A good amount of us do. Judderman likes Arsenal. I follow Everton (Faridmon gets all of the attention). I don't remember the specific teams anyone else follows.

North American Star League?
will watch derby games or big games. also make it point to follow the Americans in Europe. I end up watching the EPL most of the time.
Same. I was a fan of EPL and Bundesliga but once I started to go to MLS games religiously I couldn't give a shit about Europe.
I can't give a shit about a team unless I can go see it live.

I basically follow Argentine and American players abroad, but will watch any good game on TV.
My European squad is Tottenham...I try following them closely. I try to catch Man City, too, due to Tevez, Aguero, and Zabaleta.

Bolton am cry.
I've found that I'll pretty much watch any soccer. I went to my parents a month or so ago and the had beIN sports in their TV subscription. I had it on the entire day at one point. It's the only sport I can really watch without being invested in a team playing.
That being said, I like EPL alot, but I'm not particularly invested in a specific team yet. I follow results for Norwich because of Kamara and Wiggan because of Espinoza, but they aren't my team. I'd like to have one though. Hoping one jumps out at me sometime.

I can't watch them anymore. I just look at the table sometimes and sigh.
I know you wanna switch to Southampton man its cool.
Sure, Lambert is quite a fellow.

I only have time to follow one league in depth, so I focus mostly on MLS. I tentatively follow Tottenham in the EPL during the offseason, but I find I can't really get into a league where you know where your team's going to be, plus or minus two places, before a single ball is kicked. All European leagues either have a devastating lack of parity or are inferior on the field anyway, so why not just follow MLS at that point?

For leagues, I only follow MLS... but I do watch every Newcastle United match even though I don't pay attention to anything else happening in the EPL.
Precisely. I like going into the season knowing nothing is a given. And with the parity there's never a game where I don't feel like watching because it's rare for two teams to be completely uneven in skill.
I'll watch other leagues as a neutral but you won't see me give two fucks unless it's Metro or DC (who I root to lose).

Not a chance. He's led the most successful expansion franchise since the Chicago Fire, and is one of the three best coaches that have ever plied their trade in MLS. A rough month doesn't change 4 years of excellent work.

I don't think the losses have been Sigi's fault either. It's not like he's making bad line up decisions or bad tactical decisions, the team is just playing like crap. They didn't show up for a good 70 minutes of that game last night. No movement off the ball, no real defensive effort to win back possession, and then when they finally did win possession back, they squandered it on really poor passes. I can't think of a player on the squad that I would say put in a really solid performance yesterday. Hell, I think Sammy Ochoa probably put in the best performance out of any of the Sounders yesterday. Sammy. Ochoa.

Sharlie Joseph was so dreadful last night. Every touch he had in midfield was a bad one.
Sounders should have had enough goals to advance. A lot of miscues but Zakuani not wanting to ever take a crucial shot was sad to see.
EDIT: But at least they made it interesting unlike the Galaxy.

I think NY is going to easily win today. We have been horrible this year and Olsen keeps making excuses and tries to defend Pajoy despite how horrible he is.

The Toronto and Philly players seem more concerned about trying to get sent off. The RSL goal was nice. I didn't see who it was.

New England have conceded twice in five games. Any team in the league would struggle to scores against them with their two first choice forwards out.
Not hitting the panic button yet, but man do we need to start racking up points nowish

Judder or Osorio:
Has Cahill still been completely useless? That $4.5 million could be used for something else to improve the Red Bulls.
