my first taste of the champions league was when leeds went on that crazy run so i got hooked. 2002 world cup sealed the deal, then we proceeded to suck inordinate amounts of AIDS dicks.
so i still love leeds but have adopted the toffeemen of everton. i jumped on the everton train when they had that great year after selling rooney and qualified for the champions league. plus moyes and roberto are two of my favorite managers so that helps too and their is always an american connection it seems
i grew up in south tx so i always had access to t he mexican league, so i have a soft spot for cruz azul.
fell in love with river plate following the libertadores when they had that sexy arse team with d'alessandro, aimar, juan pablo angel, etc.
i support both the USMNT and scotland because my mom is from scotland. for this reason i also like hearts.
tl; dr- leeds is my favorite team but they suck walrus dick and so i have grown to love everton as well, 'murica, COME ON SCOTLAND

I don't pull for any club in particular, there are clubs that I pull against but it changes from week to week. I just want to see anarchy in the table and ppl melting when their entitlements don't arrive.
If Louisiana fielded an MLS team I would support fully as long as they branded it tastefully and didn't pack it full of Mexicans.

The 2014 World Cup was amazing. Hate waiting every 4 years. Wanted more soccer. So I needed a team in EPL. Couldn't choose Arsenal, Man U or Man City because then I felt like I'd be jumping on the bandwagon. So I picked Crystal Palace. Middle of the pack team and I've yet to meet another fan.

He's a total glory hunter. Should've picked a team that doesn't win all of the time and is less bandwagon like Chelsea.

Because outside of my career and the woman I married, I usually make horrible life choices.

I pull for palace when they aren't playing Sunderland. I got heavily into bpl like a lot of people when it became more readily available a few years ago. They had just been promoted and watched a lot of matches of theirs especially as they went on runs both years. Imagine I will watch even more when we get relegated this year.

I was in Argentina several years ago and wanted to visit boca juniors and see the Maradonna murals, etc. so I stopped a cab a pretty good ways away where I was staying. I asked the guy in my best Spanish to give me a ride to la Boca, he asked me why a tourist would ever want to visit that place and asked why; when I told him he pointed at his River Plate medallion hanging from his rear view, cursed me in Spanish, refused my fare and sped off. They take their football seriously.

FIFA 64. I also had an overinflated ball kicked into my face when I was 6 so that may have also influenced my love for United.

Was watching Football randomly and happened to be the 2000 tottenham spurs game, where united were down by 3 and scored 5 in second half. Became a huge of them since then. Did not even know the league before that.

Because I liked their colors? I didn't know wtf was going on with overalls on Fifa when I was 14. That was literally how I was introduced.
Lol it gets me how people are so butthurt about City.

This thread is fricking hilarious. Bandwagon fans calling other people bandwagon or fair weather fans.
"No dude my story about how I played with them in FIFA is legit but the team having your high school colors is a bullshite reason."
You're all fair weather fans. Get over yourself.

How many more years do we have to go without winning a league title for this to stop being a thing?
It is like calling Cowboy's fans bandwagoners.

Started to think that soccer "wasn't just for GAYS" around my sophomore year of high school (after playing FIFA a few times, of course) and started watching EPL. My dad is from Boston and I like the Red Sox so I thought it would be appropriate to root for the team that FSG had recently bought. Thought I had lucked out having a somewhat-but-not-really legitimate reason to root for a historically successful club but then the last several years happened. Such is life.
I like to follow Liverpool but I don't get the obsession some of y'all have with pulling for a team all the way in Europe. Not being a hater, it's just not for me. Also don't like having to sometimes schedule my day around watching a game at a weird time in the US. Is anyone else like this?
I like the USMNT as much as any team I root for though. College football is far and away my favorite sport to watch and always has been but I'm about as vigilant about watching USMNT games as I am Ole Miss games, although the disappointment caused by the two combined will likely make me go nuts one day.

I may have gotten more obsessed with Arsenal than any other one of my favorite team's outside of the Grizzlies.

I just DVR every game on the weekends. Plus Live Extra usually has the games up at some point later in the week.
