    Hi, new to this group. I am a card holding Spammer (West Ham season ticket holder), so a propper supporter :laugh: Not a big fan of Chelsea, ManU, Spurs or Millwall, but I am also partial to the Magpies, the O's and the Daggers. :smile:

    Hi
    I'm new to this group & MFP.
    I support Grimsby Town (UK non-league) having my life ruined by them since 1997 lol also follow the Hammers (hi Flixie00) because my Mum used to watch them in the late 70s early 80s.

    Joined about a week ago, figured I'd find a few people with similar interests. Been playing since I was a kid, lucky enough to play in college. Slowly I got a little slower, fatter, and less skilled. I still play, just not as well. I figure losing a few pounds may help in all aspects of playing, especialy keeping my ankles from going out again from being a little too heavy.

    I'm a Seattle Sounders fan, West Brom (Baggies), and USMNT. I despise Seire A, always have. Individual players are amazing and talented,but i do not enjoy the team play. I perfer the EPL and enjoy wathching the MLS slowly get better. MLS still has a ways to go, but much better then the 90's.

    "I'm a Sounder! I'm seldom sober, I'm a Sounder all blue and green! And when I'm drinking! I'm always drinking, to a Sounders Victory!"

    Love that theres a football group here - my life revolves around it!!! Although beer and burgers at the match probably don't help with the weight loss.
    Anyway I support FC United of Manchester (english non-league), season ticket holder at Old Trafford before the Glazers.

    So cool to find a football group here :)

    Being a Red Sox fan, I became interested in Liverpool FC when Red Sox owners acquired the team 2 years ago. I have since completely fallen in love with the club and the game. I now have Fox Soccer on my cable and watch the matches every week. It is indeed a beautiful game, and I can't wait to see Liverpool play at Fenway Park in Boston this summer :D

    I am Eric and started MFP 2 weeks ago. I am a HUGE Fut'ball fan. It doesn't matter what league or country. Heck I was games that the announcer speaks Spanish (just mute the TV). I enjoy Spain, Germany and Brazil during the World cup. Premier is Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid. But the best games to watch are High School (boys and girls).

    Seems to be a lot of Americans on here. So, why not add another. I just joined MFP as I've trying to lose some weight but haven't been successful. I recently started playing soccer 2 times a week. I was surprised to find multiple adult leagues to play in, but I guess it's LA so I shouldn't be too surprised. It's lots of fun and I recommend it to anyone not currently playing.

    As a supporter my teams are Dundee FC (because of family) and Bordeaux (because I lived there).

    Hi I'm Emily. I'm generally going to be a lurker but I thought it's only polite to introduce myself.

    I used to be obsessed with football as a kid, and played as a goalie until I was about 22. Unfortunately life ended up getting in the way of that (and other things). One of my fitness goals now is to be fit enough to re-join my old team.

    I'm a life-long Sheffield Wednesday supporter, but I do have a soft spot for Roma (because I used to have a crush on Montella. Shallow, I know).

    Hi fellow beautiful game fans! I am a crazy soccer mom who is in love with the game. I played a long, long, long time ago growing up in So Cal. My jr. high school didn't have a girls team so a couple of my friends and I played with the boys. I played in high school before tearing my ACL over and over again. I went for my come back career in a women's over 30 league about 6 years ago and promptly tore my ACL for the last time. (At least I got four fun games in). Now I do a little coaching and a little managing.

    I LOVE watching my son play club soccer. I've been to the WWC final in LA in 99 and in Germany in 2011. Last big game was the MLS Cup Final -- hurray for the Galaxy!

    We have FSC on in our house almost every weekend we are home. Favorite teams include Everton, Man City and, of course, Barcelona. I have a huge mom crush *blush* on Joe Hart.
    Thanks for creating this group!

    Hi Fellow lovers of the beautiful Game, I'm Jamaican, living in Florida since 2004, actually on my laptop right now with the champions league match with PSV and AC Milan going on. I'm a diehard Arsenal Fan, and also a longtime FIFA gamer. I obviously support Jamaica but as we have only qualified once to the world cup I tend to support the Dutch, I like their style of play.

    My absolute favorite player is Zidane, there will never be any as good as him, the goal he scored for Madrid against Leverkausen is one of the best volleys ever. Some of my other favorite players are Thierry Henry, Klinsmann, Berkamp, Ronaldinho, and Maldini (I liked that Maldini stayed at Milan so long, pity he never won a world cup)

    zidane and henry are my two favorite players as well. if Jamaica ever starts using their track stars for soccer that could be interesting. :)
