Spanish football supporters

[smiler]

i know a real madrid 'fan' (they are from asturias, in northern spain, their local team technically is Gijon) and they know EVERYTHING about real madrid, but absolutely nothing about any of the other 19 teams in the spanish league. How many of us could name the barcelona starting 11? He can't. However, ask him about the Real Madrid youth B team and he could talk for hours...

maybe its a spanish thing? you just tend to ignore the rest of the football world?

A bit like being a Man U "supporter"

I was in Bilbao with a big football fan and he knew Vicente but it took a bit of prompting, largely because of my accent..

After a very blank look at first, "Ah.. Bithente.. of course!"

Barcelona fans know nothing outside of Barcelona FC

Are you sure it wasn't your accent that was the problem?!

There is no way any true football fan from Spain over the age of 12 wouldn't have heard of Vicente.

Gus Poyet's more forgivable, though. He left Zaragoza for Chelsea a long time ago and only had a middling international career.

Sounds like plastic fans to me.
