Following on from Ajax's win last night, what non-English teams have you taken a liking to?
I've always liked Ajax so was delighted for them last night. Tadic's turn has given me ideas for 5 a side tonight as well (get ready for my 'I got injured last night' post tomorrow haha!).
Atalanta (Serie A) are another that I've really enjoyed watching in recent years. They seem to play some good stuff at the moment.

Not necessarily.
Given their behaviour in the 2011/12 relegation play-off against Hertha BSC, the best I can muster for them is a mild ambivalence. |
Hertha weren't angels either. I seem to remember one of the players (Kobiashvili?) got done for punching the ref and got banned for a year. |  | | |

Roma. Been to see them at the Olympic Stadium, which was so so good. [Post edited 6 Mar 2019 16:11]

Can't disagree on that one! But the encroachment onto the pitch in the final few minutes before and after the initial pitch invasion certainly didn't help Hertha's focus!
Wasn't there something similar in the UK in the late 70s/early 80s where a relegation decider was similarly affected by encroachment?
Edit: Yes, it was Fulham v Derby in 1983. [Post edited 6 Mar 2019 16:40]

Rennes, as I have lived just over an hour away from there for the last 15 years and where my son and I have been season ticket holders for about 9 years.
Hope to do a Fortuna Dusseldorf match soon. |  | | |

ChievoVerona for no other reason than they got promoted to the top tier and immediately finished 5th a year after we did.
Made a much better job of their second season than we did though. |  | | |

Well they don’t speak English up there so I guess they could count as foreign |  |

I used to 'follow' Parma when Football Italia was on C4, from memory their team included;
Asprilla
Brolin
Zola
Buffon
Baggio (Dino)
Sensini
What a team!! |
Me too, mid-late 90s Parma were great, first Asprilla and Brolin, then Chiesa and Crespo up front, Cannavaro and Thuram in defence as well as the ones you mentioned. |  | | |

Dortmund and Barca due to how they play football and they try to develop players and bring them through.
Been to the Non Camp a few times yet to make it to Dortmund. |  | | |

Spurs were playing a televised game in 2010 & they were due to play Young Boys Bern a few days later in a Champions League play off. The camera lingered on Redknapp's assistant & the commentator said "Kevin Bond's been away looking at Young Boys". |  |

St Mirren for me...only because i liked the look of their kit and badge in a Panini sticker book in the early 80s.....and they have remained my 2nd team since at varying levels of involvement...even attempting to buy shares once in them but having my cheque sent back to me as i got the amount wrong by a few hundred pounds  |  |

I've literally bought their away shirt from a couple seasons back today. It's looks quality. I also decided to buy Dif's away shirt from the 2010/11 season. I used to play counter strike source in a clan with a bunch of Swedish Dif supporters. It was an impulse buy!
Think I might have a collection of football shirts about to happen.
Also, following on from the Tadic inspiration and potentially getting injured in 5 a side, it was more Vertongen tonight. And I got cleared two shots off the line; one with my testicles. No lasting damage! Roll on next week!
Thanks to all the replies as well. It's genuinely interesting to hear why people have a liking for foreign teams. Makes me want to go and plan a footy game into my next holiday wherever that may be. | | | |

Had one of my best ever nights at Roazhon Park tonight, watching Arsenal get well beat.

2 reasons I've always like Ajax.
1) They had a shop at the top of Portman Road.
2) They sponsored the war rocket dispatched to bring back FLash Gordon's body. |  |
