One thing I don't get is how Americans that follow English/European soccer leagues decide on which teams to root for

Everyone I know who watches it seems to be very invested in one team or the other....how do you decide who has your loyalty?

Responses:

I don't understand provincial loyalty when a team's top players are imported from other countries. I root for clean play. -- nm - Max Mar 9, 12:04 6
- everyone knows Chelski and Man U are twats -- nm - moles Mar 9, 12:07 2
  - Man U was bought by some American and since then it has been a joke - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:12 1
    - If you can't make money off a team with a estimated value of 1.6billion, you're in the wrong sport. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:13
- Shaktar Donesk? 7 brazilians in the starting lineup - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:06 2
  - It's ridiculous. What's the point of saying "America won XXX Olympic medals" when the people who won them weren't American? (or Algerian or whatever) -- nm - Max Mar 9, 12:08 1
    - lots of kenyan and ethiopian becomming citizens in tiny persian gulf states lately - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:10
i mainly don't root. i just watch the games....nm - x Mar 9, 12:00
with EPL, i kind of know the country and which teams from what area fits. also, a few americans play for some of the teams if you want to be parochia - moles Mar 9, 11:59
The Sox owners bought Liverpool, so if I'm jumping onto a bandwagon, might as well keep it local. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 11:59
whoever beats Man U - znufrii Mar 9, 11:59
Coolest nickname who isn't the equivalent of the Yankees/Red Sox. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 11:58
some of the games are live stream here...but the site is heavy on the comersials -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 11:57
who has the hottest cheerleaders, um wait a minute -- nm - ceregon Mar 9, 11:57
I went with the home team that I saw first in person. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 11:57
