Why is Milan called (in other languages besides italian/english) "AC (Milano*)"
*Name of the city - Milano - but in the language we're talking. For example, in Portugal I would say 75% of the newspapers call AC Milan, but the others call "AC Milão" (Milão = Milano in portuguese). In German, once I saw in DSF, AC Mailand or something like this... I must say I hate this. It's MILAN! If it wasn't the club should be called AC Milano by the italians... In bwin.com , our sponsor... on the portuguese version there's always "AC Milão" ... I've sent an email, but I think nothing will change... what a stupidity.

Yes I knew about the English founder and everything, and it was once Mussolini came to power that it became AC Milano. However, after the fall of his fachist regime, the Milano was returned to Milan in honour of the English founder, but the AC remained, and they refrained from restoring the FC.
Barca was also founded by an Englishman too as someone mentioned. |

I particularly feel, and have always felt close to this club for 13 years because I am half British & half Italian, even if I have always lived in England. Also I have 2 Aunties & Uncles that live in Milan who I used to go to see every year. It's a great feeling to be in the same City as my heroes, even if they & my Cousins all support "La Vecchia Puttana". About the Mussolini thing, obviously he was as evil as Hitler so I don't know why I'm surprised, but I can't believe the nerve of the guy - interfering with something that has absolutely nothing to do with him and over something so petty too. At least he was hung in the end (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just noticed, this is my 100th post!!! I'm so proud of myself, it doesn't feel like 9 months ago since I joined here. And signing up here is probably the best thing I've done in the last 9 months! Do I win a prize?
