it's worth it. I promise! #SGE
1) CITY
Frankfurt is Germany's financial center. Some people call it "Mainhattan" because of it's NYC type skyline and the river Main flowing through the city. People here are known to be very honest but lovely. ❤️
2) ULTRAS/SUPPORTERS
Eintracht Frankfurt's Ultras are worldknown for their incredible support. Over the last years they made incredible tifos, engaged socially and showed resistance to the corrupt football system.
Some people say they are the best supporters in Germany, some people say Top 3 - create your own image.

Just take a look at the whole stadium, 20 MINUTES AFTER THE GAME, still celebrating Eintracht's win against Benfica together with the team. That's huge.
3) FUCK NAZIS
This is our president Peter Fischer. He once said that people who elect the far right AfD party cannot be Frankurt fans. Eintracht is the only club that actively excludes AfD members. The club is proud to be multicultural, just like the whole city.
4) 2016-2019 ERA
In 2016 it looked like Eintracht would get relegated from the Bundesliga. No more hope, bad players. But there he came: Niko Kovac. He saved us from relegation and managed to win the German cup for us in the next year.
The players were heroes for the city, especially Rebic and Prince Boateng. We didn't have the best players but we were fighting. Just take a look at Mijat Gacinovic running onto the empty goal to decide the game and make it 3-1. First trophy after 30 years. Try not to cry. Wow.
This is the city of Frankfurt on the day after the cup win - welcoming their heroes.🦅 The streets were packed.
After that, we thought it couldn't get any better. Boateng left, Kovac left to Bayern and we had a new coach: Adi Hütter. This guy decided to let some youngster play more often. Man, that was a good decision. This players name was LUKA JOVIC.
Together with SEBASTIEN HALLER and ANTE REBIC we had one of Europe's most dangerous attacking trios. Pure power. Ice cold ballers. Some called them the herd of buffaloes. Wanna see how ice cold they were? Take a look:
Sébastien Haller at West Ham is doing okay, I guess. But in Frankfurt he was from another planet. French alien.
Rebic trusted Jovic so much that he was already celebrating before Jovic even touched the ball. 🇭🇷🇷🇸🇫🇷
Last seasons's Europa League run was incredible (we had qualified through the cup win).
Some called us EL's Ajax Amsterdam because we were the underdog, who managed to win every single group game against Lazio and Marseille, we won against Shakthar, Lazio, Inter, Benfica and got kicked out unluckily in the semi final against Chelsea after penalties.
Our fans travelled around Europe and together with the team we had a incredible time. Chelsea and Arsenal supporters can confirm how loud our supporters were, I guess.
4) TODAY
Last year every Frankfurt fan was heartbroken, when Jovic, Haller and Rebic left. That shit hurt, man. Those 3 guys loved the city and the city loved them back so hard. We got Portuguese talent André Silva on loan from Milan and bought Dutch legend Bas Dost.
Somehow those guys don't work like the other boys did last year.

Right now, we're getting kicked out of the EL by FC Basel and are standing on the 12th place in the Bundesliga. We don't complain - being a Frankfurt fan means riding a emotional rollercoaster your whole life.🎢😅
6) FILIP FUCKING KOSTIC
BUT this year we find ourselves a new hero. Some people only know him from his FIFA card, but if you guys watch him play once you will know why we love him so much.

This guy is a tank. His market value went up to 45 million € after last season.🔥🔥
Check this video out and you will know why we enjoy him as long as we can - he's probably gonna leave to join Atletico or Inter next season. 99 Stamina, 99 shot power, 99 pace. Volim te, Filip.✌🏻
That's the thread guys. I somehow messed the numbers up, but there are 1000 other reasons to love @eintracht_eng ❤️ I hope I was able to show you why I love this club so fucking much. Please share this video with your twitter bubble! As we say in Frankfurt: Gude. That means bye.
Addition: #Arsenal fans - remember this Kamada guy? We made you get rid of Emery, I guess that’s a reason to support us now, right?😊 #AFC @hughwizzy @AFTVMedia @GurjitAFC
