    We've done this before, and my problem is always "new" countries.

    I've been to Sarajevo, but never to an independent Bosnia-Herzegovina. Does it count or not?

    And do you have to go to the country for the express purpose of watching football?

    Anyway, the places on your "not" list that I could cross off are:
    Portugal, France, Slovenia, Greece and Turkey.

    But there are quite a few on your "watched" list that I can't claim.

      For my list you don't have to have visited for the express purpose of watching football but you do have to have watched a match in that "country" so watching a match in Sarajevo doesn't count for BiH ... on my list ... what's on yours is up to you!

        13 - Watched Football in

        Republic of Ireland
        Northern Ireland
        England
        Scotland
        Wales
        Italy
        Spain
        Holland
        France
        Germany
        Austria
        Estonia
        Croatia

        That makes 40 countries I've yet to see a game in. Of those, Greece is the only country I've ever visited. So football tends to be the main reason for travelling.

            Jorge, I'm surprised you've missed the two Luxembourg-Wales games and the Portugal-Wales game in Chaves.

                I've seen a match in Wales, but it was an English match between two English clubs (2007 Johnstone's Paint Trophy final at the Milennium Stadium). If that counts, I'm on five.

                - England
                - Wales
                - Spain
                - Hungary
                - Germany

                    The last Luxembourg game I was in Sarajevo watching the u21s against Bosnia - the one before coincided with my exams in college - shit excuse I know!

                    As for Chaves, I was aksed if I fancied working on the game - bloody hell, yes, I exclaimed - little did I know it meant working on the coverage as a studio producer back in Wales!

                      By the way, looking at your list, I'm guessing I may well recognise you if I saw you t.o.s.k.?
