Lol. Very much the same here.

I advise Americans looking for a European team to follow to pick a winner. No need to adopt more pain if given a choice not to.

I will add that it would be nice if folks at least kept in mind that they jumped on a front-runner's bandwagon.

Welp. Man Dhabi finally get that Champions League they've paid so much for.

City in knockouts this year is a combined 16-3. All 3 opponents managed 1-1 draws at home but got destroyed in Manchester.

Pardon me. 17-3.

Well the game isn't in Manchester, so there is some measure of hope.

Too bad it isn't in Paris, then the French security could screw all their fans by keeping them outside the stadium.

I don't know. Harder to identify the man Dhabi fans ahead of the match. Most of them haven't had a chance to change into their new tshirts before so.

Given it's in Istanbul it could be worse.

What is funny is that it's not like there are teams out there that have that kind of $ to put into the team and don't because of silly outdated rules to keep elite teams of old in power. Any ownership with the financial ability to pay for the best, is doing so already regardless of any rules.

I've only met one American City fan that predates the current ownership group.
no *****.. this is surprising to you? See a bunch of Notts County fans here in the states? Plymouth? Swansea?

I've had a few younger people from international backgrounds work for me the past few years. All big soccer fans, all shockingly have loved Barcelona. Why the heck aren't they fans of Cadez or Mallorca??? big puzzler

Simmer down, Blurry. We were having a discussion on American fandom and longevity of rooting interests during the match.

Yes, that's how precedents work.
