Yeah, I think for someone who didn't live in Europe or have foreign-born parents, you're left picking one of the 8 or 9 most successful teams in the world, and when they are so far away and you have no real ties, it's hard to pick a club team.
I grew up watching the national team so there's no comparison for me. It's how I was introduced to the sport overall. I just find it difficult to get that attached to any pro team (soccer or otherwise) that I didn't grow up rooting for. I don't have any real ties to Fulham, I didn't grow up watching them, I don't go to the games, etc. I would continue following them even if they were relegated, but it's not like Alabama football/basketball, the national team, etc.

Yeah, exactly. It's one of your secondary teams.
I'm the same way. I support the colleges I attended, the countries I am a citizen of, LSU since I grew up in Baton Rouge for my entire childhood, the Saints, and Fenerbahce.
Even the Pelicans are a casual team for me since they came to the state when I was 17, and I left the next summer. If I picked another European side, they would be at best like the Pelicans (although a much more competitive side).
