In my humble opinion the "real" fans on this forum will still be here chatting away and supporting Juve next season even if Juve are relegated.

Oh my god, how do you come to such a ridiculous, unpredictable conclusion ?!?! :D

We are all 'glory hunters', the simple fact we chose the best team in Italy (statistically) to support and not Brescia or Como. Let's be honest, if Brescia had the same status and dominance as Juventus has, you would be supporting them instead 99% of you here (including me)
To be honest, it's quite easy to understand why football fans from around the world would choose a club such as Juventus over Brescia. The first European football match I watched on television was a Juventus match, and that is how I became a fan of this club. For fans in other parts of the world it's nearly impossible to become a fan of a side such as Brescia because they're rarely televised and media exposure is rather slim, so of course people like us wouldn't become a fan of them. Is there anything wrong with that? Well, the only thing wrong about that is how calcio moderno shows its ugly face.

the fact that i never saw him supporting another team one bit. there were loads of people with barca avatars before the final etc while i never saw seven doing anything of the sort. and he's arguably one of the most passionate here when it comes to juventus. and the fact that he knows more about juventus than most of people.

If you really wanted you could (with difficulty) get brescia's matches, but in the phase of searching for a team, its doubtful you had even heard of them. and now youre caught with juve. But thats why the big teams have the large fan bases.....

speak of yourself.. I started supporting Juventus because I was a fan of Baggio, I didn't have any clue then what is Juventus or Brescia (no satelite recievers then or Internet in my country), after little research I supported his club then, and stick with it since then, at those time I didn't even knew Juventus was the biggest club in Italy..

Well thats the syndrome of being a big club, your stars get television time so therefore people get attracted to your club.

Jeeks and Fli: I never see the difference between you guys since both your name are blue and you've got the same avatar.

You guys are virtual look-a-likes

I didn't know there was one, but looking more closely, it seems that the flags don't move to the same spots...
I wont try to find out more, my eyes are already tired, damn exams..

The first team I ever started to support was Djurgården here in Sweden, since I played in their youth team. I've sticked to them ever since.

In Europe however, I'm a hardcore glory hunter.
