By the way, I love how people have "pride" in supporting a team located 3,000+ miles away on another continent in a country they've probably never set foot in. |
Most people would feel honored that their local football clubs, big or small have such a big following on countries thousands of miles away. But nooooooooooo!!!!! leave it to the Brits to be offended :stongue: |

What was wrong with Brazilian teams? You've got an incredible footballing heritage, and you're selling your soul in exchange for a plastic shirt to a team you have no connection to. What have you got to have "pride" in? You didn't cheer for QPR or Crystal Palace, you chose a high-flying team being sold as a commodity all over the world. Brazilian teams have no money and no fans anymore and they have to flog their best players to Europe to keep going. Your country's football has been strip mined and people like you have contributed by following distant points on a map rather than your own clubs.

This is such bull, you assume I don't follow Brazillian soccer closely and even worse you assume no one else does either. I support Palmeiras and have for all my life. But can't I also follow european soccer and root for a team I have for more than 10 years now? What's wrong with that? I like good soccer, period. I followed Chelsea long before Maurinho got in there and made it what it is today. You really know nothing if you say Brazillian soccer has no fans. |

I also love how you only ever see foreigners supporting Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester Utd. When was the last time you saw a yank supporting West Brom? If it wasn't so pathetic it'd almost be laughable. |
that's because as children growing up we never hear about teams like newcastle. its like learning about lichtenstein, who gives a ? |

You're a puto fan. I bet without looking at league tables and wikipedia you couldn't name the 20 teams in la liga this season. Mexicans always lack that. |

Alright, this pissing contest is useless. First off, I do hate bandwagoners and glory hunters, and I've met plenty of them. They started watching the game 2 years ago and chose Man U as "their" team without really understanding and appreciating different leagues and getting aquainted with the game.
But lets not forget the fact that English football is no longer "English" football. It is now a global brand. How many english players are playing in the EPL? So, what if the world wants to join in on the fun. If someone from Côte d'Ivoire wants to support Chelsea because of Drogba, I don't see anything wrong with this.
And for the people across the pond, put yourself in the position of a person from America, North and South. I grew up supporting a club from Veracruz Mexico. But the best football is played in Europe. It attains and keeps the best talent in the world, and has the grandest competitions. Most people outside that relm want to get caught up in the fun, and picking some team to support allows you to jump in with a point of reference. Also, the matches aired mostly show the bigger clubs, so to ask someone why they don't support WBA is stupid because no one will ever see their matches. Some of you blast American arrogance, but look at yourself if you can't step into somebody else's shoes and see things from their perspective.
But like I said in another post, I don't support a club, but I enjoy watching certain clubs. I wish more people would do the same instead of bandwaggoning. |
