Just got back from vacation and I am happy to find this thread.
I casually follow the EPL and Championship league (esp teams with Americans on them), La Liga, Seria A, and, to a lesser extent, the dutch, german and Mexican leagues. But I would only really consider myself a fan of MLS. Yes it is shitty soccer, yes the team names are a joke, and yes the league is run by a bunch of losers with very little exception (the exceptions sadly lost a good one recently-RIP Lamar Hunt). But being an American who loves soccer, I got to root for the home country league. I don’t understand American soccer fans that disparage the MLS but are fanatic about European soccer. It is reminiscent of fake english accent. With that said I would gladly sacrafice a pig or something if I thought it would help Watford avoid relegation.
Favorite team-NE Revolution. I have seen at least 4 Revs home games each season. Don’t think that I will continue that streak after moving to the Midwest. But I will never allow myself to root for the Fire.
Favorite Player-American-probably C. Dempsey, but really we are still such a small soccer nation that any I like US player that represent in a good manner.
Favorite Overall- .
Favorite Ever-As a defender I have to go with the .
Finally, Studio-congrats on the win!!
