Real Madrid is obviously not playing it's home games in Barcelona, that'd be weird. Sporting isn't even Spanish, so them playing their home games in Barcelona would be even weirder! There might be other Athletic's, but the one I know of is Athletic de Bilbao, and if there's one thing I know about Bilbao, it's that it isn't Barcelona.

 

C, Espanyol it is, which I am going to assume is the anti-independence enemy of the Catalans of Barcelona.

[Quasit 955]

C: Espanyol you say.

Ouch, this is a seriously tough one. There is one answer of which I'm at least 70% certain it's wrong, but that's not enough...I'd like a 50:50.

[Quasit 955]

Probably 50:50 can help you out here.

[heywoodu 16,437]

Well, unfortunately the one I was most certain about as being wrong (B) has been removed, so that still makes it hard...I'm not sure there is a term for being obsessed with relaxing noises and there definitely are terms for people obsessed with everything Japanese, so I'm going for A, Japanese culture.
