Here in Finland most follow English football (reason is that we have had this kind of lottery what you can play every saturday) There you must try to know 13 games are they 1X2 home / draw / away ( this since 1940 ) English football winter time and Finnish league summer time.
This are my favorite teams
Italy = old lady / Juventus
Germany = The Blue-Whites / Hertha Berlin
Spain = Los Leones / Athletic Bilbao
((( those all have stripes )))
