My Favourite football club team is Machester United. I have come to regard the team players nothing short of demigods. It is not their skill with the ball which impresses me. There are difinitely great touch artists being churned out by the dozens especially from Brazil and Argentina. Ronaldinho and Tevez are carrying on the tradition. It is not their charasmatic captain who i like. In fact many a time it is difficult to judge from the playing XI who the captain is. Whereas the Italian or Latin American club or team captain is immediately 'visible' on the ground. It is not because of the coach that i like ManU. Sir Alex Fergusson is definitely not the best tactitian or knowledgeable about the game. But what i like about ManU is the NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE and the GIVE IT YOUR ALL attitude!! You can see exceptional teamwork in the buildups and the finishes...and you can see the entire team striving for that win in the last few minutes of the game. In fact one of the most dangerous teams to be trailing 2-1 with 5 minutes to go in a big game would be ManU. You can rest assured that the story is not over and there is a twist waiting to happen (well most of the time)
