For me, I have to say I have a soft spot for a couple of teams from a few places, just based on sentimental stuff...
FC Basel - A mate of mine is from Basel, had a great night out on the town with him there, being an Aussie among football supporters was great, they all love Scot Chipperfield there. Even saw a Wollongong Wolves scarf in one pub! So I'm an FC Basel man when it comes to Switzerland.
Partizan Belgrade - visited family in Belgrade, found the place strangely alluring. Partizan were playing Newcastle that night, and the city was buzzing... always look out for their results.
Besiktas - on a bus trip in Turkey, was befreinded by a couple of Turks who wanted to know what football team I followed in Turkey. Wanting to avoid Galatasaray and Besiktas in Istanbul (where I was coming from), I plumped for Besiktas... which caused a great deal of disgust from my new Turkish friends. Good laugh though, trying to talk football in Turkish!
River Plate - Fell in love with Buenos Aries, and used to wear the white with red sash in our ill-fated indoor soccer team when I was younger.
Fluminense - Loved Rio too, went to a game at the Maracana to see Flamengo play. Flamengo played rubbish, and I can't stand any team in black and red, so I went for their hated rivals!
