Gutted Napoli lost earlier.

Fair play to Atalanta though.

The Rome derby really needs a goal but the passion is certainly there.

Come on Roma.

Edit: 1-0 Roma

Just wondering...and I'm not taking the piss or anything, I'm generally wondering....

How a lot of you have gained a sort of attachment to different foreign teams?

I like a few teams yes.

It is nothing like the passion I have for Leicester though because I don't support any of them I just like them.

I think we all have certain teams we like in different leagues across Europe and the world for that matter.

I go to the Nou Camp once a season for a Barca game, we have been doing it for years now.

I also go to watch either Roma or Napoli when I am in Italy.

Foreign football has always played a huge part in my life, I prefer watching Serie A and La Liga than watching the Premier league to be totally honest.

(The Rome derby was a great spectacle, Roma came under pressure late on but overall deserved to win the game, Baptista getting on the end of Totti's cross. 1-0 Roma)

I watched the teams I actually have a passion for. I have a favourite team in each league that I'll always pick when I play fifa or something but don't follow them. I can see your point, don't see why some people are attached to some clubs, guess its just because they like to look out for someone other than city? :dunno:

Fair enough guys, I wasn't intending to put a negative view on liking an other team...but I guess that's sort of how it came out. Me, for example, I don't have a liking for a foreign team in particular...and was just wondering whether it was common or whether I should watch foreign football more or something lol.

I guess at some point in my late teens I should get myself out to a foreign country and experience european football first hand.

Greek side from Salonica (Thessaloniki) Greece so it's gotta be Aris FC.

Personally the only three foreign teams I look out for and hope to succeed are Monaco (because I've been to a game there and really enjoyed it, and the actual place is amazing) and Cologne and Frankfurt (merely because I think both cities are great).

Not exactly great reasons for supporting teams I know. lol

Atalanta!!! Now back to 10th.

Wonderful, spectacular - especially the free-kick by Manfredini. Geovanni-like. :cool:

Yeah at the expense of Napoli >_<

Atalanta played very well though and deserved the win.

Yes I agree with that. I don't really have a problem with it though, I think it is good, as long as it does not conflict with City then it is fine.

I have seen a few teams play in Europe, just mainly due to the fact that every holiday I go on I always have to squeeze a match in.

Like I say, Barcelona is a once a season thing, cheap weekend if you do it right.

Then when me and the missus go Italy (because she is Italian and a huge Juve fan) we usually go and catch a Juve, Roma or Napoli game depending on where we are.

As for other leagues, I like a few teams and I would love to go and watch them, Lyon are one, Don't have a German one that I usually want to do well, although I do like Hamburg... Any other suggestions?

One team I have always liked and would love to go and watch (but would probably die in the process) would be Boca Juniors.

My girlfriend has Argentinian family and they have invited us over to Buenos Aires.

Death Trap.....

P.S - For those that didn't see it. Check the clever play by Messi and Alves here in Barcelona's 2-0 win last night. Clever buggers.

Just watched my Bundesliga highlights.

Bochum out the relegation zone with that point on Friday :scarf:

Bayern let a 2 goal lead slip away at BMG, will be interesting to see if they bounce back and beat Cottbus (I expect picture Cat Burger!!) who are bottom of the table.

Frankfurt got thrashed 4-0 by Dortmund who looked very impressive against a poor Eintracht. Kuba was quality. I never realised he was Blazkoski!

Leverkusen and Hoffenhiem both won, extending their lead at the top...Helmes and Ibisevic again on the scoresheet for their two teams. Helmes first goalscorer tomorrow is a tidy bet.

My Groundhopping friend replies (sounds similar to many of our fans situations)

This is very complex and hard to explain in english but I'll try anyway.

The neutral visitor might get the impression that Germany is the ideal football world. If you are an active fan (those that create the atmosphere on the terraces) you are likely to be terrorised by the police. For the police, there is no difference between Hooligans and Ultras. They know the difference, but they don't care. As you may have seen there is little violence in the Bundesliga. Less violence means less police forces. But many policemen are specialised on football violence. If the police report doesn't contain any violence, someone may think the job is dispensable.

So many fans have been banned from attending football games for "violence" that would never qualify as violence in real life. Football hooligans are registered in the card index "Gewalttäter Sport". Some are in there because they tried to settle a dispute, some are in there for putting a sticker of their club in the away section of a stadium. Once you are in that index, you can as well give up your passport as they might not let you out of the country when you go on holidays with your wife and kids. Stadium bans for this kind of violence ranges from 2 to 5 years. Fan career is over.

I don't go to many Bundesliga matches any more but I do see a lot of lower league games. Why it is necessary to protect the whole town with hundreds of policemen because of a 75 away fan mob I will never know. To justify this, something has to happen. A little provocation towards those 75 makes them look like a massive bunch of hooligans. 10 of them arrested. Next time there will be a hundred policemen more.

I could go on for years. Makes me sick.

Bit off topic but Velez beat Boca 3-2.

:wub: Velez.

No it is not off topic, I would like to include international leagues in this thread because I always get my fix of Boca Juniors via the internet.

Why Velez then for you?

Very, very vaguely remember them winning the Libertadores when I was about four, and they won a fair few titles after that. They beat Sao Paolo (I think), on penalties, and I remember supporting them because they wore blue.

They've been my favourite Argy team ever since, and they always seem to have a good young contingent (Mauro Zarate began there, before moving to Qatar). I'm desperately trying to hunt down a shirt for less than £50 on the internet though.
