So who's here's a soccer fan?

Also I hate the fake injuries, tie games, and conservative play by the team with the lead near the end of a game.

I wish soccer had more games with final scores like 3-5 or something instead of so many 1-1 games and 1-0 games.

I remember going to the first rsl game ever played at rio tinto and the final score was 1-1..... I felt like it was a waste of time and didn't know if I should feel happy or sad about a tie.... so I was just confused
 
Casual fan. Both girls play comp and we get our FIFA13 on sometimes. Will watch an RSL or US game here and there.

Is anyone of you into European association football? Or is it more on a national/local level that you're interested in it?

I only watch the US National team. It's not that I have anything against the European clubs (and as an aside, I'll watch some of the Euro Cup when it's on, but again that's national teams), but that I have too much on my sports plate as it is with US football and basketball to add another sport to it.

Truly truly outstanding. Spanish speaking commentators are pure gold!

Nah was just a general question. Just like a lot of European basketball fans follow the NBA I wondered if US association football fans did the same. I'm also as casual into football as a German can be. So I watch mainly the national teams, Championsleague with German participation and other high profile matchups or some national league if friends invite me to join them on a cold beer. Other than that I play it myself a couple times a year.

It will be interesting to see if Landon plays World Cup Qualifers, honestly I hate the guy... Laughed my *** of when he missed the PK and let the Door open for RSL to win the championship a few years back, but the dude has been killing it in theses gold cup games...

If he plays like that and Jozie continues his excellence Brazil is going to be fun!!!

Ya... Landon is a goober on LA. But just like I have no problem cheering for all the guys when the US Basketball team plays, I have no problem cheering on Landon when he's playing for the US.

Jozie has been money. Ridiculous money.
 
I'm a fan. My family is originally from England and we moved to the US when I was little. So it was pretty much the only sport my Dad would watch with us growing up. However, my bros and I followed other sports as well and my Mom also loves the Jazz. I also played soccer growing up through HS (indoor and outdoor).

I used to follow EPL back in the 90s growing up, but haven't followed it closely since 2001ish. I remember my family ordering EPL matches and FA Cup matches on pay per view back in the day before Fox/ESPN started showing the big games. I will still watch the odd Euro league match on some Saturday mornings, but not regularly. I do try to watch any league championship matches, major tournaments, and any games involving the England/US national teams. I will also watch RSL games anytime they're on national or local TV (I live in LA).

I totally forgot that Klinsmann was your headcoach...Most Germans don't value him as a good coach. They dislike his shortcomings when it comes to tactics. I agree with it, but I think he's a good player's coach for a young group.
Plus I just found out that Jermaine Jones(aka the German MWP) is on your national team. Can't deny I had to think about Chris Kaman immediately.
First time I've seen something from the USA on an international level was 2002 the quarter final vs Germany, where I felt before the game it's going to be a blowout win but then we got kind of lucky with more than just a few left opportunities for the US boys. And of course a tragic semifinal exit of Germany against Bulgaria in 1994. I was 7 back then and my world fell apart for a couple days back then. I even cried. But that tournament is a little bit of an all time classic for the guys my age. During that tourney a German player was suspended for showing the middle finger to the fans during a game. His last name is a synonym for that now.

This was probably the best game that team USA has ever played, second best USA vs Itally 2006(only team Italy didn't beat in route to there World Cup championship)

Was beyond pissed when the ref didn't call the hand ball (starting at 4:18 in video)

Yup. The handball was redonk.

Me and my friend stayed up and watched all the World Cup US games in the middle of the night that year. I still hate Oliver Kahn too.
