Chelsea is very disliked/hated here because we bought succes and despite all the money never played offensive football under Abramovic. Holland is all about attacking football.

Italian and French teams are perceived as boring and Holland and Germany aren't exactly the best of friends so not much love for German clubs here. The country's filled with Barca lovers. Utd and Arsenal are quite popular as well.

In Bulgaria there are lots of Liverpool fans and of course up there are the likes of United and Barcelona. Chelsea has a good amount of fans too. I was just talking with my mate, that since this Saturday I see people with Chelsea shirts on the street everyday. Always cheer them up even though they are total strangers.

Chelsea is the most supported foreign club in Ghana largely because of Michael Essien and the other African imports circa 2005. There're a lot of passionate fans down here who don't miss a single Chelsea match, which is always available on pay TV. This is my ranking of the most supported foreign clubs in Ghana.

1. Chelsea

2. Manchester United

3. Arsenal

4. Barcelona

5. Liverpool

6. Real Madrid

7. AC Milan

Chelsea fan base here in Malaysia has growth tremendously over the couple of years. Having said that, largest portion still belong to MU & Liverpool with Chelsea & Arsenal come close to 3th and 4th. Speaking of rivalry, unlike in England here in Malaysia we had a typical fans called ABU (Anything but United) & GEMUK/ means fat in Malaysian (Gagasan Excited Manchester United Kalah/ means Excited of MU loss Congress. They consist of all non-united fans who hold lots of hatred towards MU.

In Egypt, Chelsea are fairly popular, I think thanks in part to Drogba who is well known around here. I think we are now joint first in premier league popularity with United here but no where near barcelona and real madrid. They have always been the most popular, even more popular than local teams. Thankfully though City havent amounted to any popularity since there title win so all is good. :D

In Los Angeles area I would say, Barcelona Real Madrid Manchester United Liverpool Chelsea in that order... It really seems that everyone here that is into soccer root for barca though.

I think this is pretty typical of most of the US with maybe AC Milan or Juventus thrown in to the list somewhere. Of course there are still a lot of people who would look at that list and say "who?" just because the don't get football.

In China, there is a big mix, but United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barca are all popular but English football is the most popular.

Well, I live in Miami and there's a huge Hispanic population. Mostly Barcelona + Real Madrid fans with Italian teams in the mix. As for the EPL, I'd say ManU is #1, followed by us.

I don't have many friends who love football, except my best mate who's a fucking Spud. :fainthv9:

Here in Vancouver, Canada there's pretty decent Chelsea support. Still a bit behind Man U, Barca, Real, but we're getting there. We have an official supporters club (trueblues.ca) and back in the 70's the Vancouver Whitecaps did their own version of Blue is the Colour called White is the Colour. So Chelsea support in this area goes back a ways.

In California when I saw Chelsea play Club America in Palo Alto, Chelsea support was semi decent, (though now growing thanks to CL glory) but overall due to the heavy mexican influence there's a lot of Chicharito MU jerseys. When a MU fan looks at me in my Chelsea jersey they say "sorry bout the shirt" and after I flip em' off, I say if English people came here and rooted for the NY Yankees in baseball it's like an American rooting for MU. I tell them they are glory hunters and to suck my junk. Yeah I hate American soccer fans who root for the "yankees" of England.
