re: More Madrid Backlash (sorry, quote wouldn´t let me enter it)

Yea, but that's because Cubs fans literally have no grasp of what winning feels like. Similar to the Saints for the first 40 years of their history. Now that we won one, the team is expected to go deep in the playoffs every year, and anything less is complete failure.

I just think the sporting culture in Europe is vastly different than in America. Power struggles aren't nearly as cyclic as they are in the United States, and I think that has led to many fans appreciating the pure nature of the sport (aesthetics, entertainment, etc) more than winning, to a certain extent.
