*Glory, Glory Man United*

Which explains your rant...

Exactly.

Just curious, would you support Argentina against Mexico or USA? I would find that strange, even if it is pretty common here to have a second favorite national team in addition to your own. Semi-OT, what is your take on Maradona?

Dunno much about the Argentinian league no, but always wanted to see a derby between River Plate and Boca Juniors. Superclasico. Some day before I die, I hope. I'd probably root for Boca btw, but that is Diego's fault.

But yeah, rooting for Man Utd, AC Milan and Real Madrid seem a bit strange from my POV, but everyone can be a fan by their own terms, I guess. It's not like most of us only cheer for one boxer either.

And unlike Lyle you do seem to know your football

I've been rooting for Argentina since I can remember since the 80's when I was just a little kid. Always have and always will.

The thing to understand here is that I've always been like this...

Mikkel do me a favor...
Go to the search feature here in the hidden board and type Man United or Manchester Untied and see the results.
Or type footy or soccer and see the results.
Type Argentina, Messi or Batistuta and see the results.

Sometimes I think I'm more of a fan then some ENGLISH people here.
Check the EUFA cup threads at times it was just me posting to myself for a day or two.

About Argentina, I've always been a fan. While my family rooted for Mexico as I kid I didn't like the team and didn't like their style.
I'll never forget Goicochea (GK) for Argentina and Batistuta who were my idols as a little kid.

As for my alltime players it's like boxing for me. 1,2 and 3 can be put in anyway and I don't think there's a wrong or right.
In no particular order, Maradona, Ronaldo & Pele.
Of the 3, I think Ronaldo is the more well rounded player.
Maradona is the brain.
While Pele was just a sharp shooter who was keen on scoring.

As I've stated in plenty of threads. Religously I follow EPL, FMF & LFP.
Followed by Calcio. The rest of the leagues I don't follow religiously but I do have teams I support.

I'm really hoping you don't mean Cristiano Ronaldo?!

Hey Mick, don't take the criticism personally. Man Utd fans are generally disliked by all other fans anyway!

Granted it is very unusual for anyone to have more than one team, especially here in the UK. But you're from the US so guess things are different for you...

As for River Plate - I've atually seen them live! Amazingly against Boca in Buenos Aires a couple years back. The game was at Boca though so I ended up with all the Boca fans and supporting Boca!

The game ended 1 -1, pretty rubbish game in all honesty but the atmosphere was something else. I must admit it would have been a pretty scary experience if it wasn't for all that Quilmes I drank, us Gringos certainly weren't that welcome.

Oh yeah, the area of Boca is an absolute shithole!!

I don't think he's in my top 50...

Ronaldo de Lima.

United up 1-0 at the half...


Here we come Liverpool...
