I noticed there wasn't a thread about the sport I love most and am quite passionate about: football (sorry Americans, I won't call it soccer 
).
Anyhow what leagues do you follow (European mainly; Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Eredivisie etc) and what are your favourite teams? Which is your favourite player? Which team has the best supporters? The best tifo's?
I start with myself. My favourite team is Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs). I kind of "accidentally" started supporting them in the early 90's when I visited England and our relatives there. One of the relatives was a passionate Spurs supporter and gave me a "Tottenham Hotspur - The Pride of North London" scarf. I still have it in my room. Of the Spurs players, my favourites are Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale - both ligtning fast energetic players.
This season was both unbeliavable as Spurs played in the Champions League for the first time and got to play against some real giants like Inter, AC Milan and Real Madrid, beating both Inter and AC Milan. Advancing to be one of the top 8 teams in Europe was just fantastic after all years of "forever nearly". On the other hand, the Premier League had some very bad moments and finishing 5th left "us" out of the Champions League next year.
I'm also a fan of AIK from Stockholm, a club I got introduced to by a Swedish friend a long time ago. I regularly visit Stockholm and watch their games.
Oh BTW, feel free to discuss European Championships too
So, anyone interested in the most popular, beautiful and passionate game on Earth? If there is an interest to talk about football more globally, I don't have anything against broadening the topic to football everywhere in the world. I know football has become more popular in the US too, which is very nice.

) Wouldn't mind Crouch or Defoe leaving, Pav i don't mind, he can get a goal out of anything on his day and that's good to have around. I think the most important thing is that we keep Modric, absolutely the most important player for us atm, amazing player. 
(Bundesliga seems to be very good for brilliant atmosphere, especially Borussia Dortmund from what I've watched)
