I follow plenty of teams but my fav is probably the Chicago Fire in the MLS. Likely they're going to make the postseason but not do much of anything once they're there.

As I'm writing this I'm watching FC Barcelona v AC Milan on ESPN3.com. Barcelona's winning - no surprise.

Went to my first game of the season today Leicester - Reading. Crap 5.20 kick off for the TV companies, which threw my head for the whole day, and I still felt ill from heavy drinking last night so the extra two hours to get ready weren't even apprecated. I don't know why I drag my usually still semi inebriated carcass to these spectacles; you have to suffer crowds of people with spikey hair, the horrible smells of offal in a bap permeates everything and stupid people shout at the back of your head for an hour and a half with only brief interval to take a piss half way through. And the toilets - you breath in the piss of a 100 sweaty proles when you enter these hazy saunas of excretion. The buses weren't running properly either so I had to wait 90 minutes (the length of the game itself) before being crammed onto another crowded hell hole to take me home.

We lost, naturally. If we'd won I'd be waxing about the wonderfully cordial afternoon I've just had.

I am a very big fan of the ''AC BESATE 1988'' (is probably the worst soccer club in Lombardy). but i support the FC INTERNAZIONALE Milano.

I don't know why but i hate in evil way the Cesena's soccer team...

My football heart is with my Norwegian team Lillestrom and Juventus. Have never been very interested in English football for some reason.

So there's Euro 2012 qualifiers tomorrow, and apparently ESPN3.com is airing all of the games here in the States. The question is which match should I watch? Here are the matchups:

FRIDAY, OCT 08
02:30 PM Wales vs. Bulgaria
02:30 PM Moldova vs. Netherlands
02:45 PM Northern Ireland vs. Italy
02:45 PM Germany vs. Turkey
02:45 PM Ireland vs. Russia
03:45 PM Portugal vs. Denmark
04:00 PM Spain vs. Lithuania (SPA)

All times Eastern (US).

Probably Germany - Turkey. There is a bit of a rivalry as you get a lot of Turkish immigrants in Germany (Ozil for Germany is of Turkish descent) and they are both decent teams.

Yeah, I'd second that actually. Avoid Wales.

Ireland v Russia might be a good one though...
