Favourite Foreign Teams

[Street Preacher]

I dont know if anybody has asked this before,but i thought it'd be interesting to see if anyone has any foreign clubs they have a soft spot for.

 

I really liked dynamo kiev a few years ago when they were doing well in the champions league so i look out for their results now and again.

 

I also like Zenit St. Petersburg because all the big popular clubs seem to be the Moscow teams and thought i'd go the other way.

 

What is it with me and Eastern European clubs?

[Beni]

An obvious one but, Barca. The romance, the history, the tradition- not to mention the cool lookin kit.

Mine is Athletic Bilbao for sentimental reasons. I bought their shirt off the internet last year with 10 Yeste on the back. Best £60 I ever spent. I always look out for their results. But I hated them the other day when they cost me £100 on my bet. Did 6 teams to win was waiting on Bilbao to beat Sevilla and they lost 1-0. I sometimes wear my shirt on matchdays in the hope of bumping in to the Sociedad fans that frequent some of our home games now to see what their reaction is!!!

St Etienne I always watch when they're on the telly. Also good to see Alaves back up in La Liga.

 

Used to follow Bremen because of Stalteri when he was there (and no, I never followed Anderlecht when Radzinski was there).

Barcelona, watched Liverpool there once, been there for a tour before too and the Museum is absolutely superb, amazing place. No shirt sponsors, members own the club, elections every few years. Simply perfect in the way they play their football, the traditions, the alumni of Maradona, Romario, Stoichkov, Haji, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and now Ronaldhino. Just obvious really, everything Real Madrid isn't.

I have a soft spot for Monaco, due to when me and the missus went to the super cup, all the locals were quite friendly as was the driver of our car who picked us up from nice, he was a mad dude, made his day when he came to collect us from our hotel to go back to the airport and he saw me in the Monaco shirt, a big smile beamed across his face. going ah Monaco, you like, and all the way back to nice was cahtting happily about some great games he'd seen at the Stade Louis II, and wanted to know how Anfield compared.

[cochcaer]

Milan during the Van Basten, Riiykaard, Gullit era. Skill, power and pace.

[DT]

AGF Aarhus, my hometown side.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Do they play... No I won't.

[kop]

SK Brann

[DT]

Do they play... No I won't.

 

They play at the end of the street, not in the middle of it.

[Nunavut Patrick]

No. 4,386 Aarhus 'Madness' joke.

Favourite Foreign Team? Liverpool FC

 

With more than a dozen different nationalities, how more foreign could it be?

[MLB]

Always liked Ajax, Milan and Barca.

Ajax in the early 70's were incredible. They just totally outplayed anybody they came up against. Cruyff, Neeskens, Krol, Rep.....what a team. I doubt if anybody has matched them as an attacking team in football history.

Brazil! But the Barcelona team of Stoichkov and Romario were simply amazing in an attacking sense. Two players who hated eachother too! Remember when they beat United 4-0?

 

Also the Liverpool team of 1988 was an attacking team in the pure sense.

I thought we were talking club sides? That Utd team was a bunch of reserves due to the nationality restrictions at the time. The 88' Liverpool team was the best I've seen for us, I think we scored 4 or more on more than 6 occassions that season in the league.

Roy Evans teams could attack too. Pity about the defence.

Just quickly checked Liverweb. We did it 11 times in the league, Dave.

"I think we scored 4 or more on more than 6 occassions that season in the league".

 

When I was at school 11 was more than 6- ;)

 

However, since I was at school I've forgotten how to spell "occasions".

:sniff: Bloody hell. Thats near enough 50 goals!!

[MLB]

Kind of contrats with the current situation, not having won by more than one goal for nearly a year...

[Al Campbell]

Alaves. Made up when they came back up last season.

[Paul]

I like Milan from their days of the three Dutchmen and the Baresi/Costacurta/Maldini defence. However, there's only really one foreign club for me: Barca - "More than a club".

 

I'd love us to be run on their model. Imagine if you could get all those people who turned up to see the European Cup parade to become members. £100 a year membership = £100m a year income before gates/TV/sponsorship are taken into account. But better than that would be the increased sense of belonging, knowing that you had a direct say in the running of Liverpool.

 

The grandest gesture David Moores could ever make would be to give the club to its members.
