England - Tottnham hustpors
Netherlands - Ajax Amsterdam
Germany - Shalcke04

btw Tottnham + ajax are the most jews teams in the whole world out of israel so almost all the israelis are fans of them :)
oh and maccabi fans and ajax fans are calling our self "brothers" cause were always meeting and going to games together as like Brother fans group from netherland and israel, heres some pics -

Real Madrid sucks. They only have insane amounts of money tu buy superstars from outside Spain. If it hadn't the history it has, it would be no difference with that english teams bought by crazy and rich arabs who pick up every star they can.

Barcelona at least it has a philosophy of football, it takes care of young players to develop (as Messi, Iniesta or Xavi) in the young categories... and makes a very beautiful football.

It's simple: it is supposed to be the most important team in Spain but just see the main spanish national team and see how many Real Madrid players are: Casillas (the only who came from RM young categories) and Sergio Ramos, wich was developed as player in Sevilla.

How about Raul?? He is a local kid :))) I know he started in Atletico but he is a Real guy.

Plus, Real is the biggest historical club in the World and it means a lot for many people!!!

Talking about Tottenham, I think they have a mess now. IMO they have no clue whatsoever. Their new coach may be helped to stay in EPL but his shopping spree is just ridiculous. They wasted so much money and I do not think they were effective.

Giovanni Dos Santos is coming back from Loan, we gonna get atleast 6th place next year.

Every soccer fan lover would try to download the Real Madrid 2- Barcelona 6 from last May. One of the greatest matchs I've ever seen.
I think I have seen that match on one of the soccer channels at least 3 times in the last week. It was good enough to watch that many times. Agree that was an amazing match. CRA-ZEE in a good way lol.

I hope Villa will be traded soon because it is turning into a Brazilian soap opera. I'd like him to go to EPL; preferably to FC Chelsea (they need some fresh blood) but it seems like he is going to stay in Spain.

Riberi is staying with Bayern but he could be a great addition to Real or the EPL Big 4.

I heard that Yuri Zhirkov is finally moving to England. I think he is a Top-3 LW in the world now and he can play LWB very well too.

Dos Santos has been a huge letdown, and I'll guarantee you that Tottenham won't have a top 6 finish next year. Not a chance.

Chelsea will win the Prem next year unless United bring in a couple big players. Valencia is a good player but he's not gonna fill Ronnie's boots. Could do with Aguero or Benzema as well.

Liverpool will fall short again. Their fans are the most deluded in the world. It actually hurts your head to listen to them.

Maybe Man-U lost Ronaldo, but they got 94 Milion Euro, they gonna buy new players for sure, benzema gonna come to Man-U and Tevez will go to Liverpool. im sure man-u gonna get a new RM or Attacking CM to fill ronaldo's place.
im sure The championship gona go to united again, or even arsenal.
chelsea are the Loserz, and they will always be like it, same for liverpool.

Yes, but other teams know that we've got money to spend, so they're going to be asking for far too much money for their players. Athletico supposedly want £55 million for Aguero? That's crazy. He's an excellent young player, but that's far too much. For this reason, it's still going to be difficult for United to buy great players. Teams will inflate the value of their players because they know United have alot of money.

Tevez won't go to Liverpool. He's already said he won't go there because they're too big rivals to United and he doesn't want to betray United. It's between Chelsea and Man City to sign him; I think City will get him.

I hope we (united) win the Prem again, but it will be tough. There will be a transition period after Ronaldo. I think Chelsea will win it with a new coach and a few good signings. As long as Liverpool don't win it, it will be a decent season.

Chelsea wont take a champ till they will bring back avraam grant, the only coach ever who got them to the euro cup finals and lost just because anelka and terry at the penalty shoutouts...

Uh oh, soccer talk.

Im 50% greek, although I have never been to Greece and I only understand basic words, I still love Olympiakos and of course I root for the Greece national team (after USA) .. I'd have to say my favorite Greek player is Karagounis.

As far as USA soccer, Ive been to a ton of New England Revolution games .. I know everyone hates on the MLS, but I still find going to the games entertaining, and you gotta like Matt Reis.

Then there is the Premier League, where I root for Chelsie FC for almost no reason, I just kind of started liking them and with no real ties to any teams I just stuck with em. ALOT of fans hate Drogba, and for good reason, but I think he is funny and hands down my favorite euro footballer.

Im also a big fan of Luca Toni .. again, dont really have a reason for it.

i love Toni either! but he allways fails at the big moments..
anywayz i was trying to follow the mls league while beckham signed in the galaxy, but it was so booring, they play on football fields!! it makes the game look not serious, the players play more phisicaly than technic.

but still, i think the usa league is almost at the same lvl as the israeli one ;]
and still i dont think theres any american team whitch can bring 45 thousand pplz to soccer game, while maccabi does it alot ;]

Unfortunately it´s all about soccer here in Austria, althoug we are pretty bad in it.

Sports like basketball or hockey are not so popular. The quality of basketball over here really sucks. I wasn´t able to watch one whole game so far, because I´d have to gouge my eyes out. It´s really bad :(.

Therefore we´re best at skiing.:D

I do not think that Arsenal is ready to win the crown again. They got Arshavin and he looks like a steal for 15M but they need at least 3 more very good players. At least one solid defender and DM.

Chelsea is a good franchise; they are not losers anymore. They had some struggles after Mourinho left them but I think now they will be solid again.
I know that we have many friends from Israel but let's be honest :), Grant is not for Chelsea or any super club. I think he is a decent coach but he is not that super good. Grant got that job because he has powerful friends in Russian football and they connected him with Roman Abramovich, so he became an administrative manager and later, a head coach (I read it somewhere). He did a good job in CL but it is very hard for an international coach with no success as a player or coach in big leagues to motivate and press players if needed. I just hope that Anchelotti (I hope it is a right spelling:)) will make a good transition to EPL. Is his English solid? I am not a fan of Chelsea but I do not hate them either. I do not even hate Tottenham ))) The only team I strongly dislike is MU (sorry about that) )))
