Hello to you all
My favorite team which I have been a loyal supporter for some 20 year, ever since I know football, has finally reached its first final in 6 years and hopefully will bring the first championship in 10 years though we have a bad history with finals, we lost 34 final matches in 40 years.
So what is your favorite team/s in every sport you follow?

Despite everything I still support Southampton at football, though masochistically and from afar. Supporting Hampshire at cricket is currently not so painful.
The Atlanta Braves have been going through a bad patch, maybe because I haven't been over for a couple of years. (Every time I've watched them, they have won.)
I probably should support the Falcons but I'm always reminded of the legendary newsreader who is supposed to have announced that the police had caught a sneak thief in the Falcons' car park before the game: however he was not forced to watch the game on the ground that it would be constitutionally cruel and unusual punishment.

You're right. The only true teams are in football, not soccer.  My favorites are the Atlanta Falcons and the Kansas City Chiefs. For baseball I like the Atlanta Braves. For basketball...The Chicago Bulls, I guess, since Michael Jordan played for them. (I don't really follow basketball) Soccer: Don't watch much soccer, though I enjoyed the World Cup and the Champion's league. ------------- Concrete is heavy; iron is hard--but the grass will prevail.

Oh boy, where too begin...
American style football - Primarily the Dallas Cowboys, with a healthy dose of respect for the NY Giants!
 Rugby - I guess we could say it is the precursor to American football? I can't find it on often where i live, but when i do, i'll watch every second of it until it is over!
Soccer - I don't have a favorite American or International team. But it is fun too watch.
Baseball - As a kid, i liked the Texas Rangers, but got rather bored with it as i grew up. Mostly because the game has been dominated mainly by any team from the New England area for most of it's history. Maybe once... on a rare blue moon, some other team might capture the championship. Other then that, the game seems most sadly to be very easily predictable.
 I wished it weren't so!  Basketball - At the beginning of the season, i usally like too watch and root for the Dallas Mavericks, but then... i usally find myself throwing my support too any team that can keep itself together by the end of the season!
Hockey - No particular team is my favorite, but the fights that can break out are very spectacularly passionate! A damn good sport
 Racing - I love Nascar (Dale Earnhart Sr. was and still is the best!
 , his was the only team in the sport of racing worth watching!) Since his death i have followed Tony Stewarts career with interest, who himself came over to Nascar from Formula car racing. I don't have a particular team favorite among the Formula car racing teams. I'm just have a particular need for speed! I'm not that picky.  I also have always enjoyed National and International Superbike racing, as well as Motocross. |

Well, only team I ever loved is F.C. Sarajevo, and that love lasts since 80's... 
Even tho our league sucks big time lately, and it is a real torture to follow it, I still feel the same passion every time my team plays...
I've tried to "force" myself to get into following of some other international teams too, so that watching of foreign leagues or international cups could be more interesting for me, but it simply didn't work... I stay more or less detached about their results.
I could mention some teams that i prefer among other internetional ones, mostly because the atmosphere on the stadiums and their ultras/hooligans... like: Boca Juniors, Besiktas, Napoli, Livorno, Liverpool etc...
But, my favorite team... Only Sarajevo F.C...

My favorite sport would be Formula 1 though some people do not really consider car racing a sport. But for me, it still is. The team would have to be Ferrari, probably because they come up with really nice rides and win championships at that. As of late, they are not really at the higher tier in standings as they have been struggling for pace, probably stretching to 3 seasons already. But they will have their time, pretty much how Red Bull has been having it, now. |
