Gunnersaurus Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Are their international teams that you like apart from your own? Unlike a lot of English football fans I do like the other British teams and like them to do well. Croatia are a team I've always liked. I remember them doing well in 1998 which was my first international tournament. I like Iceland because they are massive over achievers. This is a bit of a strange one as I don't like them in other sports but I like to see Australia qualify for the world cup. We don't have a rivalry with Australia at football so I like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Brazil because of their pedigree Netherlands because of their kit Portugal because first international tournament I clearly remember is Euro 2004 Algeria because I respect their independence struggle Japan because of their disciplined fans at WC Senegal because of Mane and generally they are a decent team that play with intent Scotland because I like the Scottish Highlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Cameroon: because Italia 90 as explained more recently by Ian Wright fizzy pop TV advert. Romania: because Gheorghe Hagi & it's seemed sad how far they have declined. It does make me feel happy the more of Ireland's, Wales & Scotland make it to tournaments. I do have a respect & appreciation for nations like Brazil, Argentina, Italy & Germany. I can't think of a nation I actively dislike. I guess I do tend towards seeing a funny side to it whenever a big nation does badly. Especially the European ones, like Italy & Germany. Despite the respect mentioned above. I guess because it still feels to me that it they are off it, doors open for many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Other than Australia, I would go for England in a major tournament (like just recently). Apart from that, no one really. I respect the likes of Japan etc, but couldn't support a country where I have no real link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 None. I don't know why but I just can't seem to get any interest in International football. Might stem from a long history of Scotland being absolute dog shit but I barely even watch any other games. The final is the only full game I watched this Euros.

Administrator Stan Posted July 17 Administrator Share Posted July 17 Brazil as they were the team to watch when growing up. Lots of flair and success - Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Carlos, Cafu, Juninho. Then the likes of Kaka & Adriano (thanks to PES as well) in 2006 to add. There was so much to like.
