I get that you started the thread, and i don't mean to be antagonistic, but it's called who do you follow, not what's your favorite team. People can follow more than one side, there are different kinds of fans. Especially if you come to the sport later in life or there's nary a chance they'll play. Since I love the sport, honestly I don't care who people like or how they watch as long as more Americans are watching and following. I'm pleased to see a bunch of unfamiliar names in this thread.Dummy Hoy said:
Please pick one guys.
Sorry. I have a policy that I'll only waste my time bantering with fans of teams who have at least one international title. Nice try, though, pó de arroz.nolasoxfan said:

I follow many teams. I was in black and white stripes as a baby so my favorite team is locked. If I'm watching EPL or MLS, however, I definitely have rooting interests.

It's all good, except for Newcastle, which is my team.Dummy Hoy said:
I remember a bunch, but I'm just filling in people who really aren't around anymore. Anyone else can come in and put it down. No rush.
I mentioned in the first thread I was looking for just one team. I'll change the title to prevent further confusion.
I'm well aware people can follow more than one side- I do as well, but I certainly don't rate them all the same. I also never suggested that it was a bad thing to root for multiple teams (although at times it can be a bit silly) or that I cared who people root for. I'm also glad to see a bunch of newer names in here. It was just supposed to be a fun exercise, not a commentary on people's rooting habits or an opportunity to flaunt one's purity of fandom and love of the game.
So, you going to pick one team or what?
Dunno if this is Red Sox related or not, but coming into watching this stuff very recently I felt like I couldn't jump into one of those top teams. Just felt too much like someone coming into baseball and saying "Hrmm, I've heard good things about these Yankees".Titans Bastard said:It's interesting that the top three clubs thus far are all English clubs who are perennially above-average but nonetheless have a very distinct close-but-no-cigar profile in recent times. Chelsea and the Manchesters collectively account for the last 11 titles, yet have garnered much less support in the crucial SOSH demographic.
It was clear, I just forgot to mark you down.Jimy Hendrix said:If I didn't make it clear in my first post, Spurs.
The rest was just chatter.

Dummy Hoy already linked me with Feyenoord (and quite rightly so), but I work for the coolest football team in Dublin, Bohemian FC.
If you want to go to a game once you're here, send me a message.

Ha, wish I knew about this a couple of years ago. I was at NUIG and never had any reason to go to a LOI match (watching on Irish language TV was just so thrilling). Are you gonna be at UCD?
For the purposes of this thread -- fucking Newcastle.

As a kid traveling around Norway we were amused by the road signs that said 'farts dempere' with two hills that kinda looked like butt cheeks... Speed bumps.Dummy Hoy said:
"The name means "the football team speed" in Norwegian"
I'm also fascinated by the facct that way more coverage is given to the women's team than the men's on the wiki page.

Arsenal is also a Norwegian word for fart? Makes sense...lars10 said:As a kid traveling around Norway we were amused by the road signs that said 'farts dempere' with two hills that kinda looked like butt cheeks... Speed bumps.
