Besides your own club, do you guys cheer for other clubs just cause of a specific player?

This is saying that your really a fan of the player rather than the club (like when he leaves the club, you could care less about it and suddenly find yourself a fan of the new club)

Just thought it was new to post of (instead of Clubs) players you actually follow.


For me Id have to say a few choices:

I got attached to the Mexican team: "Toluca" cause I think they have 2 of the best players ive ever seen (that could play in any league but are comfortable in Mexico: Jose Cardozo (Paraguay....THE Man).......and Vicente Sanchez (Uruguay)

But I bet once they leave I wont really care for those clubs.

Another example was Diego Forlan's run to Man U....I never really liked Man U at all but Forlan made them watchable until he left. Just hoping for him to get subbed in was enough tension for me :funny: :p

Other Favorite Players have to be: Saviola (Monaco), Chevanton (Monaco), Montero :rockman (Juventus), Pato Abondanzieri (Boca Juniors) <one of my fave goalies>, and Marcello Gallardo (one of players I grew up watching as a kid) (River Plate).

:rockman: :rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

for me ronaldo, ronaldinho, and adriano. I don't like their clubs but i like them

My favourite player is Paul Scholes, so that works out nicely:D.

Zidane and Ronaldinho, the rest can **** off.(H)

No other Stern John fans?

Stern John and Dwight Yorke (Y)

Stern and Dwight are Trinis, and Trinis suck.

Stern John is great, he was my best striker in fifa 2004
i don't understand why birmingham let him go :rolleyes:

I usually am a fan of players and therfor their teams because Im from Brasil but I want to cheer for european competitions

Im a Palmeiras fan because Im from Brasil, and R9 is my fav, I love RC and Figo therefore I cheer for Madrid.....

its a funny way to look at it, but when you realize that clubs are only businesses then it makes them less appealing. Individuals are what make up a team, but business men lead a club.

I guess its kind of reverse

1. r9=my favorite and i DO fallow madrid
2. kaka, i dont care much about milan....
3. marquez,...what can i say about barca...HATE THEM
4. adriano...already a star...future legend....as for inter...dont care about them
other fav's: casillas, baros, samuel, d'alessandro, c.ronaldo, fabregas, henry, trezeguet, aimar:rockman:

I like this players how they play.

Totti-Roma - I like Inter

Owen- Real Madrid- I go for Barcelona

I have mad respect for Pavel Nedved. I have a Nedved Juventus jersey even though I'm not a huge supporter of the club. There are a few players like that. Jon Dahl Tomasson is obviously my f'n boy, but I have no feelings one way or the other about Milan. And I also like Figo a lot, but I hate Madrid.

Ronaldinho,Ailton,Owen,Ronaldo(madrid),Eto'o,Savio la.

Kanu (H)

Arjen Robben and Nacho Novo

before he retired baggio had a massive following

everyone loved to watch him, no matter where he played

Call me romantic but I disagree.

I think the club is more important than the players it has. I think every club represents some people and therefore it's like if every club has a spirit.

Players come and go, most of them only for money, but clubs always stay.

Jari Litmanen :rockman:

I follow all Latvian players even if they play for a side i hate, for an example when Stepanovs was in EPL i went to pubs to see Arsenal play ,thankfuly he didnt play for them many times :crazyboy:

Yeah, was very enjoyble to watch Ajax at 90s when Litmanen played there and entire team was great.

Yes, of course! And, there's nothing wrong with that.
Me being Peruvian, I have to foot for teams that have Peruvian players in them. For example Bayern has two (Pizarro and Guerrero), Aston Villas has Solano, PSV has Farfan, etc... I will cheer these teams on as long as they have these players.

I agree, Jari Litmanen was the man! I followed every team he played for, especially his glorious years at Ajax. Jari will always be one of my all time favorite players.

Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Patrick Vieira (Arsenal), Scott Parker (when he was at Charlton), Drogba (Chelsea) are a few of my favourite players. 3 of them are Chelsea players, 1 Arsenal player, and I'm a Manchester United fan :(

Elber and Effenberg during their Bayern days - Effenberg's steely determination and Elber's deadly finishing skills; I enjoyed watching Bayern play back then.


Giuly - no explanation necessary.

Morientes - Won me over with his performances for Monaco.

van Hooijdonk, Hakan Sukur (again... few years ago)

Puyol - Best defender in the world in my opinion.

Maldini - Legend

Canizares, Baraja, Aimar

Giovane Elber and Andriy Shevchenko

Giovane Elber - great personality on and off the field

Fernando Morientes - great player, too bad he plays for a club that prefers bigname players

Thierry Henry - I love to watch him

True.

Ruud van Nistelrooy !!! :D since PSV!!! Best thing: he joined Man U! It was all perfect!

I'm a Beckham fan too, but I did not like him joining Real... hope he does well though, obviously

Also Litos, currently at Malaga... I don't even care if Malaga win or loose, as long as he does well, since he's a personal friend :D

i agree with you. I would only consider 1 or 2 clubs who "Sold their soul" ...Real Madrid and I dont know who else. I dont even look at Real Madrid as a Club anymore. (Real madrid magazines....comics....jerseys....cups......just all a business. Its worst....its like a cold hearted enterprize that has no idea how to run a football team....just throw money at everything. You know they Bought Beckham just to ensure full stadiums and so ppl can buy his jersey.)

Atleast Man U kept the Club "Feel" and actually is active in the community as FAns are active in the Club. The rest of the business just helps the club economically and I have no problem with that.

I love the small clubs worldwide
(especally England and Argentina) that are like 1 huge community. All build and paint the stadium....they come to the club meetings.....they help out and support their team.

But I believe that every team has to be a business....its just the way it is.....but as long as they dont screw up the sport...i wont mind.

Didier Drogba, one of the best player in Marseille ever but now he's in Chelsea...

Aki Riihilathi (H) what a legend

http://www.akiriihilahti.com/index-en.html

Zidane, don't like madrid all that much but frankly I watch their games just to see him play :)

Pete Schmeichel
Oli Kahn

Frank Lampard

Juan (Roman 8) Riquelme, Ronaldinho, Arjen Robben, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, David Trezeguet, Roy Makaay, Michael Ballack, Ze Roberto, Bastian Steinschweiger, Tomas Rosicky, Rafael Van der Vaart, Zinidine Zidane, Raúl Gonzalez Blanco, Fernando Morientes.
Thats about it!

Of course

Some of them decided what teams I support on Europe, like Chapuisat-Dortmund :p

Actually, my favourite Argentinian Striker is Figueroa, and no matter where he plays, I'll support him, same with others, but I don't like to make a list or sumthing :p

Just some players whom I admire.

Cristiano Ronaldo :(

vannistelrooy , cristiano ronaldo , totti ,beckham and shevchenko, Lampard

cristiano ronaldo....i'm an arsenal fan..
adriano/nedved....i'm a milan a.c. fan...
makaay...i'm a dortmund fan...
ronaldo/figo..i'm a barça fan(who cares, we've got ronaldinho:p)...

:rockman: all these guys rock, to bad they don't know how to choose teams ;)

Shevchenko and Buffon I'd say. Class.

i must say i like crespo very much, i have followed his career from inter, i must say i dont agree with him going to milan, but i dint care because he is a great player...

Well, as you could as assume from my sig...

I would follow Del Piero anywhere he went. He's the main reason I like Juve. :D

I like Eddie Gaven who plays in the MLS for the Metrostars, he just turned 18 in October and he's got a lot of talent, I'm hoping he plays somewhere in Europe and will follow with the club he plays at.

The Little Wizard, Juan Veron, is my all time favourite player.
i watch Inter's games coz Veron plays but i m a Manchester United die hard fan. (H)

When he played for United, thats just great...

Zenden, Robben, Hofland and Kolkka (all are ex-PSV you know)

Originally posted by PSVFOREVER
Hofland

he plays a great season btw :rockman:

Mateja Kezman, cause im a serb and wanted him to come to united. Happy to see him score today for chelsea though. Hmm... Drogba, who coincidentally is also with chelsea. Ronaldinho on barca.

Fan of

Ronaldo
Dinhno
Adriano
Angel
Davids
Seedorf
L King
Zizou

Dont care at all for thier club teams......Although I do wear jerseys from other teams only cause they look nice........I can give a Shhhh what u think........U know that Milan Jersey looks crazy nice..........

Davids, Van Der Sar, Reiziger, van der Meyde, Zlatan, Chivu...
(What do all these players have in common?)

They play(ed) in Italy

I usually like to see any team that a Greek player plays for to do well. Unless they are playing a Greek team ;)

Gotta love Maldini for the longevity and the talent. I mean, he was one of the best 5 defenders in the world for 15 years, and arguably for 20. Plus he never switched clubs even though I'm sure he could have gotten more money.

Luis Figo, Ronaldinho, Zidane.

Jorge Costa, Vitor Baia and Alan Shearer

:rolleyes:

Ok, Jorge Costa...

but Baia?

and Shearer? The last truly natural stiker (sadly, a dying specie), and a living legend? :confused:

Adriano..


That guy is awesome...:kader: :kader:
