Anyone on UESP a fellow football fan?
Anyone on UESP play football?

I've supported Sunderland AFC all my life what with it being my local club, but I could also consider myself a Rangers, Blackburn Rovers and Borussia Dortmund fan, due to family links etc, but none of those three clubs come close to my love for Sunderland. I also play football for my town's Sunday League side as an attacking midfielder, which is incredibly enjoyable.

One final question, for football fans here, what is the greatest feeling you've experienced watching/playing football and why?

The greatest sport. The perfect blend of pace, tactics and contact.

I'm a huge Arsenal fan. I was born in North London and my whole family supports them. Gonna win it this season.

There are too many top moments in a sport like soccer.

-When Aguero scored that goal in injury time two seasons ago to go on and win the league for Man City, though. Holy [&@%!] [&@%!]. The look on those Man Utd fans' faces. The look on Alex Ferguson's face. My eyes were rolling around in my head. I really, really, really hate Manchester United.

-When Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 7 - 0 last year.

-Wilshere's goal vs. Norwich

-Henry coming back to Arsenal and scoring against Leeds in the FA cup.

My current city is getting an MLS team in a couple years so I am looking forward to that.

Internationally I am a Man U fan, since the only English person I ever knew was one and got me in to them, and also being a part owner (I own stock in them).

Huge football fan here. World Cup draw in half an hour, I'm excited! I'm (Belgium) hoping for a favourable group, although in a group with Holland would be awesome.

I can't wait either, for some reason i'm predicting a horrifically bad group for England, probably featuring Germany. I admire Belgium myself, very nice football and plenty of time to grow as a team with young talent.

Whereabouts? I'm interested in the MLS and i'm always a fan of expanding the league.

I think Arsenal might as well, very consistent in the league and rarely drop points, signing of Ozil was key. Think you might have to be wary of City and Chelsea though, both have brilliant attacking forces.

Orlando. We start in the MLS in 2015.

Doesn't it bother you Americans that the MLS has no relegation/promotion system? I like how there are two or three clubs every season that leave and join the first league. But perhaps the MLS is still too young for that.

I don't care much for the sport itself, but the beer drinking events it brings are just my thing.

Arsenal, Juventus, Bilbao and Red Star Belgrade fan, football is kind of religion to me.

The Henry return is the greatest day of my life, i cried like a baby, i have a avi clip in my phone.
Second most enjoyable thing is when i see Lpool or Barselona lose a game, god i hate them so much.
Third is watching mourinho press conferences, he is just nasty and mean mofo.

No it doesn't bother me. And it's never going to happen in the MLS, ever.

I like it overseas but American leagues in any sport have never been pro-rel and I like keeping with that style in our country.

Hahahaha, you have what, 20 pro clubs on 270-300milion people, england alone has 500+ on less than one third population. Not to mention almost 20 division ranks. Every fakin hammlet and vilage has a footbol team.

...yet soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the US. I don't think you can compare them. England has a long history with football, while it's still fairly new in US. I'm planning on really following the next MLS-season. With all the new (and promising) signings FC Toronto has made (and considering I have family there), Canadian/US soccer has really sparked my interest.

Anyway, Manchester City - Barcelona tonight, can't wait.
