Sorry if this has been discussed previously, but I'm curious about diehard SEC fans who, like myself, also love soccer.

I'm a huge Tottenham fan. Interestingly, I view Spurs as the UGA of the Premier League. I hate Arsenal and Chelsea with a passion.

Also pull for FCBarcelona and am waiting for MLS in Atlanta.

Any other fans?

Here. Been a Liverpool fan since I was a kid. Played my whole life, in fact it's my favorite sport. I like to think that in a few decades, maybe our football stadiums will be packed to watch our respective soccer teams as well.

Coincidentally, now that I look at it there are some parallels between 'pool and a&m. Granted, they have had more past glory over the last century, but both are still living off reputations made in the past, and can't quite seem to get the right formula to win presently.

I don't keep up with MLS, though I do go to games when superstars come into town: Henry, Beckham, Villa, etc.

Holla! I have seasons tickets to Sporting KC (although I sell most all of them). I'm not a big fan of La Liga, but IMO MESSI>Ronaldo. As for the Premier League, I usually find myself pulling for Spurs. I want to like Arsenal since Stan Kroenke is the owner, but it just hasn't happened yet. I've also always had a thing for Fulham.

At least you don't root for Arsenal.

Liverpool, Borussia Monchengladbach, and SKC fan.

Will support Atlanta once they start up.

Go Gunners. St. Totteringham's Day came early this year.

Agreed. FOX picks it up starting in in the fall, correct?

Gladbach clinched a CL spot this past weekend.

There will probably be more Americans in the Bundesliga than the Premier League next season.

Stonehog you is a punk bitch for all the downvotes.

Ok, you've always been a punk bitch, but you never cease confirming it.

I can watch World Cup matches. I can also watch the EPL. MLS soccer is fricking awful. I don't have a team to follow. Guess I need to pick one.

You don't pick teams, teams pick you.

Tottenham Hotspot picked me by seeing my love of sporting heartbreak and ineptitude.
