    She wore, she wore,

    She wore a yellow ribbon.

    She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May.

    And when I asked, oh why she wore that ribbon, She said it's for the Arsenal and we're going to Wembley.

    Wembley! Wembley!

    We're the famous Arsenal

    And we're going to Wembley!

    I basically only watch soccer at this point. Got tired of the commercials in other sports, but was raised a Boston sports fan. So when I do watch others I tend to root for Bruins, Red Sox, Pats, Celtics.

    MLS: Revs (this is the only one I actually care about)

    USLC: Las Vegas Lights

    USL1: Forward Madison

    USL2: All of them, but I only watch during US Open Cup

    Bundesliga: Bayer Leverkusen

    2. Bundesliga: FC St Pauli

    A-League: Brisbane Roar

    NWSL: Boston Breakers (RIP)

    CanPL: HFX Wanderers

      That’s awesome how invested you are in American soccer especially the lower leagues, my journey with Minnesota started back in the NASL.

      Can I ask if you just don’t watch EPL or La Liga or do you just not have any team preferences

        I don't really watch European leagues, but did watch Serie A at the start of the pandemic and Bundesliga after it came back because it was the only soccer on. The reason I follow St Pauli is political, and Leverkusen is because they happened to be playing at home when I visited a friend in Bonn last fall. So I dragged everyone to a game, lol.

        At some point, the amount of time spent watching soccer is too damn high. I also find it easier to have a personal connection with these lower division US teams, even if they are a thousand miles away, than these European superclubs. I always get a sideways glance from people when I say I don't watch UEFA Champions League, but it happens during domestic seasons when I'm already typically watching 6-10 games a week. And I'd rather support my domestic leagues than UCL.

        Most of my lower-league love comes from US Open Cup, the single greatest sporting tournament in the country, second best in the world.

        I also nearly forgot about CanPL.
