[Shaun]

Are any of you weird like me and find yourself preferring certain football teams in different countries?

I think it probably stems from playing them on computer games :tongue:

But yeah, for some reason I seem to support Valencia in Spain, Bayer Leverkusen in Germany [I went there once, the people showing us around were really nice :tongue:] and Lazio in Italy.

It was myths and legends about a Britney fan also being a football fan in the thread, some would laugh and some would shout witchcraft, but the myth is true..

I watch Roma whenever they are on BT Sport, it was just because of Manolas at first but now that I've watched them a few times I've really started to like the club. Olympiakos also, it was brilliant watching their Champions League run last season and they are on the brink of pulling off something similar again this year.

Not too bothered outside of those, I'll watch Barca when I can for Suarez and like to see Hearts do well, but don't really care much.

[MTVN]

Roma are my main foreign team, sort of go through phases of following them more closely than others, was pretty into Serie A last season but not watched much of it this year so far apart from checking the scores

Never been able to really get that into teams in any other leagues, would say Valencia but La Liga really fails to interest me, so does the Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Quite like Zenit in Russia but hard to keep up with their league.

There are some other foreign teams who I quite like but don't keep up with like Dynamo Kiev and Red Star Belgrade. Also the mighty FC Vaduz in Liechtenstein who are actually doing well atm, in the Swiss Prem after being promoted last season and keeping themselves off the bottom

It would probably have been easier to list the teams you dont favour :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Tbh, maybe Real Madrid shouldn´t be in the list, as i used to favor Barcelona and Atl. Madrid when they played against them and i hated that they always seemed to win. Also favored Sporting and Porto way more than Benfica.

Juventus i liked because of Ravanelli and co. Ajax, because of Jari Litmanen. Others, well because i liked their game style.

My favorite leagues were in order of: Portugal, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Scotland and Germany. (in terms of which ones i liked to watch more)

Sadly Germany´s and especially England league were shown quite rarely.


Eurosport in the 90´s was so great. :flutter:

Especially from 1990 through 1995.

[BBfanUSA]

America (My homeland technically, but listing it anyway): Seattle Sounders FC, I support a lower league club too.
Spain: Atletico Madrid
Germany: Bayern Munich (An American Plays for them but I loved them beforehand)/Herta Berlin (American Plays on the squad.)
England: Everton (Started when Landon Donovan got loaned out to them, then I found out Howard's the goalie.), and in the lower leagues Torquay United.
France: Paris St. Germain
