Slovenia: Olimpija Ljubljana
This is my local football club that I like since childhood, it's the most known and most traditional Slovenian club, quite good at the time of Yugoslavia with players like Oblak (current manager of Slovenian national team) and Katanec (former manager of Slovenian national team, who qualified on Euro 2000 and WC 2002), later in Slovenian league our club won 4 titles but then the crisis began. In 2005 club was relegated to 5th division, because of financial problems and club debts. We're in 4th division right now. I hope our club will play in UEFA cup or Champions league soon, last time we were in UEFA cup (03/04 season) we played against Liverpool and drew 1-1 in Ljubljana. Here you have some photos of Olimpija 'Ultras' (Green Dragons 1988) that were posted on some Italian site, for more photos visit http://www.green-dragons.com/gallery. Although the club is in 4th division, still lot of people go on football matches. http://youtube.com/watch?v=YTIfRHtU9IM <-- video of last year's match against some 'xy club' when we won the 5th division. Not bad for 5th division, huh? |

Just looking at some of the posts.
It'd difficult enough to imagine anyone abroad supporting Heart of Midlothian or Hibernian, but Inverness? ![]() As for Stromness, I didn't even know they had a team! ![]()

From Spain: Numancia and Atletico de Bilbao.
Reasons? Numancia is a small football club, with local players who don't earn big millions (not even small millions) and it has been a pain for the big ones in more than one occasion. Atletico de Bilbao only employs Basque players. No foreigners in it. Mynydd: I don't like football Phlegethon: You are a bad European ![]() Mynydd: Probably, but I try to be a good one ![]()

I forgot to mention before -- apart from Olimpija I like Mura Murska Sobota, a small club from north-east Slovenia, from Prekmurje region, where all my ancestry comes from. My father played for that club when he was young. Mura is one of the most popular clubs here in Slovenia, they were relegated to 3rd division because of financial problems last year, but they still had the highest average attendance in Slovenia, although they played in 3rd division. Olimpija and Mura are friendly clubs. |
