The Football/Soccer thread

[enki_ck]

Any football fans at MT.O? I see we have a hockey thread but nothing about the worlds most played and watched sport.

What are your favorite teams? Mine are Tottenham, Ajax and Lyon (Olympique Lyonnais). Yes I know, all foreign teams (to me) but our local teams are terrible as any young player who shows talent gets sold fast to the highest bidder. Well at least we have a decent national team. What are the teams you will for ever remember, what matches?

For me it will be the Ajax early to mid '90s team, those boys could play. The match would be the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League finals Milan vrs. Liverpool, Liverpool coming back from 0:3 down at half-time to win the title.

I'm not a fan - but I do sometimes look on in internationals to see how we're doing.

The only match I really remember watching was Germany 1 England 5 while I was sat in a pub at Robin Hoods Bay with a great bunch of mates. There was 11 of us stopping in a cottage that sleeps 3 - and enough alcohol for plenty more! Excellent weekend!
