QUOTE(Duke Red @ Apr 18 2007, 01:00 PM) That was one scary dude. I can understand why the rivalry over in the UK is so intense. When fans take the piss out of each other, it often touches a nerve, like when they sing songs that make fun of the Munich Air Disaster or Hillsborough. Many of these fans have lost family members or friends to these tragedies and you can't blame them for wanting to pummel the opposition for disrespecting them. then, I saw this thread from "real fan" become "hardcore fan" lolAdded on April 18, 2007, 1:01 pm Hard to say, it's not about how long you've been a fan. Read some of the posts and come up with your own conclusion. |

Might this have anything to do with the fact that girls tend to think that the Italian player are hot??? Haha.

QUOTE(verx @ Apr 18 2007, 01:01 PM) I think fans in Europe do give credit where it's due as well. They aren't as crazy as ppl make them out to be. Off my head i remember Man Utd fans giving Ronaldo a standing ovation after he scored a hattrick at OT and Real Madrid fans doing the same after Ronaldinho single handedly demolished us at home. i dont know abt Spain, but in Italy its both yes n no. Yes generally fans will give credit to some1 who performs greatly. but if the player plays for their derby rival - hell no. its easier to find a paper pin in ocean than to find a Lazio fan who actually like Totti, or a Roma fan who praise Di Canio.But i do wonder if the Mancs would do the same if for instance Gerrard scored a hattrick in OT   QUOTE(Amanda85 @ Apr 18 2007, 01:18 PM) haha...coz i was watching d final... damn why bring up the painful memory. n italy score d 1st goal...n i'm so convince they will win... all of a sudden france score within d last few minutes....so too dissapointing for me...  |

When I was a boy, I watch MU play because I want to see Lee Sharpe playing or Pierre Litttbarski playing for Germany. I bet not few fans nowadays also being fans for MU because of the Ronaldo looks not his dribbling skills. |

I go for the football. |

It's pretty subjective but if you look, I think the girlfriend analogy says it all really. I suppose a real fan need not be one that looks back on history. A fan who loves his club though, should. This is my opinion anyway. |
