[chaostheory]

ManCity! Only because I'm ruthless with them in Fifa since 09

.. but Super Mario is too entertaining, guy is a joker.

But my favorite player growing up was Totti and by default Roma & the Italian National Team

 

[mastamind89]

Besides Arsenal, I'm a fan of Lyon, Barca, AC Milan and Bayern Munich

Who do you guys have winning Serie A?
I'm gonna say the Rosserneri repeat. Napoli might give em a run. I think Juve might contend as well. Inter may or may not have a chance depending on the sale of Sneijder.

Good advice. I did this with FIFA 98 and ended up liking B.Dortmund (bundesliga)for a while. Their neon kits (imo best of 90s) and their high defense marks made them a video game favorite. I never really followed them in real life though.

Rumors of the day: 
Sneijder to Man U done by next week? 

City bids for Nasri

Berbatov to PSG

For me, the rumors are half the fun, Career Mode in FIFA FTW

edit: If I hear one more thing about fabregas im going to lose it

at this point I'm a fan of players

FIFA has ALOT to do with that

I think I have it narrowed down to Milan, Real and Chelsea

That has to be an american thing.
No matter what happens at a club, you should go with a club rather than a player (hello new Heat fans 

)

its Milans to loose.. way to much talent, especially if they add De Rossi..

have to agree with that club>players comment.. really dislike all the recent united/chich supporters... some even act like the club was irrelevant until we signed him

 

[champcruthik]

Clearly Milan's title to lose, too much offensive prowess and they got better on defense with Taiwo and Mexes. New manager and new formation for Inter could mean growing pains and trouble in early fixtures. Another slow start for Inter and AC Milan will run away top of the table. Napoli is still a step away from seriously contending Italy's top powers. Juve and Roma improved significantly through the current transfer window but not enough to truly threaten Milan.

You bring up a good point... I hadn't thought about it till you brought it up, but for me on team sports, it's always been the team first (even since when I was a kid).  If my player changed teams, I'd wish him well, but wouldn't go on supporting that new team.  From baseball, basketball, footy or even F1... I could just never do it.  
Whether it's an "American" thing... well, I won't get into that.

Haha, nothing irks me more,  I've been a fan of Torres, was never a fan of Liverpool. I do like wathcing Chelsea play but am I a fan, eh, I don't consider myself one. And it just so happens that Henry has been on teams that I am a fan of including the Red Bulls. But the Heat is a great example of the matter
Just join both fantasy leagues

Anyone watching the Olympique Marseille v ManU friendly? It's 2-2 as of now.

^^^ While i agree with yall, i like the idea of just watching a league for a season

at this point I dont have a legitimate tie to ANY team so to just pick one out of all teams in the world is kind of daunting

either way i go im going to be accused of jumping on the bandwagon... gotta choose my wagon carefully

Don't chose city unless you like fans who obsess more about their rivals then the well being of their team, fans who sing about the munich disaster despite the fact that one of their own players died in the crash, and fans who's response to every so called attack is "Are you from Manchester"

Barcelona Fan.

Why?

Ronaldo/Maradona/Ronaldinho - Three of my most favorite players played there. I've been with Barca even when Madrid was kicking out butts but it's nice to be on the other side of the fenc

. Another reason why I like Barca is their style of play and their "team mentality" before anything else.

Pretty much broke down the reason I like Barca too... I just enjoy great futbol and seeing good games.

Be unique and follow LA Firpo from the El Salvador league

I went to the Barcelona vs Manchester United friendly in Washington DC. Check out this video I put together of some footage I captured that day...

After the last few years.  Don't pick Arsenal.  Seriously, they have caused me so much heartache.  The spoiled United fans annoy me.  Especially the new ones.  That is probably why I hate them even more than Arsenal's other natural rivals in London.

i tried to join the league but that thing is so confusing ill pass

 

[downyboy]

HAM CITY gave the best advice. can't become a fan overnight. feel that way about united.

as for me, chivas by birth. born about 2hrs away, would never think to switch to another team.

follow united, but can't really say i'm die hard fan just yet as i don't really have much of a connection with the team aside from chich.

If you really feel you need an EPL team, there's always this...
