Who are your first and second favorite teams?

[Aquavit]

I was thinking it might be fun to talk a little bit about our favorite teams. Which team's song do you know by heart? Why do you like that team so much? Who do you especially like seeing your team beat? If everyone employed by your team suddenly decided they'd all rather be accountants than footballers, is there a second team that you'd like to cheer for?

My team of course is FC Bayern Munchen. I got hooked on the lot after watching several of them finish 3rd with Germany in the last World Cup, and I really appreciate how they all just seem to work with such precision, determination, and understanding on the pitch together. None of them (apart from Arjen Robben, who will likely be going away this summer) take on a diva-ish persona either, which is nice given some of the personalities in the game. Teams that are especially fun to see my boys beat include Schalke 04, Dortmund, Chelsea, and Barca!

If all the guys at Bayern decided to go help Uli Hoeness with his tax problems, though, I would support Norwich City. They need a little help up front, but on the whole they play a pretty clean, attitude-free game. They are majority owned by a woman, which is awesome IMO, and they hired a coach last summer who is more or less a socialist.
