My second love after football is American Football. Love the game. I'm a big Green Bay Packers fan, hoping to go see a game in Nov/Dec. don't follow basketball as much but do look out for Milwaukee Bucks scores, along with baseball, I follow Milwaukee Brewers (My brother lives in Mikwaukee btw so that's the link)

Since being in Australia for the past couple of months Iv not really picked up a football team but watch loads of Rugby League and been following Brisbane Broncos. I just can't get into Aussie rules, just reminds me of a bunch of school kids chasing a football around in the school yard.

I don't really follow another football team. I like teams around europe (Dortmund, Ajax etc) but don't look for their results really.

American Football - Cleveland Browns, Basketball - Chicago Bulls and Baseball - Chicago Cubs.

City and Arsenal. Born in North London, but moved to Cardiff when I was six. Also follow the Seattle Sounders in the MLS.

Away from football, it's got to be the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA. 8-)

Uses to go watch the cardiff devils as a kid before they knocked down the ice rink in town and moved them to that tent down the bay! I still watch out for there results though.

Cardiff City will always be NO1 and my club.

But Bury were my Grandfathers and I saw them 7 times before I saw my first Cardiff game in 1972, so I look out for the Shakers. :ayatollah:

Always look out for Merthyr & Bradford's results.

I like their sustainable/green approach, as Im a bit of a hippy.

Well, I've liked their system for years as its always produced quality talent like Eike Immel, Lars Ricken, etc. older players now.

They have an emphasis on mainly German's in their setup and always have done even before the regulations. They now and then take on Turkish or African players but by the time they come through they're eligible for Germany. Very good pro German system.

Thats why they've always produced quality players for Germany at international level. They're training ethos is brilliant but im not going into full detail here as I could write a block wall on the thing.

theres nothing special in the Zecken youth setup. its a system all premier clubs have. they do however have a great scouting office, i give em that.

I have been to see their setup. It far surpasses a lot of premier club setups over here.
