I can´t understand why Jacques´s words for other Juventino´s here haven´t been more beaten down. How can a guy from Sweden say that it disgusts him people are actually rooting for teams that are playing in the competition. I can´t recall our team being drafted this year, so we should all just NOT turn on the TV and enjoy good football? We can´t pick a side when it comes to those games, because we should be oh so busy being true fans to our own football club?
Do you watch your local team in Göteborg play and think all the time that you can´t cheer one of the teems on because neither of them isn´t Juve? What a load of bullshit. Even though Milan have a better record than Juve in the Champions league , it does not change the fact of the matter we aren´t playing in that particular competition. So while my team is striving to end up playing Serie A football next term and then maybe play CL football the season after that, I want to enjoy watching the other teams playing. And I can sure as hell root for whatever team I like. Hell, I´ll say Milan is the most wonderful team on the planet to watch. I don´t fucking care.
It´s not like I live in Turin or that I have Juve directly in my blood, BUT, I still regard myself as a die-hard one and only supporter of a team called Juventus. Neither you nor anyone else can tell me anything else.
Basically what you´re saying is very, very and oh yes Very contradictive.
