After I read this article
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/7560182 (Third email from the bottom), I decided to create this thread.
I am curious as to why you guys like/love the teams that you support. The 2006 World Cup re-introduced me to the soccer world, after not having anything to do with the sport during my teens (There wasn’t a league in my small hometown), and I currently watch any game that I can find (Got to get up at 7 a.m. Sunday to watch Manchester United play Liverpool).
I support two club teams (MLS and EPL), and the U.S. national team because I’m an American.
The MLS team that I follow is the Houston Dynamo. I follow them because they where the first MLS team I ever saw on TV, and they wore Orange jersey’s
. Houston is also the closest team to me (10hr drive) besides Kansas City (6hr drive).
The EPL team that I follow is Manchester United (Call me a glory hunter, I don’t care)
. The reason that I like them is because of the Christiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney incident during the world cup. I was intrigued when I found out they where on the same team. When I got FIFA 07, I decided to play as Manchester United, and from there I started following them in real life. I also have a soft spot for Fulham because of their Americans.
I want to know why you guys support your teams. Do you live near them? Did your parents support them? Or, did you play with them on FIFA? Post and let everyone know.
Oh, and please, please, please don’t turn this into a glory hunter/not a real fan/can’t support more than one team, thread.
