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

Why are people responding if they have no team or interest? Like wandering into a star trek community and going "no I don't like this show "
Great for you but completely unnecessary.
At this rate Im pulling for England for Kane or most definitely Norway. Love the underdogs.
Follow many, many teams across the world. Most underperform
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.
I lost a lot of interest when they put my Golden Bears into the ACC, but I remember watching Alex Morgan play for us fondly. Maybe your local USL2/USLW team is more independent of corporate interests? There isn't much money in it.
Seattle Sounders and Spokane Velocity, mix in some BVB and Liverpool. IDK about the USMNT at all but love the USWNT
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).
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 do see a lot of other people around here with SKC gear so there is definitely a following here.
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.
So it's like, basically just AYSO and high school in your area?
AYSO, High School, and some competitive youth teams in the Sporting KC Academy system
Can't take professional soccer seriously with all the flailing on the ground like children.
DC United.
Who has the coffee pot cup currently? Is it the Battery?
It's a silly trophy the Charleston Battery and DC United have as part of their rivalry. It's passed back and forth to the club that won in their most recent meeting, which is usually the US Open Cup or the Carolina Challenge (a preseason tournament) since the Battery aren't in MLS. It's a coffee pot to celebrate the time y'all trashed Charleston's locker room after they beat you in USOC in '99. This looks like a pretty good history of the trophy.
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.
Champions of England, Arsenal FC 🔥🔥🔥
It was Canada but since they’re out, I guess Belgium now. I don’t really have any ties to Belgium as a team or country, but they knocked out the US and they make my favourite beer so those are good enough reasons as any I suppose.
I feel like I don't see you around !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca . Just a lurker?
I honestly didn’t know that community existed until now, but I joined. I’m not usually into soccer though, I just started paying attention maybe a month ago.
If you're interested in finding a club team, there's also a community for the Northern Super league !nsl@lemmy.ca . I haven't found one for the Canadian Premier League yet.
Uh... BEL because of Tintin et al.
FRA because of BD, and just being a Francophile in general.
Soccer is a minor sport in Australia compared to others. I don't really watch it but after we hosted the women's world cup a few years ago I did give the local A League a look. It just wasn't for me but I did try.
I'll watch the odd international game (even other countries) if it lines up now so the world cup did improve my opinion of the game, even if it didn't convert me to a fan.
Argentina, but I think Cabo Verde was the most interesting team this year.
Edit: Misread the question, sorry.
None, professional sports are unethical. If I do watch something I root for the underdog to hedge my entertainment.
I don't think there's much unethical really happening at my local uslw club, but whatever helps you keep a clear conscience.
That's the thing. You don't think.
As opposed to you, who thought very carefully about the uslw and the account you were responding to before leaving this incredibly well-informed and nuanced response.
I don't know why are you being offended here. You started a public question and got an answer. Professional sports being unethical is not my special magic take - it's well established topic of ethics so if you are curious why some might consider professional sports unethical you have plenty of resources to educate yourself.
None, never cared for soccer and never will.
