Hi, I'm Matt and I support Sunderland in the English Premier League. I like to follow Athletic Club Bilbao in La Liga too. I'm around 360lb and have a lot of weight to lose. feel free to use this group to talk about our favourite sport and our weight loss efforts. Introduce yourself to everyone in this thread.

yeah, but after the last two seasons, that's not as bright as it used to be. the really sad part is that a lot of the fans in my area have switched to Union supporters b/c we're just as close to Philly. So the team is losing and the supporters are jumping ship. so sad.0 -

I joke that I'm going to jump ship and become a Sounders fan, but I won't. They're just kind of like a second team for me. Revs fans are super loyal... you have to be since they're perennial losers :sad:0 -
I'm checking in from Southern California. I play indoor and outdoor soccer. My position is keeper (goalie). Right now I play on Thursday nights and Sunday mornings.
I am a Barcelona fan, but love to watch all the European leagues!0 -
Hey I'm Audra and I was introduced to soccer when i was in 10th grade in high school. I played throughout college for the University of Central Arkansas as they started a girls team...we weren't all that good, but I had a lot of fun. I haven't actually played in years but I will always be a strong supporter of the sport and I love it. I played stopper, sweeper and fullback in college.0

Hello. been watching World Cup soccer since 86. started getting into euro club soccer after the 06 world cup. loved Henry. tried to support Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham at different times. didnt want to support Man U on principal but Rooney is by far my favorite player and i've decided to dance with the devil.
also support my local team DC United(until i moved to Phoenix) to an extent but i find it hard to watch such an inferior product now that i know what watching the EPL is like.
my dream is to win the lottery and spend a season traveling England and watching EPL games and traveling Europe watching CL games.0 -
Cool group. New to the community section of MFP, just dipping my toes in.
Arsenal is the team my life revolves around, since I was a teenager but even more so now that the Internet lets me (illegally) watch every match. Went to school in Scotland a few years ago and have been Hearts ever since.
Barcelona supporter as well, Ajax is cool, and I keep up with MLS, Ligue 1 and Serie A but no teams in particular.
I do not play football/soccer because I'm slow and tire easily and team sports have never been my thing, but part of the dream is for that to not be the case anymore. I'm getting there though. Watch out, Lionel!0 -
and traveling Europe watching CL games.
Two of the best experiences of my life:
USA - Poland in Krakow, Poland in '08
Roma - Bayern in Rome last year. Roma came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2
Totally worth it to get to some games across the pond, and you don't need to win the lotto to do it! 0 -
GLORY, GLORY, MEN UNITED {singing}
oh, and CHICAGO FIRE!

I actually lived in Rome for 7 months... got there 2 days before the start of the opening match of Roma's season last year, and left mid-March. Went to all but 2 matches last season: One I wasn't feeling well, and the other was the Roma-Lazio derby. Was told to not go, because I likely wouldn't be safe.
I have a lot of friends in Poland, and had been planning an trip there around Easter in '08. Thankfully the USA-Poland match was announced right before I bought my plane ticket, so I was able to plan my trip around the match. Was one of probably 10 Americans there and it was super intense.

Well as you can see in my profile pic, I'm an American and a football (soccer) referee. As a fan I'm a supporter of ManU, DC United and Bayern Munich.0

Hey!
I was stoked to see there is a football group here. I was born in and grew up in Germany and have been playing since I was 5 years old. I currently play four nights a week on various men's and coed teams. I try to watch any and all games I can (most on ESPN3, which is awesome) although I mostly probably watch Bundesliga, EPL and Champions League games (and of course International games). I got to go to the World Cup in 2006 which was great. My favorite Bundesliga team is 1.FC Kaiserslautern; Arsenal for the EPL. OF course I also support the German national team who I think will take the Euro Cup next year (wish I could go). For now I'll just have to settle for watching some of the clubs that come over here and play in D.C/Baltimore - last game I watched was the Chelsea vs. AC Milan game which was great.0 -
Hi,
I'm a futball addict living in Charlotte NC, my first recollection of watching the beautiful game was Summer of 70 ( I was 4) saw my team Italia getting beaten by Brasil in the World Cup final in Mexico.... disappointing but in my life I have seen the azzurri raise the world cup twice, my club team is Juventus... finally back on top of Serie A0 -
I am a Californian who loves Chelsea, which means that I am up early on Saturdays to watch the Blues. (see my profile photo) For you UK members, the "lunchtime" game kicks off at 4:30 am (typically our ESPN game) and, yes I DVR, but I prefer to watch (and suffer recently) live rather than on delay. I also follow Barcelona and Inter Milan, and our local San Jose Earthquakes.

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. 0

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.

Welcome gtfcnat, nice to see another proper football fan on here 0

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.

Hi,
My name is Aka. I'm currently traveling between Oakland (weekdays) / Los Angeles(weekends). I love AC Milan and Brazil. and I need to play more soccer.
Thank you,0 -
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.0 -
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 0 -
Awesome...how did I not know about this group until now?
St. Louis resident that supports Everton FC. Come on you blues! 0 -
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).0

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).0
