Do you also support your local club?

[Nyall]

My local team is Toronto FC.


I have never watched a game on TV or in person (almost did when Julione was here.) I only just barely consider them a football club. Gioivinco is a still a bitch and won't watch them until he leaves, just out of principle. I don't care if he's the best player in club history.

Fuck Juve!

 

[Stefan]

No couldn't care less about the local clubs. It's always been Inter and will always be.

 

[ChillBro]

Chicago fire! Let's go schweini!

I'm glad your negativity is consistent.

Feyenoord Rotterdam here. Went to the derby Feyenoord - Ajax. Very different in consideration with Inter - Milan haha. Feyenoord ended up with the title last season. I do support them, but I am a Inter supporter for life.

so do you support inter or feyenoord back then at 2000's UEFA Cup?

 

[Soul]

Yup...I support Levski Sofia. Funny thing is I became fan of Levski and Inter the same year...when I was 7 years old 22 years now they have been a huge part of my life...to say the least. At the moment the situation is very similar in both teams...rebuilding and after misery the past few years things are starting to look up. So there are many things for me to be excited about this season.

rather than my local club, i follow the local clubs of the cities i've visited and which i liked the most. among which, the heart of midlothian, it pleases me when they win, although i can't certainly say that i "support" them or anything close to that. i would like to see them win the scottish league but over there it's a bit like la liga and even worse since when rangers had financial troubles.

i thought about them today because salvatori, former italian player of the hearts, died today at the age of 49, still unknown (i mean to the media) the causes

 

[America]

Yea I do, but MLS clubs are hardly clubs. Just a product placed in cities based on market value, nothing compared to clubs from around the world. Most clubs around the world are founded for the necessity of representation, for the purpose of entertainment or for community. MLS clubs don't attempt any of that.

I do like my club though, mostly because it's easy to watch their games and I hope I'm alive when MLS becomes more like international leagues and embraces grassroot/independent ownership rather than billionaire board members from god-knows-where.

 

[Bluenine]

Now my "local" club is West Ham. I would rather kill myself.

 

[firmino]

the park is amazing though.

 

[Rasha]

I dont give a flying fuck about serbian football cuz its like watching kids playing on a street

 

[America]

From the outside, Serbian football seems like a highly passionate affair. Would love to watch a game, live, some day.

Hoping, somewhere down the line, that it changes and soccer teams become a pillar of hometown pride the way European/South American football clubs do.
I hope that all clubs get to remain in their current cities even after a century, and don't have to endure Oakland-Raiders-type relocations

I've already seen some decent passion coming from SJ Earthquakes fans

Columbus are nearing a move to Austin, as well. Likely gonna happen.

The problem with the ownership model in MLS/America is that it invests way too much power in a single person. The owner can extort anything they want from their city and if they don't get it, they leave.

I dont even dare to mention how shitty indonesia football, let alone my local hometown club

somehow, this reminds me of a scene from the simpsons:

At least it's not Santa Venera Lightnings.

So what's the normal procedure when a team moves? Do the fans move as well or do they wait for someone to fill the void? It's all so foreign.

I didn't know there's a team in Brazil with that name.

Don't blow my cover, I've managed to fool FIF that I'm from a great footballing nation. .
