Sell me your favorite football team!
-
As you might have seen in the unpopular opinions thread, I do not like American football, but I do appreciate actual football. The only problem is, there are so many great teams, and it's overwhelming to choose one to watch.
Just for fun, tell me why your football team is the best and why I should choose them! Who knows, you might end up recruiting a new fan

If I could sell you the Atlanta Falcons I could. But, I’d be ripping you off.
-
@alexxedge not at all interested in American football teams. I literally couldn’t care less about American football.
-
@alexxedge (as a childhood Falcons fan) unless he’s interested in a lifetime of sadness and pain, I wouldn’t sell him the Falcons either

I'm not a big fan even though I live in a town of fans and where often all they talk about is football, but I love Fiorentina and the stadium, for a few years (when I went to university first in Urbino then in Florence) I missed very few games... I think everyone should see a game in the "curva" at least once in their life... go Fiorentina, one of the least famous but most likeable teams in Italy

Newcastle United, we’re not great but also not terrible. We sometimes look like we might win something but never do. Our fans are mainly amazing, but also we have some of the worst fans.
We have the richest owners in the world, but can’t spend as much money as other teams because of some complicated rules to stop anyone becoming the next Man City.
Our kit is sexy as fuck whilst also being one of the most boring.
Join us @seawolf , it’s never dull whilst also being highly predictable.

@Luijim78 - was in Florence last weekend but Fiorentina were playing away, sadly.

@AdamC watching Man U with my dad around that time was one of the highlights of my childhood! Much to his dismay, I lost interest in my teens, but seeing old clips of that late 90s squad in action still gives me goosebumps.

@AdamC Solskjær was my hero after the '99 champions leagues final! In hindsight, maybe that why I lost interest in football, subconsciously I knew it had peaked, and that nothing would ever be as exciting as that game...
I also remember getting an award at school for a poem I wrote about Andy Cole, and reading it out loud in an assembly

Only two times I've been invested in football since was the run up to Leicester's Premier League win/subsequent week long party in the city, and a random game I went to see in Hanoi, Vietnam where there were roughly 5 red cards, 10 ish goals, 2 fights and the crowd stormed the pitch after the game.
From what I understood, this was just a regular mid season game with no real stakes, and everything that occured was totally normal.
