Hello Supporters !

Hello all,


Considering the below two teams are my favorite ones, I would like to focus more on them for the moment.
In today's post I want to write more about emblems and symbols.


I will start with RAFC:

How did the Red and White dream started?


Royal Antwerp is the oldest football clubs in Belgium and one of the oldest in the world.


They are "born" in 1880 and they were the first football club to register to the Belgian Football Association. Consequently, RAFC received the matriculation number 1 !


The colours adopted by the team are the colors of the Province of Antwerp ( made of three horizontal stripes: red - white - red ).


If it would be to analyze from the symbolic point of view of the color meaning, we can say the team is characterized by the following attributes:


>  Excitement, energy, passion, love, desire, speed, strength, power, heat, aggression, danger, all things intense and passionate => coming from the RED color;


> Reverence, purity, birth, precision, youth, good => coming from the WHITE color.

As a mascot of the club we have the cool, "mean" and in the same time sweet :"Mr. English bulldog"!

Stay tuned, STEAUA will follow!

This is the diary of a supporter...Part 2 ! STEAUA



Hello supporters,

If in the first post I wrote about the team and the  fan club I consider to be the coolest, now I want to write a few lines about my heart team: 
FC Steaua Bucureşti !

This is the team that managed to amaze his supporters and not only at the European Cup Final from 1986, that was disputed at Seville.The hero of the match was Helmuth Duckadam who wrote his name in the annals of football history by saving each penalty he faced:

The club is also known as the Romanian Army sport club.
It was founded in 1947 and since then it is one of the most loved, hated, popular and controversial sport club in Romania.
Steaua has an impressive fan club and the supporters are the dream of any team! :)

This is only a small part of what Steaua is and we will discover on the way more things about them and about other great names from the football's World!

Enjoy the trip,
Alexandra & Philippe.

The diary of a supporter! ROYAL ANTWERP

Hello supporters,
 
I would like to start my review with the coolest football supporters club (in my opinion): 
THE SUPPORTERS OF ROYAL ANTWERP!






Royal Antwerp is a team from the second division in Belgium (if you didn’t heard about them already).

Indeed, the second division and even if the team had ups and downs over the time, the supporters are still there with them doing their job and doing it WELL!

It's impossible not to admire the Belgian Red Army, it's impossible even if they are found in the rival team's tribune! :)
Ask Bristol supporters!
The club was founded in 1880 and since those times the supporters are enchanting  everyone with their frenetic rhythms, like: "Let's go f. mental" !

I am a Romanian  supporter of a Belgian team and this is possible only because their name crossed countries and seas!

So people, "let's go f. mental" and enjoy a travel through the stories of the most interesting fan clubs in the WORLD!



Enjoy the trip!
Alexandra & Philippe.
