In the Brasilian soccer league I cheer for Corinthians, and international, the brasilian team of course
As for European soccer, I like my fellow countrymen, ok, both Ronaldo´s, Kaka, Robinho etc... but two guys that will definately shine: Pato (in Milan) and Alex (in Chelsea I think).

Good call, RIVALDO was an excellent player. Nowadays he is at the end of his carreer, but definately a great great player.
Did you know that people here in Brasil don´t like Rivaldo that much? This is because he was always a shy and reserved player... never gave interviews, was always quiet, and plus, came a avery poor region of Brasil.
It´s a shame that he never received the recognition he deserved. But to me, he will always have my respect.

Fat Ronaldo wasn´t always fat He did wonders for brasilian soccer. I personally don´t like him too much, but we all have to respect the fact that he suffered an injury that would bring to an end anyone´s carreer, but not him, he recovered and went back to playing in the same level!
Plus, he´s a humanitarian, donates money to all those institutions, how can you NOT like the guy? LOL

Posted by xxxitaliaxxx13: What is your favorite sports team?
Soccer Clubs - Juventus, Roma (Serie A) Soccer - Alessandro Del Piero (Italian, Juventus)
Saw Juventus/Del P. play in Malta a month ago, training match against a local team. It was terrible, worst $100 ever spent for a ticket. Juventus even lost the match on penalties after 1-1 full time.
For me - favourite soccer team is Man Utd (but I cheer for Liverpool and Arsenal as well, except when they are up against United).

For all you soccer fans out there, does any of you collect soccer jerseys? If you do, let´s find a way to send soccer shirts to eachother, from local teams! Many of the teams listed here I have no access to buy, as I imagine some of the teams here are also impossible to find abroad.

Italy won 2-1 lol it was 1-0 at half then Italy decided it was time to play..

Funny thing you mentioned Baggio, here in Brasil everyone loves him, but noone wants his jersey! You know why, right? In case you don´t remember, he was very good to us!

I know, I just can´t forget that final match when someone mentions Baggio! Ok, you are champions now, many thanks to the referree in that game against Australia, with that miracle penalty in the last minute!
What would older generations think of a team that won the world cup with Luca Toni as forward!
It´s ok, we have 5 titles, we still have nothing to worry about!

Well, let´s just say that the Italy game against Australia was one of those common and unfortunate terms we call a "bad beat" LOL. But yes, those two teams have definately a important rivalry between them.
, Football probably Barcelona ... since i like it from times when ronaldo and later rivaldo used to play there
... he was rly good some time ago but now its comedy ^)^
