From: The Scrutineer on
Sorry for wasting a thread, but I'm Daniel, born and bred Australian, with
European heritage!!!

22 years old, currently a student, and a real passionate football fan, which
I can easily say is by far the most interesting most loved thing in life for
me (outside of the way a female is put together).

As some of you may know by now , yes I am an Arsenal fan, and generally
speaking have an interest in global football issues/leagues as we don't have
the strongest football locally, that though hopefully changing one day, and
maybe the best come here to play in a World Cup one day, (Which we can be
ready for at any time!!!)

I am relatively young compared to what I think some of you may be aged :),
but it's refreshing to read all contributors comments, and value each of
your opinions very highly!!! I know I can't always be right, but when I am,
I'm generally modest about it, and when wrong, accept being so and value the
correction highly.

Hopefully it's not asking a lot, but I would like to know, if someone
replies, a brief introduction about yourself, nationality, age, favourite
team, and maybe even your favourite player ever!!! Hell even a World Cup
tip!!!

Nice to indulge in football chat with you all, and hopefully for a long time
to come!!!

Well, Daniel, it's nice to chat with you too.
My handle is my real name, and I'm born and bred here in Porto
Alegre, Brazil.
I'm an Internacional fan and also have a favorite club in several
countries.
I'm 31, married and have two little children and my favorite former
player is Paulo Roberto Falcão (favorite, the best was obviously Pelé)
and of the current crop, whoever is playing for Internacional. :-)

Tchau!

My favourite team is Manchester United. I love football, and I try and
go to games wherever I am in the world (and collect jerseys). This
means I have local club 'favourites' from many countries, but when
push comes to shove, I only really care about United.

Favourite players from the past are Maradona and van Basten. As far as
current players go, different players catch my eye at different times
(Milla, Hagi, Baggio, Romario) and I consider myself lucky to have
seen all of them play. Carlos Tevez comes closest among current
players.

Come summer, I'll be supporting Argentina, <daylight>, Netherlands,
<daylight>, the Minnows.

Welcome!

It's good to have another United fan on the NG.

Thank you for being courteous, good health to you and your young family, and
an interesting choice in Falcao, just one of many coming out from the
factory of aces!!!

Now, if I may, just how will Sandro cope in the EPL? Some really big money
involved in his transfer to the bad half of North London :) so the pressure
will be on, and can he compete with the established duo of Palacios and
Huddlestone?
