TheA_Bomb Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm pumped about Austin and STL both getting MLS teams. I've gotten into soccer a lot more over this past year attended Real Madrid vs Espanyol back in DEC at Bernebeau and watching my adopted team Frankfurt Eintracht on FS1 on SAT or SUN. I'm not the most knowledgeable fan but I'm learning a lot playing Football Manager 2020 that game is intense and complicated. Anyway, I think I'm probably in the middle wave of Soccer fan converts. Austin went with FC. I like the colors, I'm not sure what's up with the tree logo though. I think the colors are the important thing and if I were an STL fan, I'd prefer a generic name with a nice kit and colors than some bad color scheme. You have a generic name and some nickname can grow organically like Die Roten Teufels, Kaiserslatern FC, Die Adler (eagle) Frankfurt SGE, or Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Die Werkself (11 company workers) you get it. I'd start with the St. Louis flag as my inspiration and go from there. You know what? F it St. Louis River Sharks!

Followed the National team more than anything. But with American kids (as well as a kid or 2 from the STL area) starting to make good in Europe, I’ve started following it much more closely. Can’t wait for MLS4THELOU’s first game! TheA_Bomb and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also awful game, lost 2-0 and a ton of fights, was amazing I love soccer in TV but imo, it's so much better live especially for the fan that is still learning the game. You get a much better view of the entire field and the play as it develops. I can see fan who just watches games on TV and doesn't really understand it thinking a 1-0, 2-1, etc ... game is boring. However, when you see the entire play develop you get a better sense of the opportunities and the excitement of a play that looked like nothing on TV. I also think TV makes it look like players can't take pain and whine when nothing really happened. When in reality, let me take a hard cleat and just bring it down on your ankle at maybe a 20% of the possible force. It hurts even when you aren't hit hard. I know the over acting contributes to this but the players are much tougher than it seems. Also as previously noted the fan experience is so much fun with the supporter groups singing and chanting all game. If anyone on here who is learning the game ( or even those that aren't lol) want to sit together to watch a game when SLU plays again, just let me know, I'd love to do it. courtside likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere alone at soccer games is worth the price of admission. I’ve been to World Cup Qualifiers and it was so much fun!

I finally got back into the Premier League this season after a cool decade of not watching. I made the decision to watch as many teams as possible this year and then pick a team to follow. Would’ve been Fulham (saw McBride and Bocanegra play at Craven Cottage back in 2004) but it appears they were relegated a few yeas back. I won’t get into reasoning but after careful consideration I think I’m going with Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to watch them crush Arsenal in the FA Cup Final this weekend. If they win, the added bonus is that Kroenke owns Arsenal. I think Arsenal fans hate him even more than STL does, which is a pretty high bar. Zink and SLU let the dogs out?! like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a city fan, got tickets for that In the away section at Chelsea which, not easy so it was amazing. chelsea is a good choice and honestly I think they finish 2nd next year with the latest signing.

If not right there at 3rd Wow yeah those tickets aren’t easy to get. I hope your wife was both impressed and turned on Liverpool and Man City would’ve been too easy to pick, I've never liked ManU, and I hate Arsenal for obvious reasons Leicester City received consideration but at the end of the day picking Chelsea was an easy choice because of Pulisic and the rest of the squad. I love the mix of young guns (Pulisic, Mount, Abraham) and salty vets (Wilian, Alonso, and Giroud). I lied. I did go into reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
