>ITT we list teams not owned by a head of state or oilrich camel jockeys

Never claimed to be part Italian, just thought I'd pick a Euro team to get things started. Here's the best example in the NFL:

>4 Super Bowl appearances in a row
>lost all of them

Clermont Ferrand rugby club

Top 14 champions: 2010

Top 14 finalist: 1936, 1937, 1970, 1978, 1990, 1994, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2015

Euro Cup finalist: 2013, 2015

Clermont is synthesis of french rugby

Toronto Maple Leafs in Canada

Does a club dying count as eternally choking?

>2nd place 8 times in the last 16 years

They deserve it, the stabbing bastards.

The New England Revolution

Even though Gaelic football is a tiny sport by international standards, Mayo deserve to be a worldwide meme.
>they are consistently one of the strongest teams in the country
>haven't won an All-Ireland since 1951 despite coming from Connacht, by far the weakest province (think division)
>have just 3 titles
>have been runners up 11 (eleven) times
>have the most obnoxious fans in the country (google "Mayo 4 Sam")
>lost in the final in 1996 and 1997
>lost in the first round in 1998 to Galway, their biggest rivals, who went on to win the whole competition
>got to the final in 2004 and 2006, and were beaten horribly both times by Kerry
>most recent final defeat was in 2013 when they lost by one point to Dublin, and their captain missed a point blank free kick
>they have refballed and flat track bullied their way to this year's final, playing lower division teams
>in two weeks time they will play Dublin and choke AGAIN

The lulziest part is that butthurt Mayo fans blame it on a curse. This curse only started being talked about in the 90s because they were anally ravaged by Galway winning the cup. They claim Mayo can't win until all the 1951 team is dead, and now there's only one of them left. That's right - Mayo fans are such pieces of shit that they actively wish death on the players that have ever actually won them anything.

Every county in Ireland has a nickname:
Dublin are the Jacks
Kerry is the Kingdom
Cork are the Rebels
Galway are the Tribesmen
Kilkenny are the Cats etc.

Mayo's main nickname (look it up) is "Mayo, God help us"

You made me a believer - I googled Mayo for Sam and I lost my Internet connection for a few minutes.

>Tour de France

>visiting Gaza?
>why not use the humanitarian crisis to plug your shitty Gaelic football team?

I have now been culturally enriched - I wish I'd known about Mayo when I was in Ireland for a couple weeks a decade ago. Fun times, that trip.

Most London clubs
Their titles would suggest otherwise.

both intern and roma belonged to oilrich billionaires.
But they were utter trash and moratti had to greatly overspend the competition to win a single scudetto and a single champions league.

they are just shit.

>tfw when you're at the darts and you've gone five minutes without telling people you're a Mayo fan

This article has all of the highlights

Number 3 is the best. They literally force every minor celebrity that comes through their airport to pose with Mayo 4 Sam shit.

It's like if English fans went around literally everywhere with signs saying "It's coming home"

Nobody can compare.

They're in a shit situation. They only field Mexicans, other clubs know this and sell them at an inflated rate to Cruz Azul since they can't do jack. Also, everyone around them is bringing in players from other countries that are on another level.

You're confusing them with Chivas.

Cruz azul brings a lot of foreign players.

Whats Offaly's nickname?
t. Clara

The Faithful County

...

MYPA with one win and five second places (four in a row) seems to be as bad as it has ever gotten in Finland.

>Schalke
and Neverkusen

That's not Flamengo

So who is Sam?
And what connection do they have with mayonnaise?

DAJE ROMA

>DAJE ROMA

Question is probably sarcastic, but the main Gaelic football trophy is the Sam Maguire Cup. It's often just called Sam for short, like if Americans called the Super Bowl trophy Vince.

The whole country

Is that club really portuguese or is it just a meme and it's simply supported by favelados surrounding the stadium, and no actual tugas?

As for our league, pic related.

Same. Not runners up in anything, but eternal chockers.

Both, also Vasco is second big major soports in Rio and about 4 or 5 in Brazil. Tugas created the club, most tugas is vascaino but not all of them.
