From what I have read...since Hull were relegated the loss of income from being in the EPL basically guarantees them of not extending Jozy's loan.

This. Exactly how I became an Everton fan this year. I'm a Real Salt Lake fan in MLS, largely due to Beckerman...

Check out the tier 1 teams that don't win it (I.e. Arsenal, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Man City). They're great football teams but they aren't Chelsea or Manu douches.

MLS? Go local, idk. LA Galaxy! Landon Donavan!

????? Why include Liverpool in that group? A team that hasn't won anything domestically (of importance) in 20 years should not be considered bandwagon. No matter how successful their past was.

Arsenal......the Gunners play some beautiful football

Houston Dynamo........hey, they're the closest to Louisiana

If you have trouble, you can find some EPL teams below and just decide from there.

MLS - Sounders ... 35,000+ for every match; best atmosphere in the MLS ... I picked them because the were the expansion team when I first started following the MLS and my mom's family is from Washington.

EPL - Spurs ... I started watching EPL this season for the first time and like their attacking style and began to pull for them about a third of the way through the season. They were also able to pull out fourth place and a Champions League spot for next year.

Tottenham Hotspur FTW

I have no opinion on an MLS side, though I may jump on the Portland Timbers bandwagon here soon

That's why I became a Liverpool fan when choosing a EPL team a few years ago. I wanted a team that was "good", but not elite (i.e. Chelsea/Man U). Plus, I really liked to watch Gerrard/Torres, so it was an easy choice.

I'm thinking of changing my allegiance to Everton soon (yes, I know, a Liverpool fan switching to Everton? BLASPHEMY!). The video of the Liverpool fans burning the US flag is disappointing (I know, you can't judge the whole fanbase on a few [I couldn't be an OSU fan, if some of the videos of us represented everyone, lol], but it doesn't help). Then you have the fact that either (or both) Gerrard and/or Torres could be sold, which was the reason I became a fan of theirs in the first place, and the possible financial mess.

As for why I'd choose Everton, if they can manage to sign Landon, that'd give them two Americans. Not just two Americans, but two of my favorite (and the best) Americans. And they're again of the role that they're "good", but not "elite". And since I'm not from England (and, while I cheered for Liverpool, I wasn't hugely emotionally invested in them or anything) the fact that they're rivals doesn't really affect my decision.

I startedfollowing EPL last year and for no real reason, latched on to Hull City. I guess I liked Bullard (when he was healthy) and the fact that they were the Tigers. It sure wasn't because they won a lot of matches!!!

Then they had to go and get relegated. Might check out one of the new promotions. Maybe Everton, maybe Newcastle. Basically have to start all over.

Won't pick a MLS team because watching MLS after a weekend of watching the EPL is agonizing. Such a disparity in talent...

this. i just watched all of the matches i could.. i really wanted Fulham to be my team at first, but i was drawn to Tottenham..

my MLS team is Houston, because i lived there when they were the champs, and them and FC Dallas are the only teams ive seen in person.. and frick Dallas..

best thing for the OP to do is just watch all he can.. his teams will find him..
