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?

none. professional sports are like corps for me now. I used to say my favorite thing to watch is little league games but like wierd holding companies have bought out a lot of the local companies that put those on. Colleges are getting just as bad as pro sports. Maybe not quite but the money is just corrupting. At this point high school is kinda the best point. So for me high school and college level sports is the only ones I would care to watch. Not sure how much longer before they get wierd.

Can't take professional soccer seriously with all the flailing on the ground like children.

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

DC United.

Argentina, but I think Cabo Verde was the most interesting team this year.

Edit: Misread the question, sorry.

None of them: Spectator sports aren't really my thing. Same for watching other people play video games.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I'm the same way about video games. Which sports do you play?

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 11 hours ago

None seriously but once in a while soccer, basketball, and a little bit of baseball back in the day. I used to do some martial arts too if you count that as a sport, mostly Muay Thai. Hiking and biking are more my jam, especially these days.

Edit: Oh and archery/marksmanship if you count those.

[-] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago

Our ones are out...

I have decided for Argentina now. What they did against Egypt has given me hope for them.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago

Seattle Sounders and Spokane Velocity, mix in some BVB and Liverpool. IDK about the USMNT at all but love the USWNT

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 2 points 11 hours ago

My heart absolutely broke for the Velocity fans when your USLSL side went under. How're you doing in USL1? I only saw the loss to Forward Madison after USMNT-Bosnia match (up the mingos).

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

They are on a slide, hopefully it will turn back around soon. Gotta get to the finale 3 years in a row!

[-] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Vancouver Whitecaps

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 5 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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.

An Inter Miami fan, then. Messi has been magical for you.

[-] faltryka@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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

[-] faltryka@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 1 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] faltryka@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 1 points 15 hours ago

So it's like, basically just AYSO and high school in your area?

[-] faltryka@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 1 points 11 hours ago

oh, oh I totally misread. Do they only have one academy side per age group, or can SKC have a U15 near you and another on the other side of KC but the same distance?

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Ah, a Montreal Roses fan, I take it.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Never heard of 'em, but bonne chance..?

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world -3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

None, never cared for soccer and never will.

[-] faltryka@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I feel like this question wasn’t for you then maybe?

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 1 points 15 hours ago

Fair and valid, but I think you're missing out.
