Even teams such as Barca (clubs with an obvious socialist or left-leaning "philosophy") have complex and convoluted histories, despite what the more strident propagandists would like you to believe. Barca's politics and socially-minded outlook are without a doubt a big attraction for me, but it's 100% about the football first and foremost--the style, good sportsmanship (although Marquez really belied that notion this afternoon in the derby against Espanyol), and imagination.derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265788252814527062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26767346.post-28602727989196625152007-01-13T18:42:00.000-05:002007-01-13T18:42:00.000-05:00Ah, you know, I think that (up to a point) it's im...Ah, you know, I think that (up to a point) it's impossible to sort football teams out based on politics. Obviously, Real and Lazio have dodgy pasts, but just about every major club in Europe has some unsavories among its support. I don't really have strong rooting interests in Italy so I sort of pull for Inter, Roma, Fiore and Palermo...Zach Dundashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384574691806880787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26767346.post-50382403192714188432007-01-13T18:34:00.000-05:002007-01-13T18:34:00.000-05:00laust:

But I think I now have a German club to follow. Cheers!<br /><br />zach:<br /><br />I've been known to enjoy a good Roma game from time to time. Inter was always the Italian side I leaned toward--mostly because of the many Argentine players there. And while they are ostensibly a leftist club (or center-left, whatever), I still can't seem to break my interest in AC Berlusconi, despite my shame.derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265788252814527062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26767346.post-13616961537616523782007-01-13T09:09:00.000-05:002007-01-13T09:09:00.000-05:00I probably know this, but there is a few clubs ove...I probably know this, but there is a few clubs over here who's supporters are predominantly left wing, e.g. Serie A side Livorno or the loveable FC St. Pauli of Hamburg, which has a solid cult following even here in Copenhagen.<br /><br />Btw, good luck with Becks.
