Football fan in the states

[philgram]

Hello all,

I am a fairly new fan of football who is stuck in the states, where the sport is called soccer and there is no respectable league to be a fan of. I have played enough fifa to know the best league is in England. My only problem is I have no team to pull for, that is why I am posting here. Any suggestions at who I should throw my support to? Having a side to pull for would make this upcoming season so much more exciting, particularly as I try to convince my girlfriend of the awesomeness of the sport. Thanks.

Becoming a football fan usually happens naturally: you were raised in a family who liked to watch football, your high school girlfriend was the starting quarterback, or something about the game just spoke to you.
