Manchester united have a big following outside the uk in ireland because george best used to play for them and outside the british isles because theyre rich and famous.
Australia has a big tradition of following tournaments we're not in. Last world cup was the first time I got to cheer an Aussie side, yet I faithfully stayed up watching world cup matches at 3am - 5am supporting Sweden, Holland, Italy or Brasil or even England depending on what the circumstances were.
Additionally, why would Manchester United have such a huge following outside England? Beautiful football doesn't need parochialism to be interesting and exciting.
your profile says you come from the United Kingdom, so there was a big change that was England. You should of watched the T&T and England game on ESPN they had 3 in the commentary box and the Americans in my opinion butchered the commentary, by the way I love watching your Blue Square Premier more entertaining than the EPL in my opinion
Im assuming this is australian. Why would an australian have any interest in a football tournament (cricket, rugby and aussie rules being the big sports in australia) involving european teams only?
what's the song they play when it is showing the match times? does anyone know?

Doesn't change the point that one doesn't need a team from one's area in a competition to pick a team and support it.

I think your under estimating the world game, Euro is huge all over the world, why would you be interested in Euro2008 when England did not quailify
