Which soccer club in a 26 World Cup host country do you follow or support?
With all three host countries out of the tournament and no World Cup games today, some of us are emerging from a soccer stupor and checking in with our NSL, NWSL, Liga MX, MLS, CPL, and USL sides, which has got me wondering: what team or competition do Lemmings follow from the host countries? And, for those of you located in a host country, has following this World Cup encouraged you to support your local soccer team?
I have loosely followed Sporting KC in the MLS because they have a great academy system here. I mostly follow Premier League but have been thinking I might make more effort to follow MLS after the World Cup finishes.

I miss the old KC Wizards branding. Did you follow back when Lalas was playing?

I didn’t no, but I think I might make it up for a game. It’s about a three hour drive for me but I think they are my closest team and run the local academies here.

I do see a lot of other people around here with SKC gear so there is definitely a following here.

Uh... BEL because of Tintin et al.
FRA because of BD, and just being a Francophile in general.

I don't really follow soccer, but I've been rooting for teams based on which cuisine I prefer. At this point, I'm hoping Argentina or Morocco takes it.

Probably because you finally got rid of Vermes. He was a terror for you as a player, but wow was he tough as a coach AND sporting director at the same time for literally forever.

Save -- and I cannot emphasize this enough -- the Caps. You belong in the Cascadia Cup.

AYSO, High School, and some competitive youth teams in the Sporting KC Academy system
