Fan for a Match: AaB Aalborg

I was searching around for a team to support in this week’s installment of Fan for a Match and I wasn’t having much luck finding a club with an interesting story or one in desperate need of the almighty powers this support imposes. A bit stumped, I took out my handy dandy phone book with listings of all the teams in the world and picked the first name listed: AaB Aalborg.

It was a brilliant marketing decision on their part to make their club name heavy of the ‘a’. It was also brilliant for them to design their logo to include a pair of breasts. I’m hooked already.

Aalborg Boldspilklub is the club’s official name but thankfully for those who spend their days typing most people simply call them AaB. The team does its battle in the Danish Superliga. Those familiar with American soccer might know that defender Danny Califf is on the current AaB roster, as are Brazilians Caca and Chrys. The team currently sits in 4th place in the 12-team league and is on the road Sunday to take on 7th-place Esbjerg fB, who are the team I hate most in the world this moment.

I’ve had two winning weeks in a row with my Fan for a Match selections and am confident that the phone book friendly side from Denmark won’t let me down. If you would like your team to benefit from the intenseness that is known as Fan for a Match support, drop me a line at bob [at] theoffside.com. I announce the selection each Thursday and brag about the wins or cry about the losses on Monday.
