Favorite team outside of England

[KingKev]

Any team from Andalucia - Sevilla, Cordoba, Malaga, Jerez, Cadiz...I just love the region.
Plus, As of last week Maribor (snigger..)

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Deportivo A Coruna.
Munich 1860

 

[horshamite]

Cowdenbeath and St Johnstone. Have cousins up there.

 

[Eagle Slayer]

Ajax Amsterdam. If they decided to keep some of the players together they had in the 90 and 00's they could have probably been one of the best teams in Europe. Their Coaching and management set up now of De Boer, Bergkamp , Overmars , Van Der Sar could teach the youngsters a thing or two.

I have been to watch Lille at their old ground, their fans were pretty loud with a singing section behind the goal and another really noisy lot in a corner.
I like the fries and mayo stalls outside French football grounds.

I went to watch SM Caen about 3 years ago the atmosphere wasn't anything like Lille.

Thanks for your info on Lille. Caen are the only team in France I've seen play (25yrs ago), I don't remember any sort of atmosphere either.

I'm going to pick Lille as they are in the Champions League which gives me more options as to when I go & see them.

I saw England play Columbia in Lens at the 98 World Cup. The stadium reminded me of Anfield and the bars in the town were excellent. So Lens it is.

Cheers for info. I'm picking Lille because they are in the Champions League & I'm a glory seeking plastic fan (when in France)!

 

[Mayonaise]

Gent in the Belgian league for me. I met some lads on as summer holiday who turned into great drinking buddies and were passionate Gent fans.

They invited me over to watch a league match the following season and surprised me with VIP treatment. I got to go the pitch, shake both team captain's/ref's hands at kick off. Great day out apart from the result which was a 0-1 defeat to Racing Club Genk. They usually finish around 4th or 5th behind the Anderlechts etc in the Belgian league.

Lille were knocked out of the Champions League in the qualifying round. They are in the Europa League instead in the same group as Everton.

My favourite teams outside of England always depend on who's playing/managing them.

At the moment I like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Juve, Dortmund, PSG. Put it this way... I don't like watching the 'shit' European teams. I proper hate Barca at the mo. And mainly because that little rat Busquets is still there. Used to like Barca when they had Rivaldo and Kluivert.

Lille is also a very nice city, I haven't seen the new stadium yet but i would like to go back one day.

Opps.... I should have meant Europa!

 

[BensGrandad]

AEL Limassol

 

[mel blyth]

Elche.
Half an hour away and cheap to watch.

My Spanish team is Real Murcia been to see them at Elche a few times when we were in the same league!

 

[BadFish]

Ancona and Melbourne Heart

 

[Eeyore]

Club Brugge & Lazio.

I love the city of Bruges and I've followed Lazio since 1990, when Italian football was on the television on Sundays.

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Germany Schalke/ Hertha Berlin. Both blue and white. St Pauli. The fans.
Swiss FC Zurich.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Always liked Fiorentina in Italy. Partly because of their purple kit and partly because of the years that Gabriel Batistuta played up front for them and scored a bagful of goals for them, even while they were in Serie B and he was one of the best centre forwards in the world at the time.

Fiorentina for me too. Grew up watching Football Italia and loved the purple kit. The fact they had Toldo, Chiesa, Batistuta, Manuel Rui Costa amongst others playing for them at the made them great to watch.

 

[Razzoo]

St. Mirren because my uncle is a supporter.

 

[Mental Lental]

Not having a good season. Relegation fodder.

 

[Juan Albion]

Persib of Bandung, currently second in the Indonesian Super League.

This year I was lucky enough to go to their local derby against Pelita Bandung Raya. Technically it was a PBR home game but the crowd was probably 95% Persib. Very strange. Sadly PBR fluked a 1-0 win, their first ever win over the mighty Persib.
