My beloved FC Basel qualified for the UEFA Champions League this week. Today they were matched for the group phase against FC Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, and Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine.
I've followed Basel since the 1980's, when I lived there. Back then, the team was in the Swiss division 2, so I can claim to have followed them since they were really bad.
Here is the Question: what does it mean to follow a team vicariously like this? I mean, I live in another country, never watch their games, and know no other fans.
