I've seen this meme all over the place, but here is MY version!



1. Which team(s) do you support? real madrid. benfica. bordeaux. liverpool. tottenham hotspur. stuttgart. river plate (argentina). junior barranquilla. nacional de montevideo. cruz azul. mexico national team. colombia national team. spain national team. argentina national team.

2. When did you start supporting that team? mexico since forever. real madrid has been the longest club team (since 2006).

3. Have you ever supported other teams? deportivo cali and club atletico nacional (colombia), bayern munich (bundesliga).

4.Why football and why not basketball? I was never a basketball fan. But I was a HUGE NFL fan and supported whatever team Randy Moss played for. AND the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, the Ravens still ROCK!

5. Your first footie crush and why. francesco totti. what can I say? the man oozed sex for me back in the 90s.

6. If you were a footballer, in which role would you play? hard-ass defender, no question! Sergio Ramos is my idol! LOL.

7. In which society? that's a tough one. La Liga, I guess. That's because of the Spanish passing game and the players' quickness. It would be a challenge to defend against them.

8. Your favourite in: Liga, Premier, Bundes teams. la liga: real madrid, epl: spurs. bundesliga: stuttgart.

9. The ... footballer:
most intelligent: juan roman riquelme!
most cunning: radamel falcao.
most arrogant: zlatan ibrahimovic.
most handsome: that's tough. there are so many! glen johnson, radamel falcao, miguel torres, gerardo bedoya, macnelly torres.
shiest: teofilo gutierrez.
womanizer: sergio ramos!
silliest: pepe reina.
most stylish: radamel falcao.

10. If you had a daughter, who would be the perfect son-in-law? again, this is so difficult. I'd have to say radamel falcao because of his devotion to family and good causes.

11. 5 footballers you loved. steve mcmanaman, rene higuita, jamie redknapp, oscar cordoba and hugo sanchez.

12. Your actual football crush and his best qualities: geovanny hernandez of junior barranquilla (was with Colo Colo before). Not only is he talented and smart, and a free kick specialist in the same genre as Riquelme and Beckham, but his joie de vivre and enthusiasm are infectious! to watch him play you realize how addictive he is. You cannot take your eyes off him on the pitch. His attention to detail is very reminiscent of Juan Riquelme's. His desire to win, over and above his considerable talent, is so influential that he is capable of winning games for his team all by himself. He is what we called a "clutch" player in baseball. And his celebrations! So full of joy, just like a kid, and he is so funny! He is 33 going on 13! I cannot believe he is as old as that because in his head he is still a boy. He is a truly wonderful, ageless player.

13. The footballer you would have in your fav team: radamel falcao.

14. If your team didn't exist, which team would you support? sevilla, wigan, porto, werder bremen, deportivo cali, racing club de avellaneda, marseille.

16. Do all in your family support the same team? only benfica!

17. Last match you saw: on tv: tenerife vs sevilla fc. Live: celtic fc vs benfica back in september.

18. The best match: the UEFA Cup final from 2007 when sevilla fc beat rcd espanyol. That was unbelievably exciting and was the best match I've ever seen.

19. The worst match: the U-20 WC qualifying match in early 2009 between argentina and brazil in venezuela in the pouring rain which was ruined by the worst refereeing I have ever seen. after which the ref got banned from refereeing forever, but that was too late for argentina!

20. The Golden Ball to...? xavi hernandez. got his team a treble, didn't he?

21. Who is the footballer you hate most? landon donovan. I seriously have to click to another station or clap my hands over my ears and go 'lalalalalalalalalalala' whenever I see/hear him.

22. Which footballer would be a perfect politician? david beckham.

23. A perfect model? runway? abel aguilar. it's all about the BODY as well as the face. but its mainly the PROPORTIONS. but to be fair, LOTS of footballers could do this extremely well.

24. A perfect tv-announcer? sergio ramos. that beautiful voice, that glorious smile. he'd be PERFECT but so many women would just swoon.

25. What do you think about wags? wags like coleen rooney and posh are great (and I'm sure there are tons of others). But someone like nereida gallardo or belen rodriguez just give wags a bad name! LOL.

26. Mourinho is... extremely charismatic.

27. Shevchenko is... a beautiful man. I HATE that he is getting older!

28. J. Zanetti is... see above.

29. Ronaldo is... the BEST. and still a wonderful player, overweight or no.

30. Your footie wishes for 2010: spain to win the world cup, real madrid to win the league, sevilla to win the the champions league, arsenal to win the premiership (because it is the most realistic team that I like to do it), spurs to make it into the champions league next year, fernando torres to win the balon d'or next year against leo messi and cesc fabregas.

Sometimes I cannot understand how we both can talk about football without a heavy fight!
We are really totally different!
But I guess you are the one who is VERY DIPLOMATIC!

I am like a chameleon and I change colours all the time! I cannot remain loyal to ALL but I have not been a football fan as long as you! So I guess I can explain it by saying I am in a state of transition all the time. I forgot to mention River Plate above! I was thinking about River Plate and if I could make another Argentine team my favourite, but I cannot! My heart is with River, and that is after watching all the other teams and watching some programs on Argentine football and to the roots of the clubs and how the barra bravas fit in and all that stuff. And I am totally 100 percent with River!

But Real Madrid was the first BIG team I loved, and it was because of the way they played football, the way they were organized. But at the time Zidane was there, so were Becks, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo and Raul was quicker and better.

Now it is not the same team. Plus I hate how they buy players and think they can slap a team together like that. I much admire the Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao way of using homegrown players, (the River way too!) but I CANNOT support Barcelona! I could, however, switch my loyalty to Athletic Bilbao quite easily. And it may take me a couple of years but I can probably do it.

LOL @ us not liking similar things! But we are on different sides of the world and that has a lot to do with shaping attitudes. Our similarities are that we like attacking football, we both like South American football, River Plate, Colombian and Mexican NTs and teams! And Liverpool! Liverpool is unique and special. I felt something special the first time I watched Spurs, though, and I loved them at once. Back then they had different players but also the same attacking style, using two or three strikers and rampaging fullbacks and an involved, busy midfield. I love that kind of football that has movement and surprises you with their creativity.

Anyway, too long a reply! Let's just say that we agree more than disagree, and I can always see your point! I understand where you are coming from and I understand the things you hate! I might be more diplomatic but I am also less passionate than you about it. Yet I admire passion and heart more than anything. And so this is why I love players like Geovanny, Bedoya, Sergio Ramos, Sebastian Abreu, Stevie Gerrard, and others like them.♥

Yes, and you too, little Patricio Toranzo.♥

I can only say THANK YOU!

It's right I'm more passionated *smiles* Sometimes my hate is too strong and I still hate too easily. My love is strong too but I don't talk that much about. I don't know why it goes this way.

I forgot River Plate, it was my very first argentine team to love and I still love them. Vélez is my 'heart' team. Not because of the hot players (that's only one aspect) but because they play 'my' football and I can understand how they play. I can read the match.
I didn't choose Liverpool *smiles* but I love them and I will always love them and it makes my sad to see what happens right now!
I'm sorry about Blackburn, with Hughes they played my football too but now... I'm so sorry...
I'm mostly not a fan of the 'big' clubs. Maybe I could be a very good fan of a smaller team playing in a third or fourth league.
Once I liked Barcelona till the girls tried to convert me into a Real fan. It worked a bit but I was never a really Real fan. I don't like the way they are playing football and I was never happy about Becks playing there. I have found my spanish team: SEVILLA!
I go always my own way. Mostly the hard way. That's me.

Patricio Toranzo played very unlucky today :(

I started liking Boca but then once I watched a few games and saw River I could not help but fall in love with them. Mainly I guess it was Falcao and Abreu. *sigh* Remember those two with the long hair up front? *sigh again* But I got to love ALL the boys.

Oh poor bb Toranzo! I will love him forever since I saw him being so nice to the River boys on the sub bench. I hate to see him having a bad game! But I guess almost ALL do that!

Everybody should be allowed to go their own way with who they love and hate with the teams.

Don't remind me on the two beautiful hot guys....
The team has changed but I still like it very much!

For sure everybody can love their own team (but some loves I will never understand) and all people should go their own way but the most are too lazy, too stupid, too boneheaded....

Oh god, some of the loveliest pics of River with the hot ones up front.........*sigh*

A lot of people just look at games superficially and are not into it as deeply as we are. Well, especially you. I have not been in it that deeply for as long, since I only used to see the WC mostly, and only got the specialty TV stations for footie in 2006! I will NEVER catch up to you!

I think it is not important how long you are watching football it is more important HOW you are watching!

Thanks god all people are different!

I'm too passionated with my heart.
