Being from the US and old enough to where soccer was NOT taught in gym class, which Spanish team claims the Galicia area as its "own?" I wish to be respectful to the locals.

I watched the same match in Arzua, while eating the best menu peregrino I've ever had. Not a bowl of soup, but a pot of soup. Not a portion of chicken, but a whole chicken. The downside was that the Barca fans were playing their anthem from a car radio all night outside my hotel room.

For that we were something special and also have all the drinks for the whole evening for free. A lot of joking, laughing etc., such a nice evening I simply can not forget it.

Nah. When you and I went to the matches there it was about the equivalent of £8. That was the same as going to Wolves, who were languishing in a half- closed stadium against second rate teams. We saw UEFA Cup matches for the same price.

Al the optimist said:Enough about Wolves! Look where I am from!

I think you would annoy them more with a Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund one!
