I think you're being naive if you think those people are just going to pick whoever the most people on here tell them to. Its obviously more so a plea to get more information about teams you don't have any access to. You can read Wikipedia all you want, but that doesn't take into account personal experiences and emotions. Those are what really matter when choosing a team.

Whoa, I seemed to have missed this golden nugget of truth from the Macho Man himself. I may ask for some advice when following a new league, but I wouldn't put my fanhood into another person's hands.

This deserves a...

Randy is having his best posting day of all time. I knew he had it in him.

I was always a national team fan and watched them ever since 98 WC. I was a fan of Thierry Henry and then I watched then 2006 with Arsenal v Barca. Been a Gooner ever since.

So because we used a video game to help learn more about the game and find our future favorite team (for some of us, a long time ago)...we don't know anything in your eyes?

Troll on, my friend. Troll. On.

Yea it really doesn't matter how you came across your club. It's the fact that you get to enjoy supporting a club now and watch them play the beautiful game. Isn't that what it is all about.

You have to have been born in the city in the year the club was found, and their current pitch must have been part of your family's property to be a true fan.

Don't worry, this fricking troll is the worst. That douche has been run out of here before and will be run out again.

Crap. Atlanta doesn't even have a MLS team...and I refuse to support the Silverbacks.

I picked Barcelona way back in Messi's first year because he reminded me of me (height and stuff).

I picked Newcastle because I'm a Steelers fan, and I found a post somewhere on reddit where somebody compared Mag fans to Steeler fans.

I don't have a video game system but I don't care how people decide to choose their team(s). Anyone who does care a lot about that has the potential to be a little off, IMHO.
