    Countries you've seen football in: up to 106...

    Outside your home country, which ones have you attended a proper match in? I don't include watching your own home club in continental competition or friendlies, but going along and sitting in the home (or away, I suppose) end of a match you're actually a neutral at. If people respond enough I might have a go at making some sort of map of countries OTF has watched games in, or something.

    I'm defining 'home' country to be the one you were born / grew up in, the on you'd give as your answer if someone asked you what nationality you were, rather than the one you now live in - so Ursus, for instance, can have Italy as one of his (I'm assuming many) foreign ones.

    I'll start.
    - Argentina
    - Germany
    - Hungary
    - Spain
    - Uruguay

    I'll be adding Portugal, Mexico and possibly Italy before the end of this (European) season.

    I'm sure you will win this, Sam!

            I shouldn't have counted England should I, as that's my home country.

            So it's just:

            Wales.

            I've turned down the opportunity to go and see games in Ireland, Czech Rep and Italy at various times if that counts for anything.

                            USA*1
                            England
                            Latvia
                            Estonia
                            Sweden
                            Finland*
                            Lithuania
                            Netherlands

                            *Not my team.
                            *1 Saw George Best score 'that' goal for San Jose Earthquake in 1981. *2 Saw Valencia hump Barca 4-2 in the Nou camp. So not bad neutral choices.

                                Small world. I was there too. The best goal I've ever seen live.

                                An attempt at my list that may not be complete; it also raises the issue of my "having seen football" in a number of countries that no longer exist:

                                Canada
                                England
                                Scotland
                                Wales
                                Republic of Ireland (sorry, Dunc, never made it to a game in Ultonia)
                                Sweden
                                Finland
                                Denmark
                                USSR (but no current independent states)
                                Belgium
                                The Netherlands
                                West Germany (and Unified Germany, but not the DDR)
                                Switzerland
                                Austria
                                Hungary
                                Romania
                                Czechoslovakia (but not the Czech Republic or Slovakia)
                                Yugoslavia (but no current independent states except Slovenija)
                                Greece
                                Turkey
                                Italy
                                France
                                Spain
                                Portugal

                                I expect that garcia, jorge porbillas or cubillas will win this, as they have been to quite of a few "new UEFA members" that I haven't gotten to.

                                    "Wales" doesn't count unless it's a LoW or Welsh FA Cup game, surely?

                                    Scotland
                                    Germany

                                          Not very impressive considering the amount of traveling I did in my 20's.
