Still, im not sold.
How do you pick a team if you have no "love" for any part of the USA??
I am a passionate, Carlton, Olympiakos and Liverpool supporter.
Most of the teams I have followed are traditional powerhouses, are well supported, and some of the more succesful teams in their respective competitions (Liverpool only recently overtaken).
Liverpool and Olympiakos are port cities, but thats not essential (see CFC) and I have no affinity for any colours.
Which team should I choose really??
I'm not entirely sure how i ended up being a vikings fan.
My dad was a bears fan (big rival)
My uncle was a dolphins fan.
My other uncle was a 49ers fan and bought me a few tshirts that i used to wear in primary school.
Somewhere in the 90's i used to play a lot of Madden games. I was pretty bad at them initially (well the games where pretty bad) so i used to play with a QB that could run. That happened to be Daunte Culpepper who played for the Vikings. They had one of the best WRs to ever play the game in Randy Moss as well. The more i played the game, the more i liked the team.
Obviously, i used to watch a lot of teams, but they were pretty good and pretty enjouyable to watch at the time, so that was that.
Hardcore fan now.
Choose a team that speaks to you. Be that colours, history, location, watchability or favourite player.
