Photos: Only in Bavaria

By: Jan | October 5th, 2009

In the past Bayern’s traditional visit of Munich’s Oktoberfest was a way of celebrating humorless league dominance with one Maß after the other. In recent years it has been more about putting a good face on matters and drowning your sorrow in alcohol. At least the players now know, what it feels like signing for 1860 Munich.

Louis van Gaal gives us an idea what Donald Trump could look like, if he cared to invest in a better wig.

Dear mom and dad,

I have arrived in Munich. The weather is very good. I visited the Oktoberfest and had a lemonade or two. Had a great trip.

Many, many greetings,
Philipp

Baby Müller with a heart shaped pretzel and his love interest. Now you know how Bavarians symbolically break up. The ones with a sense for drama.

  This is clearly the reason for Bayern Munich existing.

  Same sentiments with Luka regarding Lahm. And come to think of it, Louis van Gaal do look like Donald Trump.

  @Abby: interesting theory, I always thought Bayern Munich’s existence might have to do with some form of punishment for past sins.

  @Luka, Diana: I think those are genetically enhanced giant Ladybugs.

  No, no, Jan. Those ladybugs are actually normal size. That’s displaying just how tiny Lahm actually is.
