Word up, I have seen a couple of Helsingborg games at Rasunda, one of my mates is from Skaane and loves them. I had a top time giving it large to Anders Frisk, but unfortunately we were at the Djugarden game where Helsingborg lost 2-1 and Malmo won the title. I have to say I have a soft spot for Helsingborg and Montpellier, but I was, am, and always will be West Ham (only confirmed having been to my first game on Boxing Day).

if i was from england or whatever i think i'd be supporter for life.. but i f*cking live in saudi arabia.. i used to like man utd.. i didnt know any players though.. i wasnt like in love with it...
if i was from a place that actually had a club than i'd be that club's supporter for life.. but its a whole different thing when you live in saudi..
RONG.
Anyone who picks a team for success is bad enough, but then to switch teams (to another successful one, no less) is TERRIBLE. Saudi, Australia, England: it doesn't matter. Choose a team (because of geography, family, colours, success if you must) and stick to them.
I started supporting United 7 years ago, or should i say, i started supporting Beckham 7 years ago, when i started watching soccer for the first time on tv. United were the only team i saw all the time and it was a lot safer to support them, rather than any of the local teams. I am sure you heard about what happens to little kids with scarfs of their local teams in former USSR countries.
So after 2-3 years, i just couldn't switch a team anymore, no matter to who, even when Beckham left, i didn't really care. It's my tv's fault that i support a team, which i never saw in reality, however living in Canada now and monthly buying their magazines, merchandise and shirts is the most i can give to them at the age of 16 and i know that that money i spend every year will help them. Now it feels like i was born in the wrong country and that really i should have been from Manchster.
BTW i have a lot of friends that don't really support any team really strong, but they all liked United before the treble season, after that, so many more people started talking about them, so they all switched teams and now i am stuck with my best friends that like Liverpool, Leeds, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Chelsea(the guy supports them only because Roman is russian, what an idiot, he is the one suffering from Roman and doesn't realize it) and Barcelona. Whenever i visit them in summer, we all start big arguments and then try to settle everything in a ISS tournaments, so it's not so bad.

Weren't you a Roma fan some months ago?
Feyenoord. Everything else is just so boring. And there's hope in our team, which makes me feel better. UEFA 2002 anyone? We "might" repeat it this year.
Oh and Song, the Korean guy, was sent home sold. I'll miss him, but now that I think of it, it wasn't much of him that had me feeling attached to the clubs; many other class qualities like Farfan being booed off the pitch (the video
) and the old days where van Persie came out from the youth squad to play with Hoojidonk.
I sure hope that talentless Gullit is fired by end of this year. Our league position seems like the perfect reason to address and support that, and if that's what the club has to give up in order to get rid of Gullit, so be it.
And the infamous "sssssssssssssss"..... I'm sorry, I truly am. Just think of it as hating a mascot. Like if I were to hate the Detroit Tigers, I sure would hate its mascot, but I would never be segregating the rest of the REAL tigers in the world, I swear.
Anyway, BRING BACK BERT!!

You people use the word "LOVE" way too loosely.
Most likely you really never loved Lazio and you were just at point in your life where you wanted to identify yourself with any team and you chose Lazio maybe because at that time they were doing good.
Anyways, true love comes from the team of your life... a team you always supported. If you come from a country that does not have any "big" teams then you should not feel bad about supporting a "small" local team... a team you can truly identify yourself with.
Personally, I've ALWAYS LOVED Universitario of Peru. That's because of my father and many family members. I was born a Universitario fan... I really had no choice then. But now looking bad, I realize that I really DO LOVE Universitario because it has been part of my life. I mean, not that Universitario is "small" club.. actually they're a big club in Peru, with millions of fans (literaly). But still, not many people around the world know about them, and that doesnt bother me. And that doesn't mean I have to find a "NAME" club to love that people know about.
Anyways, before you love anything else, you should LOVE yourself.
That was beautiful.
He's right. Once I got really emotional watching "Racing" win the Argentine Title (for first time in like 45 years) and I thought that i would get attached to them (as a second team) but years later and I can barely care if they win anymore.
Now I was born with my team (Nacional of Uruguay) and unlike PEruytu , Im really proud that my team is viewed worldwide as a historic world elite. Even in Africa and Japan they know who we are and our players. (also in the "Triple World Champion") <okok....ill stop gloating......getting off topic>
But the thing is that I believe you can have your original club but also be a ttached to another (not in a "Glory hunter way either"
IE: Like the Japanese man who came to Argentina 10 years ago (already loved soccer) and now is a freaken FANATIC (in a "cries every game and painted his house of the team's colours) after falling in love and being accepted to the city of Rosario (its Rosario Central that he loves...by the way)
Like I might move to Europe one day and still be of my team but also fall for "Villa Real" or Yokohama Marinos (if I go to Japan)
Your first club is yourself.........(you cant change who you are unless you do so you can have success..... because your really shallow )
Your other clubs are like women....you can fall in and out of love with them......and even check up on them once in a while (if you ever had a short stint in Europe or something in that city)...just like women
Just a little analogy I just made up.
Anyways......as for LOVE.....(and I mean real Love) is the Uruguayan national team. Ive lived in over 5 cities worldwide and I always feel like they are right beside me. I literally would rather die than abandon Uruguay ever. (Know its wierd but there are cases where Brazil goes to a country (that probably sucks)...and the people cheer for Brazil.
anyways im out
I supported Liverpool in the 80's, Manchester United in the 90's (except for one year when I was a Blackburn fan), and am wavering between Chelsea and Arsenal at the moment, can't quite make my mind up, but I should know around May. I also support Real Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona (this year anyway, I was a massive fan of Valencia lat year), and am definitely following Juventus as well. I wasn't sure a couple of months ago, but I am 100% Bayern Munich as well. Porto were my team last year, and I am still having difficulty deciding between Celtic and Rangers.
i was never into European football, but when i started watching SPL on tv knew about Barcelona first and watching young Ronaldo play in Barce back in the day 
.
i still support some teams in just leagues, i enjoy watching Chelsea in EPL , Inter Milan in Seria A but when it goes to CHampions league and SPL always BArce :P
its the only team i have feelings for and ofcourse also Deportivo Cali in Colombia. Here in Canada i dont have a soccer team to support nothing around here just hockey " The Calgary Flames"
i hope some day i could see Deportivo cali vs Barcelona

heh, yeah. That was amazing series. I nearly fell of my sofa yelling "YESSSSSSSS" when Carter hit the ring, but then it was suddenly followed by big long "SHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTT".Originally posted by pasion1
Still....i dont think that Chris BOsh can carry the whole team on his shoulders. Rose is about to leave (which is a shame)
Best raptor team was (00/01) for sure. (when we lost to 76ers in the 7th game)
