Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
Right now, I'm rooting for Real Salt Lake. They took home the trophy last year and I'm hoping they can pull it off again(though at this point prospects are chilly). I bleed red blue and gold my friends. Red blue and gold. My favorite players on the team are Rimando(who in my opinion is a big reason RSL has such a great def) and Beckerman(he's pretty much the one that carried them to the MLS Cup). Other than that, I got nothing. But RLS all the way.

woops sorry what i was trying to say was that i did not understand anything about your post and i wondered if you were talking about a different type of football.
Hypermnestra is talking about an American professional football club from Salt Lake City, Utah that takes part in the Major Soccer League (MLS) based in the United States. Apparently they won the league's championship last year. Few of you probably don't have any idea about the team or league because soccer is relatively insignificant in the US compared to other sports and because most football/soccer fans don't really think about the US when it comes to football.
That doesn't mean that soccer/football is growing in popularity over there.
So, what soccer team do you all support?I for one am Liverpool to death! *sigh* Bad luck this season.
I hear some news about a court battle involving the current owners of Liverpool. It seems the American owner of the Boston Red Sox is planning on buying Liverpool..
Meh, just to clarify the term 'soccer' actually comes from the British, not the Americans, so quit harassing us Yanks for using the original British term for the sport. /rant
Oh, and Glasgow Celtic and F.C. Bayern-Munchen AG (yes, the 'u' is supposed to have an umlaut but I omitted it because the forums don't support the character) are my fav teams although I admittedly only watch soccer rarely, mostly because I don't have cable or anything.
Now, I'd like to veer off course for a while.. I acknowledge blatant advertising is against the rules here but I would like to share this for the sake of experimentation by tracking how information spreads over the internet through the word of mouth. Here. If you feel good enough to "sign" a petition demanding more attention be focused on chronic starvation of a significant amount of the world's population, I would be appreciative. To clear this up though, no personal info is revealed, only your country, city and e-mail address. Use a disposable one if you care. In fact, I'm mainly interested in link sharing because I want to see how information is disseminated. Since I don't have many contacts online (aside from AG of course), I thought of posting this here.

It's not the term we despise, but what it represents. Soccer was only invented as a term because rugby was first known as rugby football, so there needed to be something that differentiated them. Since rugby has dropped the word football from its title, the real football has claimed back its name, and the only countries who fail to acknowledge this are the ones who don't care/know much about it. At the top of that list are American soccer fans, of whom there can only be negative connotations of passionless supporters having the lyrics of chants projected onto screens, etc etc.

Joined and posted on me Facebook. It is terrible business and they do indeed need all the help they can get.
Oh ok. Forgive me. I have been out of the country for awhile, the Newcastle story was the first I saw on BBC sport when I got back.
Same, just hope they be in Europe next season again [best I think is Europa]. And a very, very little chance of the title, which will make me laugh at their current progress.
This is a transition season. Change of manager and now owners (although I think this new lot are rather good compared to Hicks/Gillett) means you will likely finish upper mid table. Europe I'm afriad to say is a dream at the moment.
(although I think this new lot are rather good compared to Hicks/Gillett)
I have to agree. The current owners should let it go. The potential owners have at least proven themselves in the past, despite that being with another team in another sport in another country.
