Hey everyone

My name is James, I am 28 originally from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, although I now reside in Hounslow.

Needless to say I support Huddersfield Town, but I also follow Barcelona every week on SKY. I hope to get to a game at Camp Nou next season.

Aidan, 21 yr old student, dedicated fan of Crusaders FC in Belfast & Northern Ireland. Platini supporter. Love my monthly fix of World Soccer & Friday night's World Football phone in on BBC Radio 5 Live. Support OM, Nejmeh (Beirut), Hibernian, Shamrock Rovers, Nottingham Forest, Leicester City (cos I study at Loughborough University) and the Arsenal to a lesser extent but detest the whole G14 mentality and see their increasing power & the increasing big club/country monopoly taking over the game as disgusting.

I'm Mark, and am from Newcastle. I just bought my first WorldSoccer magazine, the one with Lionel Messi on the cover and I like it.

I am a fan of Newcastle United despite their failures, I also like to keep an eye on other foreign teams like Barcelona, and several others.

I don't like the fact that footballers no longer belong to the community, they are too highly paid to be able to relate to any fans, and I feel football clubs have lost touch with fans and don't take their opinion seriously enough.

Hi, I'm Anton. I'm 18 now but I hope I'll be not less'n 99 in future using this forum

Digging in dribs and drabs about me you'll find out that I was born in city over great Neva or just St Petersburg. I'm a freshman in university. Wanna be a real programmer. But just now my salary is, so to speak, left but livable.

As for my school life I was A-Student. I maybe sometimes shy and sometimes bossy. And net community comes easier to me than real.

I also like to organize people. I've already made TTFK (Table tennis Federation of Kettles), Prophet (BIG prediction game in Russia) and just making Domestic Prediction game on Bert Kassies' forum whcih includes this forum's users.

Regards

Kaiser aka A.S.N.D.V.

Hello, I'm Pierre, 39 years old, lifelong fan of Lyon (local team).
I unfortunately left Lyon when I was a student and I do not have the chance to see many games at Gerland (once a year at best). In other words, I spent 10 years in the stadium in the 80s when they were in second division but never really had the chance to see them on a regular basis since they are on top (in France). It doesn't matter, it doesn't prevent me from being very proud of them.

I had the chance to have some great expat experiences in London (2y) and New York (3y) but I came back to Paris last year.

I like travelling and for example visited almost all the stadiums that welcomed a World Cup final for example
I also attended the WC98 final in the Stade de France (wedding gift - pretty nice, wasn't it?).

I don't really support any other team abroad, but I have some respect for a club like Milan for example.
In England, no real preference really. Maybe West Ham for their brilliant academy. I am also impressed by the ability of Liverpool to be so consistently brilliant on the European stage (like Milan).

I am also known as "Lyonnais" in another well known forum.

Alright? I'm Rich, 21 from Hull. I support Hull City and haven't missed a match, home or away, for about 3 seasons now. I've been a season ticket holder for 7 years, but saw my first game in 1994 against Shrewsbury at Boothferry Park. More recently,I've witnessed two promotions but also a fair amount of crap, especially last season, when we narrowly avoided relegation to League One.

My all time favourite footballer is Ian Ashbee, currently City's captain. Some people prefer Keane, Viera or Ince as midfield Generals but I'd rather watch Ash anyday.

I play 6 a side football, for the oddly named Los Battlestar Galacticos. My best position is defence but I like to try my hand in the midfield when I can. I like to think that I have an eye for goal but most of the time my shooting is wayward, but my passing is pretty decent, even if i do have a tendency to try the odd Hollywood Pass.

Cheers.

Hi, my name is Mauricio Drumond and I'm from Brazil. I'm 28 and I'm a sports historian and a history teacher.

I'm from Rio de Janeiro and I'm a Flamengo fan. I try to make it to all the matches we play home, but it's kinda hard to attend to the away games... And as I live close to Maracanã I get to watch Flamengo live very often.

I haven't got much contact with World Soccer magazine for it's pretty hard and expensive to get the magazine here in Brazil. The website kinda gives an idea of it.

I'm pretty excited about taking part in this forum. It may be a good oportunity to talk about football (the REAL football)with people from all over the world.

As English is not my first language, I apologize for any spelling mistake I might have made or I will make from now on.

I'm working on a blog or something to write down some of my toughts on football (and sports in general) and society... It would be great to face some debates on the issue here.

Well, I think that's it. Anything on Brazilian and South American football, I'm in!

Maurício Drumond

Hi i'm Chris,18, and am a Plymouth Argyle fan from Cornwall, England. I am currently an A level student and look forward to beginning a degree in journalism next term.
I watch Plymouth Argyle regularly, when I am not playing myself. I have an interest in world football in general, particularly South America and also am interested in terrace culture and ultras.
In the future I am looking to combine my journalism course with my love of world football and hopefully become a football journalist. Bye for now.

I've been a member of this message board for awhile but had not previously introduced myself before. My name is Manuel and my screen name "enganche" in football terms means playmaker in English. I am 42 and was born in Sarandi, Argentina and have been a life long supporter of Independiente, the club from neighbouring Avellaneda. In order to escape the military dictatorship in Argentina in the early 80's, I was able to emigrate first to Colombia then later to the United States where I now live.

I know a few posters here from another message board and I am always willing to discuss football with fans from around the world. My wife doesn't even complain as she knows it keeps me out of the bars and talking football there!

Like Enganche, i've been here for a while aswell, but never introduced myself. So guys, the mystery is over.

I'm Adam,24 and live in Scarborough, follow Scarborough of course and Everton since i was a wee lad.

Besides being in Scarborough, i also move between Abu Dhabi and Krabi, Thailand, thus my interest in Asian Football and now the Arab game.

Over there, i tend to follow the thai game closely, and feel they really do have a love for the game, and besides that, most support Everton just because of Tim Cahill.

As i say, currently in sunny Scarborough, but kind of fallen out of love with the English game, and looking more into the lesser leagues of European football. So if you find out interesting or bizarre, as seems to happen in the minnows of European football, then personnel message me, i'm sure to take a look.
