Hoops posted:Edit: I never liked that advice about "just watch games for months on end without caring about the result". It's a sport, not being neutral is a fundamental part of it. Support Liverpool. facebook jihad posted:I mostly just lurk but am a pretty hardcore US Chelsea fan. I picked them literally because I liked their jerseys and they were fun to play as in FIFA games and it's worked out so far. Plus you get to come in here each week and read the haters whine and cry over the typical 1-0 snore fest that is a Chelsea game, so that is a bonus. This is what happens when you pick a team for no good reason other than "they are successful". Chelsea fans. Nobody wants that.

Chelsea were so boring against Sydney FC that people throwing paper planes from the stands was more interesting than the second half lmao

webmeister posted:Chelsea were so boring against Sydney FC that people throwing paper planes from the stands was more interesting than the second half lmao Don't hate them because Mourinho wanted to play sensibly. Nothing worse than throwing away a lead in this league, and you want to finish as high up the table as you can so you can get trophies. There's a lot to admire in a 1-0 result against a plucky underdog, especially in such a high-stakes match.

My favorite thing about this sub is the awful plastics telling prospective plastics that they shouldn't pick a team and should just enjoy the game, which no one has done, ever

Also you're a thieving Aussie oval office so I know you claim Big Winston Reid as one of your own.

facebook jihad posted:How does an American with no ties to England at all pick a team without being plastic? You do it by picking whoever is best while claiming some absolute nonsense as the reason, then in a couple of seasons when they are no longer the best you forget about your deep and abiding passion for the club until they start doing well again.

You have to either support your local team OR the team your dad wants you to. Just because you aren't a kid anymore and your dad is american and hates 'soccer' doesn't mean the rules don't apply. Give your dad a league table and whichever team he picks is who you are stuck with for life.
