Favourite Soccer Team?

So I'm not a real fan then?Proobie44

Ha Ha. I didn't say that. I'm trying to approach this with some objectivity. In an age of globalisation, it's expected, even beneficial, that football clubs attract fans outside of their immediate locality. How else could they pay their wage bills? Football has benefited greatly from globalisation.

In the modern world we live in, the football fan (of any club remember, Man Utd is just an example) is above all else a consumer, a customer. They buy the shirts, they buy the tickets, the DVDs, the TV subscriptions, and all of the other merchandise. As such, your money is just as valid and valuable as the fan who actually lives in Manchester. Your Pound/Dollar/Euro is worth exactly the same as the fan from Manchester. Therefore, you are equal and a real fan as far as the clubs accountants are concerned.

I'm a Toronto FC fan. We've been struggling this year, but I still believe in them. :D

I support a "glory hunter" team because I like the players it has year to year, they are great to watch, play beutiful football, have ups and downs like any other team and when they dont win or eventually become mid table or even bottom or relegated then I'll still support them. In my country Football is almost non existant, I cant support a team here because there isnt one, especially when I was 6 y/o.
