I dig the Columbus Crew because they got the black and gold unis and their logo reminds me of the guys from Clockwork Orange.

Or gay firefighters. Which ever.

As a Red Bull supporter I could make a case for this team. But, I won't. Despite some of the quality on the roster the team is downright cursed. They can't win for ****. And by that I am referring to championships. They are just heartbreaking.

If I had no teams with proximity, I would base it on places that I enjoy visiting or spending time. Or the uniforms, but those change so often that it doesn't matter.

I enjoy Boston as a city, so New England is a good team to support. They are also a quality side so that is a plus.

I enjoy Toronto, so they are up there as well.

I like Columbus' uniforms but when I visited the city I was pretty bored. So, they might not make it on the list.


Was all that sarcastic? If so, well done, my friend, well done.

Geographically, I suppose I should support FC Dallas. Their home kits are spiffy and so is their stadium.

I normally don't pick teams by region, but this is who I root for. Though I really dislike their best player. Ruiz annoys me.

Sadly, no, Pastor is a tortured fan.
 
after watching Saturday, go with the Red Bulls, or until Jozy leaves for Europe.

Oh, so you only want him to be a Red Bulls fan for the next 3-months?

this is the only time that matters in MLS...the playoff push
 
I'd recommend Chivas USA, especially as a foil to all of the bull**** about Beckham and the Galaxy.

As far as who Mexicanos/Chicanos in SoCal cheer for, I'd bet that fans of Club America do NOT support Chivas USA. Club America, a Mexico City team, and the Chivas, a Guadalajara team, are the two most popular teams in Mexico.

Club America are like the New York Yankees of Mexican soccer. Chivas are their main rivals, but the Guadalajara team has a respectable record of success, although not as much as Club America.

Chivas have cool unis and a practice of having only Mexicans on the roster...this is fitting since Guadalajara and the surrounding state of Jalisco have a reputation for being the "most Mexican" part of Mexico...since the area's home of both mariachi music and tequila, they have a pretty good claim.

Other popular Mexican teams: Pumas (the university-affiliated team in Mexico City), Cruz Azul (another Mexico City team) and Tigres (University of Nuevo Leon in Monterey). Some of those fans might cross over and cheer for Chivas USA in the MLS, but no way do Club America fans support the LA manifestation of Chivas.

I'd go with Dallas, they are a top team that justed added Brazilian playmaker Denilson, and Ruiz isn't even close to being their best player this season, Juan Toja and his Zeppelin-eske hair is the top man for the Hoops ...
