    Hi all,

    I've been a member for several weeks now and can't help but be curious as to where every one is from. I figure I'd start a thread where all members can state where they are from in the world as well as what team they support.
    I guess I'll start;

    Toronto, Canada

    Benfica - some of my favourite players of all time, Carlos Manuel, Chalana, Nene, I've only included the players I've had the fortune to see play

    i'm american by birth, raised in delaware. i hold citizenships in poland and america. my first language was polish and my family is from "wielka polska", a province on the western side of poland. it means greater poland, something like that. we are from the city of leszno in between the larger cities of poznan and wroclaw.

    i love poland more than america. it feels like home there. we intend to move oneday... :D

    my favorite club is sporting, a choice that was originally by name alone, but now for other reasons.

    favorite players (pretty bandwagoner) : carvalho, ronaldo, figo, and ricardo. ricardo is a great goalie. lol, it was uber when he won the game for us against britania.

    Modesto, CA. My parents are from Pico and Terceira. I feel like you do, El Ardillo, in regards to the US. It really doesn't feel like home. Even though I am born and raised in America, I consider myself more Portuguese than American.
