Living close to Vancouver pretty much makes me a fan of the Canucks. I don't follow regular season that much but since they usually make it into playoffs I will watch them from there. They tend to crack under pressure and fail in the playoffs but it's probably the only sports team I root for. I am not a hardcore/diehard fan but if I had to choose a team it would be them due to geographical location.

I'm a very casual fan of the NY Yankees - grew up in the Bronx.  No real preferences on other sports, don't watch much, and then it's usually either baseball or football.  I'll watch the Super Bowl, but more for the party atmosphere rather than the actual game.

I'm a fan of all Boston sports teams (Bruins, Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics). For EPL I support Everton and for La Liga I like Barcelona.

Why Everton? At least you're not a Man U or Arsenal fan! So many people are fans of them because they don't really know the EPL.

Mostly because of Tim Howard, but I wanted to choose a team that wasn't already insanely full of bandwagoners. It would make sense to back Liverpool since Tom Henry of the Red Sox owns them, but I think the purchase was stupid and don't really like the team.

What's wrong with being a ManUtd fan?

There is nothing wrong with being a Man U. fan but I get sick of people who are fans because it's just one of the popular teams. They don't really know the team or any other teams but they act like they are die hard fans of Man U. but they can't name anybody on their bench. I can respect a fan that knows his stuff and also knows the league but people who just like Arsenal or Man U because Nike sells their jerseys or something dumb bother me.

Does that make sense?

It's all good. I didn't feel offended by your post saying "at least you're not a Man U fan". I was just curious.
Not a die hard fan, but at least I could name the players from reserves to first team...

Cheers!

Haha cool! Granted being a Tottenham fan I hate Arsenal and Man U. more than anything (and often their fans). But that's just because I was raised that way haha
