Soccer -

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!!

Where in the midwest? My dad goes to every Columbus Crew "Grass Fairy" home game each year and even stops in for some of the US games they hold there.

ah dude, look at my first post and this one again, then see if you still need to ask that question.

I have been to crew statium a few times over the years, the last time when the Nats destroyed Mexico and we qualified for Germany. Don't see myself making it down there too frequently though, as I really don't like yellow.

Soccer is neat!

I'll explain it to those of you who are unsure how it works:

1) Place big white ball anyplace on field.
2) Have members of opposing team run towards ball
3) ***IMPORTANT***
Without actually contacting a)the ball or b)each other, see which person can hit the ground crying like little girl first.
4) Get carried out on stretcher
5) Head back out for next play and repeat above steps until game is declared a 0-0 draw or a shoot the lights out 1-0 hammering.



Actually this is my favourite part of soccer --->
