You should watch the Euros if you aren't already.

Hannover 96, for Dolo's sake.
I don't really have a Bundesliga team, but, if I did, it would be Hannover 96.

I went with Tottenham
When I decided a few years back to start following the EPL, I jumped on Wikipedia and learned as much I could about the league and then started looking at the teams. I wanted a team outside of the Big 4. I narrowed it down to Everton, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. I liked watching Spurs the most and I really liked the team crest and name. The rest is history.

I'd advise waiting until Spurs get a new stadium before going over there to see a game. White Hart Lane is pretty terrible and in the worst part of London.

Hertha was relegated and will be in the second division next season.
Bundesliga is awesome though. Find a team
You're kidding! It's just sad that Berlin can't support a top tier team.
So...Hamburger SV? I've been there.
Posted on 6/15/12 at 2:12 pm to GeauxUtes
Makes no sense for Berlin to be shitty. Huge city that's pretty cool as well.
Hamburg finished one spot ahead of the relegation zone last season, not a very good squad.

Schalke 04. Fanatical fan support that's on par with an SEC school
Posted on 6/15/12 at 2:24 pm to Draconian Sanctions
Schalke is going to be good next year too. I didn't suggest them because he seems like a Northern/Eastern Germany kind of guy.
Gelsenkirchen is pretty west.

My reason is pretty ghey.
For generations, my family has played a very assisting card game called Liverpool Rummy. As kids, we grow up wishing we could play and once we're old enough, we play it just like our parents did. Anyway, I started watching soccer in 1994 when the World Cup was in the U.S. I bought the FIFA game for super Nintendo and started going through the teams. I saw Liverpool and instantly had a connection.
tl:dr Robbie Fowler was my bro.

I lived in Lyon for two months during a study abroad program. Ergo, Olympique Lyonnais and France.
Wish I had an EPL team I cared about, but I just can't bring myself to make an arbitrary choice.

So what year did you graduate from the Law Center?

Just did. Odds are fairly good that we know one another
Edit: And to be fair, that post was for brevity. My first international experience was in France at a relatively early age. Study abroad was my third France trip to date, so where that was the birth of my Lyonnais following, I had supported French national teams prior to that.

Not jumping out at me. I've only seen clips, not the entire thing. That said, we had three Joshs and only one with my initials, so I'm not really hiding

I'll look at Feyenoord and Nijmegen Eendacht Combinatie too.
I went to a Nijmegen game, against AZ. Ask me questions if you are interested in the team.

I pull for Denmark since I have a couple of friends from there. In anything that doesn't involve the US of course.
