I'm on a quest, soccer nerds, figs, and homo douchebags.

Six leagues: France, Germany, Spain, Italy, England, MLS.

6 Clubs, one per league. Support them all for a season.

MLS = San Jose, but the rest are toss ups

If you convince me, I'll add another league or two. Scotland, Holland pershmaps, whatevz.

Just a p.s—don't give me that whole "you have to stick with ONE club" bullshite. I don't have to do anything, thank you, so shut your stupid whore mouth unless you are putting a case forth for your club.

I do lean toward teams with Americans, so that helps. Also, I lean away from teams with John Terry or Giuseppe Rossi

Hannover 96 in Bundesliga has Cherundolo if that helps. I love Bayern Munich, but Werder Bremen has some good talent.

That does help. I have a bit of a crush on Dolo after the Cup.

I don't really actively follow any club, but for various random reasons I like Liverpool in the EPL (played a Winning Eleven 9 Master League with them), Inter in Serie A (used to be a fan of Adriano, big fan of Sneijder), PSV Eindhoven in Eredivisie (Beasley used to play for them) and Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga (Bradley plays for them). I don't really favor any one team in Ligue 1 or La Liga.

It should definitely help that Dolo is the captain too.

Liverpool in the EPL. There's a strong chance that Dempsey ends up there, and it could be a really exciting season. Either with play or with drama.

You know I'd say go with Man City, but like the Cubs, once you're invested, you're a loser for life. Hopefully this will be the year.

also, against my case is that De Jong plays for City

LYON LYON LYON




some of the craziest supporters in europe THE BAD GONES (aka bad kids). lyon has been the top club in france this decade. the glory years with juninho just came to an end but with the sale of benzema LYON were able to buy more talent and make their deepest run in the CHAMPS league, knocking off real madrid along the way.

LYON will never be a super power like barca but they have a great SYSTEM in place. they grow a lot of their own talent like BENZ and sell them off while maintaing superiority in ligue 1.

one of the top keepers in europe HUGO LLORIS keeps for us. only thing is SIR ALEX is said to be seeking hugo as his long term replacement for EVS. he's playing at lyon for atleast this year.

claude puel our manager and leader, brings us good talent from brazil...juninho for years along with current michele bastos, cris, caesar delgado, anderson, ederson.

we also have some other ppl you might be FAMILIAR with...lisandro lopez (argentine strike), jeremy toulalan (france CDM, is 26 but looks 46), the black panther himself befatimbi gomis.


you've got a great team, big names, a good farm system that will feed big clubs, GREAT support, and a team you'll be able to see play in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. if the league was stronger following a lesser team might be more interesting. but this is the CREAM OF THE CROP, where the buffalo and the DRIVEMAN ROAM

(how can you SAY that to me)

well, i won't plug rm. how about valencia? yes they lost the davids, but the still have mata and pug-faced ever. their coach is AMAZING!! and they have pretty badass kits. they aren't madrid or barca. they have problems with money, but they are fun to watch.

I'd wait until August to decide. You may have lots of Americans on the move.

Kind of makes me want to be an Anti-Eintracht Frankfurt fan.

England: Arsenal or Bolton (just when StuHawk plays)

Spain: Barcelona or Atletico (for Kun Aguero)

MLS: Philadelphia Union, Houston Dynamo, or Fighting Edson Buddles.

Germany: 1860 Munich for DA COOOOOOOOOOPPPPP! (even if Tyrone Marshall recently caused Da Coop's 3 month injury from 8000 miles away)

Italy: AC Milan if Dempsey goes there, if not none of the above.

Mexico: Pachuca and I think our lord and savior Johnny B is actually going down there.
