Spain : Barca (The Nou Camp has to be seen to be believed!) and Depo (just like them)
Italy : Ac Milan (Maldini is a legend)
Croatia : FC Vojvodina (and yes I have the jersey to prove it)
Germany : Dortmund (the horrible yellow kit everytime)
Scotland : Queen of the South (stupid name)
France : Marsellies or PSG (dunno why really)
Holland : Ajax
I Love:
Shamrock Rovers (greatest club in the world)
I Like:
Celtic (the obvious Irish links)
Napoli (El Diego + mad fans)
Barcelona (més que un club as they say + El Diego)
Boca Juniors (El Diego,again + mental fans)
Panathinaikos (Rovers links,good crest/colors +mad fans)
Cliftonville (Rovers links+nationalist club of belfast)
seen them all bar Boca (unless their under 20 team counts?) and PAO play
as for Hibs being the original Irish team was not Dundee Harps (now United) the original Irish club?im open to correction on that though
as for "AC" Milan.it annoys me when people refer to Milan as "AC". AC is Associazione Calcio-the italian equivalent of Football Club.Fiorentina and Parma both have "AC" before their name.no-one refers to Rovers as FC or to st pats as AFC, likewise no-one should refer to Milan as AC.its simply Milan and Inter, not AC and Inter Milan
FAO who started this thread:why do you follow so many shyte teams.it doesnt make sense to follow loads of obscure crap teams simply for being obscure crap teams
Hibernian are the original Irish team in Scotland. They were founded in 1875.Quote:
