Post by Robespierre Sat Mar 21, 2020 12:51 am

- What's your favorite club ? Inter

- In what season have you begun to support your team ? 1997-1998.

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)  Pagliuca, West, Bergomi, Colonnese, J.Zanetti, Simeone, Cauet, Winter, Djorkaeff, Zamorano, Ronaldo

- What was the first match you remember ? Inter - Fiorentina 3-2 ( Ronaldo, Serena, Batistuta, Moriero, Djorkaeff)

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. ) I'm a victim of that Ronaldomania exploded in Italy in 97 when Inter signs Ronaldo from Barcelona. Because of R9 so, I suppose. Very irrationally though

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just image..) Lazio.
I  don't care about their ultras lol ( otherwise I'd support Livorno , and even Inter ultras have an ideology opposite to me..) , but I've always felt sympathy towards that club . Curiously , it's same team who gave me the biggest disappointment as fan. The paradox of the football.


- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ? Juventus.

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc
Huge, extreme. Mood of the day after depends on Inter won or lost. That ' Fever Pitch ' movie describes me exactly.

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?
Inter who win Champions League 2010 is the peak of the joy , Scudetto lost in last matchday in 2002 (Lazio-Inter 4-2) the peak of the depression

- Have you ever cried for your team?
3 times, 2 tears of sadness. in 1999-2000  Inter got knocked out from Champions League play off against Helsinborgs ( still exsists this team? It was Swedish I suppose), in 2002 Inter lost Scudetto in last matchday. A time because of joy, after Eto'o goal against Chelsea in 2010. I've  realized we were going to win it really

- The most "hated" team for you?
It's hard fight between Juventus and Milan .  I feel Milan derby more than match against Juve but yet I think it's Juve.

- What do you think about ultras in football?
Stadiums without tifo are sad for me . I mean I like  Bundesliga atmosphere more than Premier League . Anyway the last ultras generation is inglobing the worst subjects, especially in Serie A. Ultras panorama is losing its pure touch and it's becoming exactly what they fighting in words, the modern football

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?
No,  I  don't think it's exagerrated.  Many billions turno into football, and they got paid     in proportion to those billions that turn in football. They give emoctions comparable to those given from artists, painters etc. You can't rationalise emotcions or quantify them.

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?
Very little. My NT just for Euro or WC, but not with same emotional transport than club. Anyway I've never seen an insane collective joy in a country as for WC 2006. It's great   to see your NT football winning also for this. I have to admit it.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ? Club >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NT and it's not even close tbh.

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?
Ronaldo (R9, the Brazlian) was, but then he betrayed us. At this moment it's  Stefan De Vrij , Inter defender.

- Your most hated player for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?
Nedved before . Icardi now.

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?  
I prefer stadium over tv.

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?
Pennants, kits, scarf and surely other

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?  
For me  VAR is   amazing and I shudder when I read every attempt to delegitimize it.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?
Still reclutant, even though leagues are became boring.

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague? Leagues are more and more unbalanced,  if it doesn't change situation,yes I think it 's a proper solution

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?  
I respect everything ... But honestly I don't care at all.  Changed channel whenever it was broadcasted. Also because Milan wins against Inter just in women football in these last 5 years ... :coffee:

Post by urbaNRoots Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:24 am

- What's your favorite club?
Arsenal

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?
2003/04

- What was your first lineup?
Arsenal vs Dortmund 2002/03: Seaman - Campbell - Cole - Keown - Luzhny - Ljungberg - Silva - Vieira - Bergkamp - Henry - Wiltord
- What was the first match you remember ?
Arsenal 2-0 Dortmund, CL 2002
- Why do you support this team?
It started randomly as a joke with my big brother who is a massive Dortmund fan, Arsenal played against Dortmund and beat them, then Lehmann joined Arsenal from Dortmund, Arsenal were really good, Thierry Henry was a genius footballer, my interest kept growing and eventually I found myself watching every week.

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)
Very likely Dortmund, I do kinda support them even now.

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?
Dortmund or Schalke

- How much are you passionate?
My day gets kinda ruined if Arsenal has a really bad game... although it's getting better now that Arsenal really suck.

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?
Greatest: FA Cup win vs Man Utd 2005
Worst: Champions League final loss against Barcelona

- Have you ever cried for your team?
Never, but I was close to tears when Arsenal announced the Mesut Özil signing, one of my favourite players of all time.

- The most "hated" team for you?
As I'm not a local London fan, I don't feel the same hate against Tottenham as a typical Arsenal fan should. Instead it's Chelsea for me.

- What do you think about ultras in football?
As usual, the asocial ones ruin it for everyone else.

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?
They earn too much, but it's better that they earn it instead of the club owners gaining even more.

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?
Arguably I care more about national football. I'm not a nationalist, but I really enjoy that so many people that I care about, take an interest in my hobby during these big tournaments.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?
Club, we need it more...

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?
Favourite player ever: Thierry Henry
Favourite player now: Mesut Özil

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?
Didier Drogba. The footballer, not the man.

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?
Stadium, although I've still not been able to visit the Emirates Sad

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?
I have an Arsenal coffee mug. Can't find much Arsenal merchandise where I live.

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?
Very favourable.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?
I watch the NBA and the playoffs, while incredibly exciting, makes most of the regular season there pretty redundant. But football has fewer games in a season so it wouldn't be as bad. Without giving it a real thought yet, I'd say no.

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?
I have no idea what the implications are, I mean I would enjoy watching the top teams play each other sure but what does it mean for the rest, including possibly my team?

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?
I have never seen a full match yet but it's a good thing that women's football is getting more coverage than ever.

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?
All time: Arsene Wenger
At the moment: Jürgen Klopp

What's your favorite goal?

Post by Valkyrja Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:37 am

- What's your favorite club ?
Real Madrid

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?
Aftele R9’s transfer, 02-03. Was 7 at the time, hyped like hell after my first World Cup

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)
Heck, I think Casillas Salgado Hierro Helguera Carlos Makelele Conceicao Zidane Figo Raul Ronaldo

- What was the first match you remember ?
Ronaldo’s debut, vs Alaves, 5-1 i think it ended. He came in the 2nd half and scored quickly

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )
Because of R9 and my best friend who had his #11 shirt

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)
AC Milan, it’s actually my second team, because Kaka

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?
Steaua Bucharest, unfortunately

- How much are you passionate ? Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc
It depends. If we have a great team and lose, I get very sad. Over the last 2 seasons I managed to distance myself a bit because I do not believe that much in the team’s capabilities to win important trophies

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?
La Decima and the elimination against Lyon in 09-10. Had high hopes for that season, with all the transfers, but we sere brought to reality quickly. I remember I nearly cried that night. Also the penalties against Bayern in 2012. We were the best team in the world that season.

- Have you ever cried for your team?
A few times

- The most "hated" team for you?
After Barca, Bayern.

- What do you think about ultras in football?
I am with them. Teams need these kind of fans, for their passion and loyalty. You don’t see regular fans defend their team, city and history like these men.

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?
Too much but as McLewis said, the market is as it is, and some playere are cash cows for their clubs in every sense of the word

- Do you care about National Teams/ How much is important Your National Team for you?
Not that much, we are shat. I usually cheer for Brazil.

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?
R9, always. At the moment, and for the past 10 years, Marcelo

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?
Lots, i’ll probably followup on this later Laughing

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?
Lots: kits, scarfs, bottles,cups, posters, and a miniature Raul from 05/06, which is always with me when we have a big game Laughing

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?
‘Only thieves do not like security cameras’

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?
No

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?
No

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?
Football is for men

Post by Jay29 Sat Mar 21, 2020 11:07 am

- What's your favorite club ?

For simplicity, I'll say Arsenal.

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?

My earliest memory was the 2001/02 title win at Old Trafford, so I probably started supporting them properly in 02/03.

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)

Lehmann - Lauren, Campbell, Toure, Cole - Ljungberg, Vieira, Gilberto, Pires - Bergkamp, Henry

- What was the first match you remember ?

The 2001 FA Cup final. I remember nothing of the match, but everything about the sheer disappointment in the room when Michael Owen scored those two goals.

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )

Dad's influence. Arsenal were on the TV constantly and if I wanted to spend time with him and my brother, I had to watch.

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)

I had a weird infatuation for Blackburn Rovers when they won the Worthington Cup (now the Carabao Cup), so maybe them. I also liked Rangers a lot.

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?

West Ham, by a distance. I live in Essex, which borders London's East side. I studied at the University of East London and had to travel through West Ham on my way in, so you can imagine how many Hammers that were around.

Even as a kid, West Ham coaches used to put on sessions at my school. They've even got a club store in my local town centre (the only club store around here, to put that in perspective).

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc

90% of the time I'm quiet when watching games. Never been one for screaming and jumping around, unless it's a really high stakes or emotional game. Defeats bother me for a while but I usually sleep them off.

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?

Easy answer would be the Invincibles, but it was actually the 2014 FA Cup win. 10 years without a trophy, years of near misses and crippling failures (what we Arsenal fans call the Banter Era - though you could argue we're still in it Laughing) and going 2-0 down inside the opening 10 minutes of the game to a poor Hull team... to turn that around and win 3-2 was massive for the club.

Biggest disappointment: 2006 Champions League final or the 2019 Europa League final.

- Have you ever cried for your team?

The 2007 Carling Cup final, when a very young Arsenal team got Drogba'd.

- The most "hated" team for you?

Stoke and Burnley.

- What do you think about ultras in football?

A double-edged sword. The noise and colour they bring to games is fantastic and they can communicate good political messages, but turning up at training grounds when their team isn't performing, abusing players they dislike during games, and all the violence associated with them are significant drawbacks.

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?

At the top level, they rightfully earn a lot. These guys are entertainers who draw massive audiences and should be rewarded accordingly.

At youth level, though, it's a massive problem. Players without a single first team appearance to their name can now earn £20,000 p/w as standard. It kills their hunger to improve.

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?

Yes, even when there're no Arsenal players in the squad. Club football is more important to me though.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?

Club.

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?

Favourite player ever: Jose Antonio Reyes. Favourite player now: Gabriel Martinelli.

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?

Ruud van Nistelrooy or Didier Drogba. Right now: Harry Kane, I guess. Honourable mention to Ashley Barnes.

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?

TV. Stadiums are honestly uncomfortable, and the Emirates crowd is awful.

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?

None.

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?

Favourable, but the rules need tweaking to account for it.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?

Play-offs can be fun but unfair. Don't know what can be done about it though.

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?

The European Superleague can go fuck itself.

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?

I try to, but between it and, say, a random men's game in another country, I tend to watch the men's game.

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?

All time: Arsene Wenger. Right now: Julian Nagelsmann.

What's your favorite goal?





Who's your favorite commentator?

Peter Drury.

Post by RealGunner Mon Mar 23, 2020 6:59 pm

- What's your favorite club ?

The Arsenal

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?

I have faint memories of Arsenal from 99-02 season. I remember batistuta's goal. Owen's goals (all bad memories ffs). But I think 03/04 is the season i remember the best.

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)

Lehmann - Lauren, Campbell, Toure, Cole - Ljungberg, Vieira, Gilberto, Pires - Bergkamp, Henry

- What was the first match you remember ?

It's actually France Vs Brazil 1998 final. I remember Zidane and i remember falling in love with Football.

But with Arsenal it's Arsenal Vs Liverpool in 2001 FA cup final. Same as Jay. One of the most one sided games and tears for us in the end

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )

Because of my dad and 2nd dad Arsene Wenger. I remember always being fascinated by him. incredible charisma. Also thought he made Arsenal (because Arsene and Arsenal).

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)

West Ham because i grew up in east london and also played there when i was 5-8yo Laughing

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?

Manchester United and Liverpool.

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc

Used to be incredibly passionate. Family knew not to talk to me if Arsenal lost lmao. They would schedule trips etc around matches or else i would sulk the entire time. Weekends were ruined if Arsenal lost. Most of that is gone now. I am still passionate if we score or arsenal losing still ruins my mood but now i don't care as much. Maybe just grew up.

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?

Invincible season would be the default answer but like Jay said, FA Cup win after 10 years with no trophy was unbelievable. Worst disappointment CL 2006 and CL 2004. Both years we should have won the trophy.

- Have you ever cried for your team?

Not really. Close but not.

- The most "hated" team for you?

Stoke

- What do you think about ultras in football?

All fans are equal. Ultras are not special. Don't understand the ultras culture.

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?

They earn the right amount because of what they do and what they bring. football is bigger than anything.

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?

Yea but not as much as Arsenal.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?

Club easily. Winning the CL with Arsenal>>>England winning the WC

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?

Ever? Between Zidane and Henry.

Current? Bakayo Saka

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?

Ever? Ryan Shawcross, Dan Taylor or Patrice Evra.

Now? Harry kane

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?

TV

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?

Arsenal Mug, shirts, matchday programmes and other kit related items but from decade ago

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?

No VAR.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?

nope unless absolutely no choice

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?

Absolutely not. Premier league is better than any european superleague

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?

I do to an extent. It does make me happy when Arsenal ladies win their matches and i'd even watch some games or highlights but i won't follow them religiously. They are part of Arsenal.

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?
All time: Arsene Wenger
At the moment:Nuno Espírito Santo

The ultimate football quiz / poll Empty Re: The ultimate football quiz / poll

Post by El Gunner Tue Mar 24, 2020 12:55 pm

- What's your favorite club ?

The Arsenal

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?

2002-03

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)

Shaaban -- Luzhny, Keown, Cygan, Cole -- Gilberto, Vieira, Pires, Ljungburg -- Wiltord, Henry

- What was the first match you remember ?

Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )

my grandad and his friend were hyping up the above mentioned game the whole day, his friend supported Man Utd and he Arsenal, I decided to go watch the match with them and naturally supported who my grandad was supporting and the rest was history. Similar to RG after i got to know more about the players and coaches, i also thought Arsene started Arsenal FC Laughing

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)

Nish, Sepp and Unique will love this Laughing ... Liverpool probably, because they were the first other club outside of Arsenal i had a faint liking for at that time. Or maybe Real Madrid because i also liked them and their players around the time i started watching footy

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?

Manchester United (but most of them are/were bandwagoners because of the club's 90s & 00s success)

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc
yooooo my passion peaked from 2005 to 2012. Arsenal and football were the loves of my life growing up, i had two scrap picture books where i pasted photos of players i loved and important matches with captions - one for Arsenal and one for football in general. There was even a time i used to listen to some Arsenal mp3 songs before every game. I cheered on the goals, and i felt like absolute shit for the entire weekend when we lost. CL 06 Paris really hurt me, and losing the league cup in 2011 vs Birmingham destroyed me because i started thinking we would never win a title again. I started realising i shouldn't let Arsenal affect me so much when we started losing by 8-2, 6-1, 6-0, 5-1 scorelines to Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and City because that's how Arsenal rewards, to be mocked by scorelines like that

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?

My fandomship still wasn't as huge during the Invincibles season and frankly i can't remember as much from back then. So yea definitely ending the drought by winning the FA Cup, i was really happy that day, i even made a little juju ceremony the night before the Cup Final day, and the way we actually ended up winning that day, the dramatics, i take all responsibility for that victory.
As I said, Paris 06 and losing to Birmingham in League Cup final 2011, and also those huge scoreline losses to other big teams and losing to shit like Bradford and Nottingham Forest in the cup competitions

- Have you ever cried for your team?

Yea. CL 06 Paris and Birmingham LC final 2011

- The most "hated" team for you?

Manchester United

- What do you think about ultras in football?

no opinion, don't really care as it doesn't affect me personally

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?

wayyyy too much, but probably justified because of the marketing and prestige that is put behind the sport

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?

not really, i only watch the Euros and World Cups and before every tournament i decide which i team i want to support. I watch the odd AFCON final as well.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?

Club obviously.

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?

Ever? Robert Pires, first player i fell in love with also because my grandad also loved him.
Currently? Gabriel Martinelli

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?

Ever? William Gallas, Adebayor, van Persie
Now? not too invested to have one really. Maybe Xhaka

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?

TV

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?

My Arsenal picture book is still lying around somewhere, stopped updating it a long time ago though lol. Arsenal shirt, scarf

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?

VAR, but with better on-field rules. It's been great for offsides mostly, so many times Manchester United have fucked Arsenal over the years due to onfield decisions and VAR could have saved us.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?

Absolutely no, knockouts are for cup competitions

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?

Absolutely no.

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?

I think it's great, may it forever grow. Although i don't watch as much.

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?

All time: Arsene Wenger
At the moment: none

What's your favorite goal?




i enjoyed peak Torres so much, he made every goal look effortless, and this was his most effortless one

The ultimate football quiz / poll Empty Re: The ultimate football quiz / poll

Post by Warrior Tue Mar 24, 2020 3:16 pm

- What's your favorite club ?
Juve

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?
Around 2011

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)
Can't remember precisely. Legends like Krasic, Grygera, Felipe Melo were still there.

- What was the first match you remember ?
Either Belgium vs Brazil or Italy vs Croatia during world cup 2002. I remember watching both of these matches and the final.

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )
Juve was my favorite top club since world cup 2006 because it's around this time i grew interest for football. Italy world champions, Buffon was my favorite player because i like keepers, Nedved, Del Piero etc. That said, Juve was not relevant on the european scene and i was just following every league in the world. So it was a passive support, just a hipster preference if anything. Absurdly, over time i became a close follower of Serie A in particular because of long careers in Fifa/FM. I always took Juve for its looks, it was the cool club really. Then i fully jumped on the bandwagon as the club rise to success again, even slightly before.
Since then Serie A is the main championship i follow.
Why i remain Juve fan for a decade ? Probably because we keep having success, also because the principles of the club are a perfect match with mine. It's simply a great club to be fan of tbh.

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)
No idea. I like to analyze defense, either a Serie A side or Atlético, i suppose.


- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?
The local club, Impact, is a mid table club in MLS. There's a lot of italians in town, so lots of Juve/Milan/Inter fans too.

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc
I am invested emotionally as in everything i take time for, can't help it.
As a foreigner who "picked" this club out of every other, i think i've done my homeworks, knowing the history of the club and the league. I have no merit for it, as Juve become MY club i had curiosities to satisfy.

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?
Joy: the overall feeling of the 2015-2016 season
Disappointment: losing 2 CL finals, i think the first one hurt the most

- Have you ever cried for your team?
No

- The most "hated" team for you?
I don't HATE anyone in particular, that said i dislike the current era of PSG. Napoli SSC is a bunch of idiots. The rivalry with Milan/Inter is mostly internet banter for me.

- What do you think about ultras in football?
They are integral part of how i perceive football

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?
I don't really care about that
But obviously it's crazy how much money in involved in the game nowadays

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?
My national team Canada is dog shite, we lose games against Belize and St Kitts. We play in Concacaf where only 4-5 teams are competitive and we are not among them.
So instead i have big interest in World Cup/Euros and i used to watch friendly games by top national teams. That's how i discover football in fact. I like Netherlands and Italy but i am mostly neutral.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?
Club

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?
Can't choose only one. Messi-Ronaldinho-Gerrard-Chiellini-Buffon is my top 5.
At this moment i'd say Dybala or CR7

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?
Neymar and Dries Mertens, two little cunts

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?
TV but i have no choice lol

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?
I have jerseys

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?
I dislike VAR, it's a waste of time and an insult to our intelligence as viewers

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?
No

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?
Absolutely not

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?
I don't have interest for it

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?
All time would be Sir Alex Ferguson
At the moment, meh, i'd go with Max

What's your favorite goal?
Gerrard's long shot against West Ham

- What's your favorite club ?
Juve

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?
Around 1999-2000

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)
Something like Van der Sar, Ferrara, Montero, Iuliano, Zambrota, Conte, Davids, Zidane, Del Piero, Inzaghi

- What was the first match you remember ?
Before a Juve fan I was a fan of Italy. As a child I know I watched WC 94 and EC 96 because of my family, but the first real memories are WC98. Italy-Cameroon is the first one that comes to mind.
Pagliuca, Maldini, Cannavaro, Costacurta, Nesta, Baggio, Vieri, etc. made me fall in love with football.

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )

Obviously Italy due to family, same with Juve. My family are Juve fans and so I was.

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)
Probably Roma because of Totti, one of my all time favorite players.

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?
Anderlecht

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc
Huge fan

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?
Joy: winning the first scudetto with Conte
Disappointment: losing the cardiff final
More intense emotions regarding football for me are winning the 2006 world cup, and the worst memory is the 2000 eurocup final lost by golden goal

- Have you ever cried for your team?
No

- The most "hated" team for you?
It rotates between Inter, Madrid and Barca.

- What do you think about ultras in football?
Great in theory but the criminal POS with ties to the mafie and chanting racism need to get dealt with

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?
Too much

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?
Like said above, Italy was how I became a football fan in 98. The worst memory as the final in 2000 and the happiest one winning 2006. World cups are a religious time basically.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?
NT

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?
Favorite ever is Buffon. At this moment it should be Marchisio but he just retired, so Chiellini followed by Dybala.

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?
Fat Ronaldo ever, Sergio Ramos at the moment.

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?
TV for watching the match itself, the stadium is a different experience.

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?
I have jerseys, flags, etc.

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?
VAR

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?
No

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?
No, I love Serie A, but sadly I think it might have to be the solution. For as long as possible I'll say no.

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?
I don't have interest for it

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?
All time would be Lippi
At the moment it's Allegri

Sorry Robes, i have lost all interest in football given the world and Liverpool circumstances. I'll still give this a go.

What's your favorite club ?

Loserfool FC

- In what season have you begun to support your team ?

2003-2004

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)

I won't google so I remember Danny Murphy, Carragher, Hyypia, Gerrard, Owen

- What was the first match you remember ?

United 0-1 Liverpool or maybe Liverpool played at home

I think it was a Mancester United match, only those games were shown on TV in India that time

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )


Because of TV, I probably did know everyone was watching United and the country was filled with advertisements from one team, so United was always in the back of my mind.

I just fell in love with them beating United even though United was a huge bag of dicks that entire game.

Watching western teams is basically a cry out for help by Asian football fans who love thier country to bits but cannot stand professional players and the sport being disrespected in this way.

Probably similar to how people still follow Instagram models even after being in a long term relationship with their girlfriends Razz

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)

95% Manchester United. 5% converted to Arsenal within a month of watching United.

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?

Well going back to India - Manchester United
Current city - Lille FC
Paris - PSG
Singapore - Arsenal lol

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc

Very timid and isolated unless provoked. Pessimistic since 2009.

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?

Oh man. Greatest joy is Istanbul, It converted me solely into Football from Cricket at a young age. That game changed the definition of Sports for me.

Worst disappointment would probably be any year from 2009-2019

- Have you ever cried for your team?

Yes 3 times. Istanbul, Coutinho vs Man City 2014, CL final against Spurs. Verge of tears against Madrid.

- The most "hated" team for you?

Probably Man City. I hate the Asian United fans but I can't blame them.

- What do you think about ultras in football?

Great until they are racist.

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?

Its fine tbh

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?

India forever. #INDIA4WC2034 was oncourse to win both the GL classic and H2H in fantasy this year. Smh

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?

Since they are mutually exclusive, both. If had to choose with Liverpool playing against India then India.

- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?

Favorite: Gerrard
Current: Firmino / VVD / Trent can't choose

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?

Lovren

- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?

TV, I only ever been to Anfield once and I didn't get the best seats Razz

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?

I have a football, L4 Anfield sign, 2000 photos from Anfield, a couple of official t-shirts, some key chains, original season review, season membership card, anfield ticket to enter the stadium, official wallet. There is also a place inside Anfield where I have written my name.

The ultimate football quiz / poll Untitl10

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?

Favorable if introduced properly with minimum time required to solve an issue, includes laws of football to be re-written with universal acceptance.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?

Doesn't make sense for the top leagues to do this. Fine with the lower divisions having this.

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?

Not at all

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?

I've always followed Women's football consistently at the international stage. Asllani is my favorite player.

What's your favorite club ?

Inter

2000/01

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)

Frey Zanetti Blanc Cordoba Simic Farinos Di Biagio Seedorf Recoba Vieri Ronaldo

- What was the first match you remember ?

I know I've been watching since before but the earliest match I can actually remember was the famous 4-2 loss from Lazio in 01/02

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )

Winning Eleven 2000, started playing the game, selected Inter and fell in love forever

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)

Probably Milan, I really liked them back in the 2000's

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?

Same as anywhere really

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc

Used to be mad about it, now I'm cold. Just grew up really

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?.

The 2009/10 season obviously and getting to watch Recoba, Vieri, Ronaldo, Adriano... Sale of Ronaldo and 2002 loss to Lazio. Adriano returning but to Roma.

- Have you ever cried for your team?

No, not the type

- The most "hated" team for you?

Used to be City, but all of football is business so I don't care anymore

- What do you think about ultras in football?

Would kick them out of football. Most of them don't know shit about football and are criminals outside the stadium. They disgust me.

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?

Absolutely ridiculous, and undeserved as most athletes. They should be just normal people, and football as a whole would change for the better because of it.

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?

Don't care that much. Will still support though. Don't like how you can play for any country now, it lost it's essence.

Same

Adriano, now I like Marcelo and Kroos

TV, 100%.

None. I gave away my jerseys.

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?

VAR, definitely. VAR is not the problem, it is the rules that are badly imagined, like the offside rule.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?

NO. Completely wrong.

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?

NO. We have CL and EL, which is just fine.

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?

Don't care the slightest. I love women, but when I watch football I want to watch quality football played by supreme athletes, and they can provide neither.

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?
All time: Jose Mourinho
At the moment: Jose Mourinho

What's your favorite goal?

Anything Recoba scored was gold. He didn't score them ordinary. Particularly liked Roma Laughing

It must have developed starting around 1988. Memories of that time are very vague and blurry.

- Why do you support this team ? ( I mean because of your father, because of a player, because of your friends or other.. )

I assume it is because of a neighbourhood friend, and because of peer pressure in my youth football club, and then also because of my cousin.
When I was 7, I joined a football club in a near borough, and most kids in the team were Bayern fans.
More importantly, I would always play, on the street and on a nearby pitch, with an older neighbour kid who played as a striker in that same club and who basically taught me and practised with me, and he was an ardent Bayern fan.
My brother is a huge Bayern fan too, but interestingly that's not something we shared too much when I was a kid - he's six years older and was playing top level Basketball in his youth (our town's basketball club was very good back then) and bonding over football wasn't something we did until much later; I don't remember his Bayern fandom as being very pronounced when we were kids.
But one of my cousins is a Bayern fan too, he also played football, and we'd often spend holidays with our families together, and that surely hardened my Bayern affinity as well. I remember we threw a hissy fit once when our day trip on a holiday Saturday took us so long we missed the chance to watch the Sportschau in the hotel.
My parents are not native to the area where I grew up (northern Bavaria), they're both from the far west of Germany, and so the Bayern connection isn't actually there in my family on the level of the parent generation.
My dad is rather anti-Bayern.. if it was up to him, I'd be a Kaiserslautern fan lol.

- What was your first lineup? ( How much it's passed for everyone..)

I'm not sure about the full lineup, but the team had Auge (Augenthaler), Wiggerl Kögl, Hansi Pflügler and Roland Wohlfahrt in it. And also a certain Hansi Flick Proud
Coach back then was a certain J. Heynckes, whatever became of him.

Then, I do remember Bayern bought two foreign strikers, Radmilo Mihailovic and Alan McInally, for the new season, and they became my favourite players as I simply LOVED saying their names out loud.
Their names also were parodied in the press into Mihailo-nix and McI-nully as they didn't turn out too prolific, but I found their real names much funnier.

There also was one player, Armin Eck, who moved from my hometown lower division club (then at its all time peak in 2nd BuLi) to Bayern in that time so that was another source of pride. He didn't feature much though.

- What was the first match you remember ?


So what you millenials have to realize is that back then, one rarely got to see full matches.
There was no internet, no streaming, the main venue to consume football was the Saturday night Sportschau (like Match Of The Day), so you'd see 6-7 minute long clips of the games.
I don't remember seeing any European competition games at all back then; we had no pay TV, we didn't even have 'Privatfernsehen' (private enterprise TV stations for which you'd need cable, or satellite), we only had the 3 public broadcasting channels (2 nationwide channels and one from the state).
In fact, my dad only got us a TV for the 1986 World Cup, and that's probably when my first contact with football happened. I don't really remember watching any particular match from that tournament though.

I do very well remember my first full Bayern game however. My local football club chartered a bus and drove the U8, U10, U12 teams to München in 1989.
There we watched the mighty FC Bayern thrash a hopeless Bochum team 5-1 in the old Olympiastadion (well mostly I watched the scoreboard as we were much to far away and high up to see anything meaningful on the pitch).
And guess who scored a brace? Alan McInally Proud

Another game I do remember is the Germany-Serbia game in the 1990 WC group, when Lothar Matthäus made that run and smashed the ball in goal. Amazing.

Spoiler:

- If not your team, who'd have supported ? ( I know it's irrational, but just imagine..)

So if I was more of a local patriot, I guess I would not be a Bayern fan but a Club fan. The Club, that's the 1. FC Nürnberg.
My hometown and  surrounding doesn't have a 1st division club, and the nearest one is the Club. Also, where I'm from people decidedly do not consider themselves Bavarians 'ethnically', though the area is part of Bavaria. Still, there's a lot of Bayern support in the area.
At some point as a kid, I developed some sympathy for Fortuna Düsseldorf, strangely, because I was a fan of their coach Aleksandar Ristić. Apparently I had a thing for Yugoslavian names back then.

Later, as a grungy teen, I flirted with the idea of supporting a cooler, and more politically avant-garde, club in SC Freiburg, but it really never happened for me. I was stuck with Bayern, back then the uncoolest thing you could possibly do, be a Bayern fan.

- Which team is the most popular in the place where you live ?


As I wrote, where I grew up, the 1.FC Nürnberg is equally popular as the FC Bayern.
I've since been living in Berlin for a long time, so here we have the Hertha, but "popular" isn't the word that comes to mind. It's more like a scourge Laughing
Berlin support is basically split between Hertha (west) and Union (east), with the part colorful, part white-supremacist support of BFC Dynamo thrown in (the team the East German state security service chief Mielke was an ardent fan of and which, magically, would dominate the East German league on that basis.) But at the same time, many Berliners are Dortmund fans (so many), and quite some are Bayern fans too. Then, you have a lot of wannabe cool, yet basically glory-hunting, students in this city, which means Werder Bremen was very en vogue in the 2000s, lots of bars showing Werder games, then of course they all became Kloppmund fans around 2010..

- How much are you passionate ?  Cold, tiepid, good but not excessive, huge fan and victories/loss conditionate my mood the day after etc

I am passionate, alright, and it shows on match days and in the effect games have on my mood. I've gotten unbelievably nervous on occasion, in CL knockouts, and losses darken my mood and my outlook on life significantly.
It should make no sense either way, as it shouldn't be affecting the fundamentals of my life, but you can't imagine what a good mood and positive feeling I have the day after, say, a 7-2 win in London Laughing

- The greatest joy given from your club and the worst disappointment ?

Greatest joy: I guess two Robben goals, one in 2013, and one, maybe even more unbelievable, at Old Trafford in 2010... then Roy Makaay scoring after 10 seconds vs Real, and Luca Toni scoring 2 goals late in ET against Getafe
Worst disappointment Chelsea 2012, even worse than 1999 for me. Third in line, in my feeling, is losing (being robbed in) the semis against Real 2018.

- Have you ever cried for your team?


I'm pretty sure I haven't.

- The most "hated" team for you?


VfB Stuttgart, followed by Schalke

- What do you think about ultras in football?


There's no football without ultras, they are what football is about both in the good and in the bad, and their atmosphere creation is essential to my TV experience :coffee:

- What do you think about footballers' salaries ? Do they earn too much or it's right?

Of all the many people who earn obscenely too much money, I'm the least bothered about footballers

- Do you care about National Teams/ How  much is important Your National Team for you?

I'm generally anti the German NT and all that surrounds it, for complicated, Germany-specific, inherited and deep-seated political reasons, convictions and persuasions. It is not important to me, or rather it's not important that it wins.
I did grow fond of it when it became more immigrant-friendly and thereby also better in quality, Özil, Boateng, and when it was congruous with Jupp's Bayern. I did celebrate the 2014 WC win. But I've grown apart again, and now with Müller, Boateng, Özil, Hummels kicked out I want to see it suffer.
I hate Bierhoff, I hate Löw, I hate whoever is heading the DFB.

- Do you prefer your National Team to win or your  Club to win ?


Definitively, 100% my club


- Your favorite player ever? / Your favorite player at this moment?


1980s/90s Klaus Augenthaler and Lothar, 2000s Roy Makaay and Ronaldinho, 2010s Jerome Boateng and Alaba, now Müller and Phonzie

- Your most hated played for you ever ? Your most hated player at this moment?


Pippo.

At this moment: Pique.


- Do you prefer to watch matches at stadium or tv ?


I do prefer watching on the TV, and important games in the pub.
I'm not naturally inclined to be loud and rowdy in large groups of men, I don't really get off on that, I want to see replays, and the Olympiastadion in Berlin is a terrible place to watch football too.

I do go there now and then, preferably when Bayern come to town, I've been to the Alte Försterei (Union stadium) a few times which is a far better experience but nothing too special either, and I do like to go to a local 4th division team occasionally, where there are just a couple hundred fans and where the ground is nearby my place. Not to mention tickets are cheap.
But my proper football-watching place is in front of a screen.

- How many gadgets of your team do you have?

I've got a 1997/98 Mario Basler shirt, which is a bit tight now, and I drink from a FCB cup every morning, which a mate once had me sent as a somewhat lazy and I assume semi-ironic birthday gift  

- VAR or not VAR ? Are you favourable on it?

I am pro VAR, no question. I am not happy with its current implemetation in Bundesliga or in PL though.

- Are you favourable to Play Off introduction for football leagues?

Nope

- Are you favourable to create an European Superleague?

Nope

- What do you think about Women's football ? I mean, do you care about it?

I am sympathetic towards it, but I don't really care about it.
I'm not invested and it often seems a bit too low intensity, and low stakes, to me to watch it without being invested.
I also strongly do NOT feel that I need to bring myself to care for it out of reasons of equal rights. I spend a huge part of my life on men's football already, I have to draw a line somewhere.
Doesn't mean that I might not start watching it, and that I might not love it, at some point. At the moment I don't really care.

Who's your favorite coach of.....All time? At the moment?

Hmm. Impossible to decide between Jupp and Ottmar

What's your favorite goal?
