There is a big match tomorrow, between Manchester United and Chelsea, the top 2 teams in the Premier League, as the excitement builds towards the championship. Also, the World Cup begins soon, too. Tell me about the teams you like and your love of the sport.

I watched Manchester U. get defeated by Chelsea. Chelsea shut them down. With three more matches left, it's going to be a horse race for the championship. Very exciting.

Fuck France. Seriously. They flaked their way into the Cup by having the official not whistle for a bloody obvious hand ball by Henry which allowed them to score against Ireland and qualify. I hope France gets totally annihilated.

As a Seattle sports fan I have to support our new MLS team, the Seattle Sounders. But I'm not a die hard fan of the game itself.

I am not much of a sports fan but occasionally get into one sport or another for a season or two. What I really like is hanging out with people who have a good time and often that may involve some kind of sports activity. So it is more of the moment for me. I can yell at the TV as good as anybody. I like going to stadiums even more. Of course on Lush the male soccer player is held in high regard erotically by the lecherous women who frequent the forum on a regular basis particularly the fangbanger types. Only Johnny Depp trumps all soccer players in their world.  Oh to be a soccer player!!!!

I'm not huge on football (the traditional word, not soccer), but it's cool watching Manchester Untied and all of their crazy fans :P

I am an Arsenal fan who is monitoring their match versus Spurs on-line as I type. I pray for a slip up by Chelsea so that we can steal the Premiership title from under their nose as some sort of redemption for the mauling my team took against Barcelona!!! Oh, and having persuaded my wife & daughter to attend the recent Liverpool versus Birmingham City footie game on our trip to England, I am now the proud head of a household wholly converted to football (my wife & daughter both fell in love with Fernando Torres - hey, who cares, I got tht eTV back!!).

I enjoy playing the game immensely. I played in high school, and on at college for a couple years.
I admit though that watching it, unless a close friend or family member were on the field, is not so exciting. It is not a game easily enjoyed via TV, and hooligans in the crowd dampen the fun of that experience as well.

Here is the table at press time, for the Premier League. This is just one league, so add your own interest in your team/league, too. I'm interested in learning really good teams.
1. Chelsea 77 points
2. Man Utd 73
3. Arsenal 71
4. Man City 69

I've had more problems at Canadian Football games than soccer though. My favourite soccer game was Canada hosting Jamaica for the world cup qualifiers. Game was pretty good, and there was a friendly rivalry in my section between the Jamaican and Canadian supporters. What I loved about the game though, was the very stereotypical, sweet scent of marijuana smoke wafting over the stadium. What else would you expect when Canada and Jamaica get together?

EPL: Chelsea is on top? Damn I missed a lot! I haven't been paying much attention to EPL, but they did steal a lot of my favorite german players. I think it's Chelsea to the end. They've been virtually unstoppable with their lineup ever since Man U lost Ronaldo to RM. La Liga Barcelona 83 Real Madrid 77 Valencia 56 Mallorca 52 I just don't wanna see Barcelona win again. Granite, they have the hottest goal keeper on the planet, but I wanna see someone else win at some point. I hate Ronaldo, but I want RM to win. They've signed a lot of good players this year. Injury is always a problem on this team though..........AND they have the 2nd hottest goalie.....
