chw42 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 11:09 PM) So just for a bit of background here, does everyone who posts in this thread have a favorite English Premier League team they go for (or at least in Europe)? To kick it off, I'm a West Ham supporter (East London team), and have been from about 2000 onwards. They move into the Olympic Stadium in about 15 months from now, and are looking to break into the top 4 eventually (easier said than done). I really don't support any team in England, but if I had to list them I'd go: 1. Man City 2. Tottenham 3. ... 4. Arsenal My favorite European team is Barcelona. And West Ham has quite a ways to go before they get top 4. It's hard to go from mid-table to top 4 in the BPL. There's so many good teams in between those spots.

zenryan Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't have a favorite European team. Ill root for Man U since the Glazers own them but I don't care if they win or lose and won't go out of my way to watch them. Funny how big of front runners we are over here since everyone's favorite Euro team is basically one of handful of teams. No one ever says they're a Stoke supporter or even a Fulham or Everton supporter when those teams had Americans on them. Basically only club team I care about is Orlando City.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 3, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) They looked really good in that game. I know New Zealand isn't a power or anything, but it was on the road and the US showed off some quality. Zelalem needs some refinement, which is expected at that age, but he's just working with more tools than most players in that age range. His ability on the ball, both dribbling out of trouble and making key passes, is really strong. Needs to cut down on some loose passes and get a bit stronger and he'll be ready for the full national team. Hyndman and Carter-Vickers look like total studs, too. I like Arriola, although I'm not sure what position he profiles at as he gets older. Fun fact about Hyndman, he's still eligible to play for four different national teams.

I root against any of the English teams in Europe whenever given the chance (nice showing from them this year lol) although I did jump on the Cardiff City bandwagon a bit. That didn't turn out well.

It's not easy to really root for a team when you have no real connection to them. I like Barcelona, but they're nowhere close to my level of fandom for the Sox, Bulls, and Bears. If they win the Champions League, great. If they lose, it's not the end of the world. I feel like I can enjoy club football way more than any other sport due to my lack of a true fandom to any team. I can pretty much just watch any game without any real bias or hatred for certain teams/players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 US U-20's advance to the quarter finals with a 1-0 win over Colombia. Rubin scored and Steffen saved a PK in the 83rd minute. Supposedly CCV, Miazga and Desevio Payne were all beasts on defense. If Payne (currently starting in the Eredevisie) can become an answer at one of our FB positions down the road that'd be great. We've struggled there ever since Cherundolo retired. They play Serbia at 12:30 on Saturday night/Sunday morning. A trip to the semi-finals is very possible right now.
