Sell me your favorite football team!

@IH-GARY having been an away fan at both Middlesbrough and West Ham, I’m not sure ‘friendly locals’ is the first thing that springs to mind

Great shout about Celtic though. Fantastic support with the best atmosphere I’ve ever experienced on European football nights.

@IrishHeart To be fair I am a little Boro biased as I was born in Teesside and grew up there so will always be Smoggie at heart but I lived in Glasgow for 12 years so got quite fond of Celtic. I lived close to Park Head and match days were a sight to behold and the atmosphere in the City around an old firm game was incredible.

@IH-GARY I did have a soft spot for Boro when my all time hero, Bryan Robson was there.

I have been to several OF matches including cup finals. There is nothing in England to compare, although not as good now that they don’t allow away support at the games.

Sorry, I’m the opposite with Boro, or the Leicester of the North East (trying to find a spare place in an actual local rivalry).

I may be biased though as someone tried to stab me there when I was teenager

@IH-GARY Mon the Hoops!

[Megatron1505]

I do have a soft spot for Celtic too, half of my family are from Glasgow and all massive Celtic fans.

@IrishHeart No more so than in that champions league semi final, absolutely incredible. And a hilarious pundit

Throw my hat into the ring with the ,Bundesliga‘ and my home club BVB.

@Aetas said in Football (Soccer) in Oct. 2013:

… you can find my IH here.

The stand holds 28,000 in a BVB league match as it's safe terracing.

Zach you strike me as the type of dude who likes to take the road less traveled. I’ll throw a team in the pitch you’ve probably never heard of.

I used to live in Colombia, South America for a few years. Small city called, Manizales. They have a team called Once Caldas.

While I lived there you always knew a big game was a foot because the visiting team fans would decend on the town in droves. Marching into town on foot like marauding banshees coming to overthrow the town. It was nuts!! I went to several national championship games while I lived there. I would see bonfires lit up inside the stadium and fans dancing around the fires like aborigines. Lines of riot police snaked through the crowd to extinguish the flames only for another bonfire to erupt in a new location. The chanting, the rhythmic pounding of feet stomping and fans jumping in unison….it was like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

Once Caldas is my nomination.

@Aetas That energy is incredible!

@Mizmazzle That sounds like an experience that left an indelible mark in your memory. So amazing!
