so to boot you'll no longer be a fair weather soccer fan such as you are now.


Fair weather implies that I only watch it / root for the U.S. when they're winning but jump ship when they're not which is not the case.

And as mentioned before being from SC, there are no MLS teams around, and because I don't like being fair weather I have no intention of just picking one of the well known club powers and start pretending like I'm a fan of them.

eta: I'll be in The Hague on the 12th and I see their club is playing on the 13th so maybe I'll catch that one.

You know what I meant ... I was saying the more you watch the more you will become a FAN OF THE SPORT and just not someone that watches it once every four years. (fair weather fan)

I understand your sentiment on not being able to attach yourself to a club but I can assure you if you watch the matches you will find yourself gravitating to one club or another. There are a lot out their with many different styles. You have the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Seria A, Ligue 1 to start off with.

Given you aren't from there with no connections this becomes a blessing you can be a fan of many teams. I was like this until I noticed that I cared for Liverpool more than any of the other clubs. I was then fortunate enough to make a Liverpool vs Everton Match @ Anfield and that seeled the deal for me and I have been married to LFC ever since.

I do hope you end up watching more and find a club you can call home you will be happier for it(maybe sadder too depending on who you choose)

This works the same for MLS though for my case I have a lot of friends from Houston so that was my natural choice.
