Nice re: Spurs. Totally arbitrary for me. But I feel like there's already enough love in this world for Chelsea, Man U and Gunners.

My Barcelona fanhood has more to do with an affinity for Catalan culture.

As for the Flounders... Sounders supporters are consumers. PTFC supporters are truly just that. "Seattle has fans because of MLS. Portland has MLS because of the fans."

Yeah, don't look for Will Johnson to score a lot of goals, but he'll play hard. He is a former all-star, but I'm not sure he's THAT good, but definitely a quality player.

I've seen him, he should compliment chara nicely by allowing him to play back of the diamond instead of doing fkkn everything in the midfield.

My fanship of Tottenham goes back to when our present US Men's coach was the star...I was just getting into soccer when he was there and he was always being talked about....for some reason I started to like them and have since....I do pull for Liverpool some except when they play the Spurs....

I am a Ronaldo fan is why I cheer Real Madrid...but I also am a Spain fan so I do root for Barca some...they play the game the way it needs to be played....short, consise, one touch passes....not kick and run...

I probably would have been a Timbers fan had they been in MLS longer...I liked Seattle when I caught one of their games and saw how loud and passionate the fanbase was...when the league first started I like the Columbus Crew....but have waned on them since they won it all...

I'm new here, I'm a big ManU fan. My MLS team is San Jose Earthquakes (my home town). Was very disappointed with the way the playoffs went down. F*** LA

Didn't Sporting KC get a nice new stadium?

[milohimself]

Yeah, it's part of a nice new sporting complex.

In other news, there's a new pro women's league, and the team in Portland just picked up Alex Morgan, sooo... I may be going to watch some women's soccer a time or two this year.

I can't hate this. Even though I want to.

RSL is doing their preseason in AZ. Going to see them play the Danish U-20 team on Monday morning, and a few weeks later there is a tournament with like 4 MLS teams. Glad I get to see some soccer down this way.
