Till Death do us part…..

You can pretty much change anything about your life – your partner, your religion, your sex, and with enough money – your physical appearance.

There’s one thing you can never change – the sports teams you support.

Having lived in the Israel, Australia, the US and the UK, I consider myself a fairly eclectic sports fan, with my interests ranging from Cricket, to baseball, rugby, football (soccer), basketball etc.

For the record, here is a list of the teams I support and the reason why.

Because I grew up there is the golden age of Zahi Armeli, Roni Rosenthal (later a Liverpool star) etc
Maccabi Haifa Basketball Club – Refer above, except for the part about a golden age
Liverpool FC – because I grew up in the golden age of Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish etc
Philadelphia 76ers – because I grew up in the golden age of the Dr, Moses Malone etc.
Chicago Cubs – because it was the 1st baseball team I ever saw live, because of Rigley field and because of its tragic history
Israeli National Football team – Always a a true patriot
Dutch National Football team – Because Dutch people are nice and because of its tragic history (refer Cubs above)
Brazilian National Football team – Because of the way they play
Sydney city (formely Eastern Suburbs) Roosters Rugby League Club – Because I used to live in the Eastern Suburbs
Barcelona FC – Favourite city in Spain
; Australian Wallabies (national Rugby Team) – Again – true patriot
Australian National Cricket Team – Ditto
