Favourite foreign team(s)

[davids]

Hibs Girona and Valencia

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

A club with a great history, one of the oldest in Holland, if I'm not mistaken. These lads properly hated feyenoord though, with a passion.

Yeah, Feyenoord don't have a great reputation with anybody. Them and Ajax believe they have a divine right to win everything and some horrible fans to boot. Feyenoord are kind of the establisment team in Rotterdam too with the city bending over backwards to help them on infrastructure and investment around the stadium. Sparta are an unfashionable afterthought who have to fend for themselves. They are one of the oldest indeed. I think they started as a cricket club...Back in the top flight this year, also.

Excelsior is the other club in Rotterdam, they're worth a visit too.

A few red shirted sides being followed in here.

Interesting.

Don't ever let them monopolize a colour. They try and take over everything else.

 

[TippEverton]

Do AFL sides count?If so then the Melbourne Demons with Carlton a close second.

You've claimed to support half the worlds football clubs at some point, and no, this is the world football thread, doubt anyone gives a toss what aussie rules team you support.

 

[Billy Dean]

Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Zaragoza for me.

 

[bluenosedave]

Hertha BSC
CD Tenerife
Stranraer

 

[Ballly]

Ajax for me. First shirt I ever had and the Cruyff turn was my go to move (4% success rate)

The U.N.A.M. Pumas playing out of Mexico City was the first professional footie game I ever saw. I still love them and follow them. Their logo is the Puma, but also (purposely) resembles the goalposts for American football to pay tribute to Notre Dame collegiate football (hence, also why their colors are blue/yellow).

 

[Old Blue 2]

Sampdoria.

I was working in London in the early-'90s, the year when the European Cup Final (was it still called that then?) was at Wembley between Barcelona & Sampdoria. I was in digs in Wembley, so headed to the ground to get a programme. Touts trying to sell me tickets for between £50 & £100. Bang on kick-off time, a tout came back and offered me a £12.50 ticket for £20, so I took it. Scoreboard end - Sampdoria fans! Now I've been in some pent-up Everton ends in previous decades, but those Italian fans were something else! I could only understand one word of all they said: 'Bastardo!' - bellowed at the ref every time he gave a decision against them, even if it was right at the other end of the pitch and they couldn't have a clue about it! The most hilarious 120 minutes of my life watching football. Unfortunately, a certain player named Koeman scored the only goal of the game, but the Sampdoria fans took it with good grace and applauded the only Barcelona player who came down to the scoreboard end to applaud them (that was never shown on TV - the Barcelona player tried to beckon the rest of his team-mates to come down to him, but they did not see him).

Never forget that night with the Sampdoria fans!

Ajax. Still follow them.

 

[monty]

Wrexham and Sligo Rovers

Brechin City, always felt sorry for them as they appeared to be consistently bottom of the table, as they still are.

 

[summerisle]

I follow O'Higgins (just because of the name) in Chile, and now of course Everton CD as they're now in the same league.
And again because of the name Oddsballklub who are currently 3rd I think in the Swedish league.

Great name O'Higgins, on a par with Newell's Old Boys from Argentina.

Lovely little ground.
