Man United fans come from everywhere except Manchester (cos then they'd support Man City, it's the way it is).
I know the type. The University of Miami has a similar fan base.
Actually, I think Manny U is likely the only foreign team a good chunk of Americans could name. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
You might be interested to know that Chicago has a significant soccer (gulp - sorry, its what we call it) following here. Those Latino immigrants we accuse of taking our jobs have really made the sport popular. Actually, it's just a big immigrant town. Latinos, Irish, Eastern Europeans ... Lots of soccer fans. Also, Chicago has a pro team. I don't really know what it's like in other parts of the country, but the last world cup was wildly popular here - everyone was watching. I frankly don't remember it very being so mainstream in the past. Anyway, yes, I see people sporting Man United gear around town. DoDo, can I call these people Sovoks? There's something Sovokish about it, no? Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Although our pro team is now awful. And, being from Chicago, you know what that means: It's the stadium's fault, and they need a new one. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Hm... you know, the Cubs haven't had new stadium in a while. ;) Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
We blame the "curse." We feel sorry for the team. Having to play while cursed. Not their fault they suck (actually they are doing quite well now) - it's the curse's fault. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
