# 7 Taking sides in European football/soccer

Most Kenyans were raised playing or watching football and hence it became their favorite sport. The Kenyan football craze is not on Mathare united and the like which play locally. Most Kenyans are crazy about the English premier league.
Some of the favorite English teams for Kenyans are Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal just to name a few. If you hit the streets of Nairobi and do a survey on the percentage of Kenyans who like English football, trust me the results would be very high.

Kenyans usually bet when the teams are playing and also the bars are filled with people drinking their favorite brands as they cheer their favorite team.
The biggest rivalry has been between the Manchester United fans and Arsenal fans.

In that case which team do you support if you love football?
