When you watch matches from a neutral and "unbiased" standpoint do you root for the favorite or the underdog?

I normally side with the underdog. You just never know in any form of recreation so when I see an unexpected outcome I am often left in awe.

If I am not pragmatically hoping that one team, even if it is Inter, wins as to advance Juventus's position further, then I go for the underdog.

I respect teams like Napoli, Udinese, and especially Sampdoria who develop their players and buy honestly. I would take them to win over anyone else besides Juventus. I love Siena too, as they are Juventus's sister-club, but even if leagues that I never watch too often, underdog for me.

In that case I root for the team with the cooler goalkeeper ^^

So you always cheer for Juventus ?

Sometimes the underdog but mostly I just want to see nice goals.

Hm... Gigi is of course always an option. Although if he'd play against a team with Neuer or ter Stegen or Zieler in goal, they'd take precedence

If I don't root for anyone I get bored. I root for the team that has the players I like most, which is mostly decided by whether any young Argentine plays in that team or not

i mostly root for the under-dog

Say for example if Juventus play Madrid who will you support...?

Personally Bayern all the way any given day, so I mostly root for teams that have a player that once played for Bayern

Fair enough...your German bias is noted and accepted...I would do the same with Italian goalkeepers.

Which in turn justify my argument that Gigi is cooler than Casillas....

Always root for the underdog. I mostly like games that end 4-4,4-3,4-5, etc. I like watching rich teams get demolished like ManU and madrid. Cheering for the underdog hurts. I remember I was so sad when totenham lost to madrid.

I never claimed anything else

Why do you always have to 'root' for someone? What about just watching the game and enjoying both teams?

definitely the underdog.. but there are exceptions

because though i am not a fan of their teams i do like to watch arsenal, tottenham, and inter and they are typically not the underdogs..

for most cases though gotta go for the under dogs.
