How does one actually enjoy watching a team in EFL if you don't live in England?Also, yuck.
Yeah, I don’t get the idiots who become super fans of foreign teams from places they’ll never visit. I think my favorite was the guy at a soccer bar I was at who was watching “totting-ham and lie-chester” dressed head to toe in Hotspurs gear. I pay attention watch occasionally in the AM and generally pull for the smaller teams in a match (e.g. Brentford, Wolves, Bournemouth) or clubs friends once played with (Forest and Leeds). Otherwise, its like choosing to be a Yankees or Lakers fan when you live in Iowa.
I’m a Sheffield Wednesday supporter, been since the early 90s when the Prem formed (now in League 1). I still search for the few games that are broadcast and soak it all in 🤷♂️
EFL is the 2nd tier league. That'd be like ESPN+ and rooting for a AAA Baseball team in the hopes that the entire organization somehow gets called up to the majors to replace the Miami Marlins. AND EVEN THEN, they'd likely get kicked back down to AAA with absolutely no chance of ever winning the EPL.That's the point I was making.
Nope - fake fan. How many players on the team are you even friends with ?
Damn, you’re absolutely right, my fandom has all been a mirage. I feel gutted and a fraud. Go U17 Midwest youth soccer team!
panda was mocking Hoyle, not you.
Oh I know, I found it funny and well done. I too was mocking our Billy.
Yeah, he is hurt.Soccer is fun, you should watch more. Pick an English Premier league team and throw it on before football (american) on Sundays. It's lots of fun, but can be extremely stressful once you fall down the rabbit hole.Oh, and to add only pick one of these EPL teams if you want to have a chance at a championship.ChelseaMan UMan CityLiverpoolTottenhamArsenal
Chico. On any short list.

You aren't in England or France. You can't be a real fan.Or some such nonsense.
I have extensive family ties to England, and spent a lot of time there. Don’t be a wanker. Ancestry is far greater than “what team is on TV and always wins.”
People can root for whomever they want for whatever reason they want. It’s just sports.
