Who Do You Support?

Posted: Aug 29 2006, 02:40 AM

So what Soccer team does everyone support?

I know a few (Bettia, Starblaydia) But what about everyone else?

Personally, I'm a fan of Bristol City who currently play in the Coca Cola League one in England.

Favorites for promotion the past few seasons but doing as miserable as ever at the moment. Anyone else into soccer/football and have a team they support?

I'm a Liverpool fan, hoping for them to get their first league title since I was very very little, while I also like to check Derby County out, as theirs was the first Premiership ground I went to. Bradford City's results interest me as that's where I went to University and, finally, I go and see Macclesfield Town as they are in the dubious position of being my local League team - but only just - who will surely be propping up BCFC this year as per usual, if not being relegated.

My favorite club football team is Inter Milan. As far as Engalnd is concerned I've decided to become a West Ham United supporter. Come on you Hammers. Maybe if I ever get to England (unlikely) I'll get too a game. One of my good friends here in Japan is a Leeds fan, so I guess I'll root for them too.

I don't support football much. In theory I'm a Tottenham fan.

Yeah, that sounds about right

BTW - in case anyone doesn't know, I support Bristol Rovers, who are currently scraping a living in England's basement division.

Good choice.

Aside from the Leeds bit of course.

Sounds like Bettia. I can't believe there's a second Rover's fan around here. Or anywhere else . . .

Chelsea all the way! And, no, I am not a bandwagoner. I've been cheering the Blues on for almost a decade, thank you very much.

In the Italian Serie A, I cheer on AS Roma. In the Spanish liga I don't really care either way, though if Barcelona and Real Madrid met in a match I'd probably cheer on the former.

Unclassy choices all.

I chose to feel my footballing pain with pure evil in the form of a soccer team, also known as Arsenal. Of course, that's BEFORE I read Fever Pitch and knew exactly what the hell I was getting myself into.

And because I'm a stupid American git, of course, I happily annoy others with my support of the mockingly-named DC United, who just so happen to be tearing it up this year.

Man Utd all the way in the EPL, but down in the lonely isle of the MLS, go FC Dallas!!!

As Americans, my husband (ASMV for the few of you who do not know this yet) and I are litterally football (soccer) deprived. The MLS sucks. And thank God for FSC. There are no club teams close enough to watch play so we make do with coaching kids in a tiny little league.

But thanks to FSC and GolTV we do get to watch matches on TV. Bolton Wanderers is our favorite, but we will watch anyone play. ASMV also likes Boca Juniors from Argentina.
