    None of my relatives have a favorite soccer team. I know some Irish folks here in China. What about their teams?

      I didn't know we were a "sister city" (whatever one of those is) to Atlanta.
      I know that we're twinned with Gelsenkirchen in Germany, but had never heard of an Atlanta connection. Still, it's already too late to switch allegiance from the Vikings to the Falcons.

      By the way DaShi, once you choose then that's it. Absolutely for life. You are allowed to follow other teams (say you live somewhere miles away from where they play, and the local side isn't Man Utd), but they have to be your local team, and when they play YOUR team you have to support YOUR team only.

        If I may give you an unbiased view, I would suggest you support the most successful team in English history and the current European Champions......

        THE MIGHTY LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB!!!!

              Nah, it's passed on with the genes.

                Getting dragged along to Anfield from the age of 3 onwards didn't help either!

                  what about that chinese second division side that gazza was meant to turn out for, they looked pretty useful

                  the irish don't have any decent football teams, they all support liverpool, man utd or celtic.

                  colon is right, football is something you grow (or are born) into, you tend to 'pick' a team when you're very young. for you i'd reconmend you watch some premiership games, and pick the team whose players and style of play appeal to you most.

                    ...or you could just save yourself the trouble and pick Liverpool

                      Dammit, a couple of months ago this thread could have been really fun.
                      Did you really have to win that damn cup?

                          Actually, I think it is their fault.

                                I went to see Newcastle play Bristol Rovers once. It was at the low point of the toon's history. BR seemed a desperate bunch.
