          where are you from? where do you have ties? people (such as imran ) can support teams from cities where they have no connection, but to really be a fan, you need some sort of connection.

              What the hell does the "Real" have to do with anything?

                It's trying to ape off of the Spanish practice of bestowing "Real" to all squads blessed by the King.

                  That's what I meant, I know about Real Madrid, for instance.

                  Guess I should asked about that instead.

                  ACK!

                      First: start calling it football!!

                      Second: call it football

                      Third: don't call it soccer

                      Don't support Chelsea or Arsenal, go for a minor team, like say, Liverpool.

                      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                              Relatives and obscure connections are always good. I support Liverpool thanks to a bug in FIFA 97 where the commentator screamed out "McManaman!" every game---even when Liverpool wasn't playing. Clearly it was an omen from the gods.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier
