Soccertards, need help picking a team

Just my opinion, but I think both La Liga and EPL are easier to watch than Serie A, based on the style of play. However, La Liga doesn't have as many games broadcast on television. Serie A is on FSC over the weekend, so it's easy to follow.

If you want an MLS team, just pick one and go with it. Since you are in Florida, you are kind of screwed geographically. How about Houston Dynamo or DC United? I guess those are your closest teams and both have good support.

As for the EPL, I don't have a team either. If you don't want to be like everyone else, go for Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa. Villa has an American owner, and neither team is going to go out and spend 500 million bucks on players like Manchester City (potentially).

If for some strange reason you follow Turkish soccer one day, please do not root for Galatasaray or Besiktas.

If you're looking for an EPL team I reccomend looking outside the major teams, although I think arsenal are on the verge of becoming a 2nd tier team. Also it would probably be beneficial to choose a team that won't face relegation. I personally pull for Fulham and Everton. I would stay away from serie a. FC Porto can always use extra supporters and we'd be happy to have you aboard

which team did you end up liking more in the tot/man city game? start from there imo... gotta watch for yourself and make your own choice really

Watch the World Cup. Pick some players you like from other countries. Follow their club teams when the news season starts in August.

This.

Teams of note:
EPL:
Chelsea- my EPL team, I lucked into following a team that got Mourinho two years later. Lots of annoying players though (Alex, Deco, Ballack, the two Coles), but some great ones as well.

Man U- Wear red, their manager is extremely annoying ("Typical Germans"), have Rooney.

Arsenal- Red, Wenger's worse than Ferguson (United's manager), given money by Arabs, full of short players.

Liverpool- Red, no money (for now), manager might be leaving, best player (Torres) is going to leave, "You'll never walk alone"

Tottenham- "Jewish", good players, manager is insane.

Man City- Arab, good players, manager might be gone, bandwagonner's flavor of the year

SPL(if you're going to watch this, don't expect the highest quality):
Celtic: Catholic, Irish, Nationalist, on-off relationship with the IRA, "You'll never walk alone", the team I support
Rangers: Protestant, English, chant "F the Pope"

La Liga:
Barcelona: great team, great players (Messi), great manager
Real Madrid: great team, great players (C Ronaldo), manager might be gone

Serie A:
Internazionale- Milan, Mourinho, CL finals, great defense and players
AC Milan- Milan, have been better in the past, Beckham's Euro team
Roma: Rome, not completely insane
Lazio: Rome, called "Nazio"
Juventus: Turin, getting new manager, stadium the fans hate

Bundesliga:
Ask Hendo

Ligue 1 (my bias shows here):
Lyon- Perfection if Puel is murdered tomorrow
Marseilles- Champions for this year
PSG- Paris
Bordeaux- About to be raided by the EPL and La Liga

Perks - not many fans here in the states, so you won't have to deal with annoying douches.
-- they're in the Champions League final to be played May 22.
-- Bastian Schweinsteiger
-- Arjen Robben

Pick a team with an American on it. I'd recommend Fulham or Everton in the EPL (easiest league to follow).

For US football, don't worry about following an MLS team. Pick one with a player you like or a stadium you could get to in driving distance, but support the closest geographic club in any league (USL, USL 2, etc)

I just noticed this thread.

here ya go,

here is some resource information

WEST HAM!!

Solid team that is now owned by a lifelong FAN of the team!

ETA: I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if you already picked a team.
