    You know I was going to suggest the US, but on second thought we don't need you. Why not just wait and see who wins the World Cup and then pretend you've liked them your whole life??

    Jackass.

    how about Korea? we're not as great as Argentina, Brazil, England, Holland, Germany, or any of those world-powers in football, not even half as decent but we're getting there.. we have a pretty decent domestic league which attracts some sorts of international attention, not relatively big ones, but some fan bases here and there in different countries.. it seems every year, Korea takes a step, Samsung who sponsored Chelsea arranged a match with Chelsea and Suwon Bluewings, currently considered the best team in Korea. we have skilled youngsters and the Korean section in BS isnt so shabby either..

    if you havent known, in 2002 regardless if you think Korea cheated or not, you have to admit that we had a decent home supportive crowd.. it drew me into soccer ever since.. heres some videos that some guy from America took in a couple of international friendlies Korea had recently

    Argentina got the hardest, yet most interesting group. Every single one of the matches will be awesome.

    Your favorite Nepali club side should be Machhindra FC (www.mfcnepal.com)

    In all seriousness, I totally don't get your post. You support the USA and Galaxy - why the hell do you feel you need another national team and club side to follow, especially when you can easily follow those sides on TV and the Internet.

    Just enjoy watching the matches. A lot of times it's better when you do not have an emotional attachment to the teams playing. You can enjoy the games much more.

    Will you still say that when Serbia and Montenegro win 1-0?

    Nope, since that would be a boring game.

    HAHAH......what a foolish cliche response.....You assume I'm American because....I live in NYC?

    I really don't want to actually explain what I wrote but I feel in your case it is neccessary.....of course Brazil is one of the best national teams....never said otherwise, just isn't the best side to support if you're a true fan of team work when they really focus more on individuality within the team system.

    You got that? PM me if you want me to clarify it even more..........actually don't.

    Someone else want to explain this to him?

    Both teams have an extremely rich tradition....'pool is the most succesful english club and Bayern is the most successful german club...of course, my suggestion does include some personal bias but I find that to this day, these two teams are great examples of overall solid and evenly balanced teams.

    There is no overwhelming focus on one area of the game, defending is as important as is attacking and the teamwork is heavily emphasized and it always clearly shows.

    England: They are easy to follow because we share the same language. They are a damn good team abd probably will win the WC.

    Are you insane? Don't get me wrong, they have an excellent squad, and lord knows they'd win it before Argentina, but Holland, Brazil and Italy are more likely to win it.

    Put a huge map of the world on the wall. Then put a blindfold on yourself. Take a dart and spin around 10 times. Throw the dart at the wall. Whichever country you hit, that's you national team. Whichever city is nearest you hit - that's which club you can support (if the city has two teams than flip a coin). If your dart lands in the middle of the ocean than just keep supporting the USA & LA Galaxy.

    You know nothing about football. Do you really think there is not a strategy involved to put that many offensive players on the same time?

    Brazil would suffer a goal everytime we lost possession if the defensive strategy was not good.

    I disagree, just on the basis that many strategists have been analyzing Brazils teamwork for a long time. Read this page:

    http://www.expertfootball.com/coaching/space.php

    Its an entire page of tactics based on a teamwork system that the Brazilians mastered long before anybody knew what they were doing.

    start supporting napoli. theyre starting from scratch right now and you can follow them on their way back to the top. they have huge potential. it will feel so much sweeter when they actually win something again then if you go with say chelsea or barca or Juve, or the teams just below them.

    as for national team, you should support your own. and only them.

    Please...save it.....you're not serious in saying that Brazilians are actually great defensively...because they are not and there are many teams I can list off the top of my head that just simply have a better defensive strategy.

    Brazil wins games because of their offense, not defense.

    That is a very interesting article, thanks.

    It does state that the key is to maintain possession, and that is mainly done through their attacking game. Also, by their defenders moving up, adding more options to their attack, like Cafu and Carlos do. It also draws attention to individual control of the ball.

    So defense is the only strategy you know?
    I think you are mixing things up
    If it was not for Emerson and Zé Roberto's workrate in the midfield, we'd be flat out fvcked with our attacking strategy
    I guess you can call that teamworking
    You are right to an extent though, Brasil base their game on individualism, that is not to say there is not teamwork in the Brazilian team
    But let's not get adrift off topic...

    No, you're right...there is teamwork, even in the Brazilian team. But if you want a prime example of teamwork and its full potential, spread evently between the 11 players on the pitch, Brazil isn't the first team that comes to mind, all I'm saying.

    You're spot on about Ze and Emerson though...they are really holding that team together, sometimes they get overlooked unfortunately.

    Not just them.
    Kaka has a different role from that he plays on Milan.
    He plays closer to the DMs and has a defensive responsibility too.

    But I guess that is not strategy...

    Are you serious about Paraguay? Some people find this team the most boring to watch. I don't believe there is a boring game. Either you root for a team or not, the more loyal you are to one the more you suffer when they lose or the happier you are with their performance, or how the team holds themselves in front of the so call superiors teams.

    Ouch! No need to hate. I already stated that I'm a US fan. Let's face it, though. The only real meaningful competition the US plays in is the WC. No Euro. No qualifiers against highly talented teams like Italy or Argentina. I've sat through several (and will continue to) games where the US is playing teams like Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. All I'm saying is that there's gotta be some other teams to also support who are regularly playing top competition.

    I don't care, but there's really no justification for supporting more than one national team. It's your ********ing country, and that's who you should ********ing support.

    As for club teams, just don't do something lame and get a team support list that reads like: Man U, Barca, AC Milan. I can't stand those asshats.
