Thanks to everyone who e-mailed suggestions for my new English Premier League soccer team that I haven't picked yet. Out of any challenge that I've ever thrown out to the readers, I can't remember getting a more passionate, entertaining and informative batch of e-mails. If anything, I'm even more dedicated to making the leap now. And this isn't going to be a half-assed thing, either. I'll be buying the merchandise, TiVo-ing the games, traveling to see a couple home games, throwing myself into the team ... I'm going all out. Obviously I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I'm a huge sports fan and it's becoming clearer and clearer that I missed the boat with the English Premier League and UEFA. Better late than never.
Anyway, I narrowed it down to three teams (don't worry, none of them is Manchester United) and will be making my official pick in next Wednesday's column. So stay tuned.

Does that mean that the three are Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea?
ReplyDeleteNeal's guess is Arsenal, Spurs, & Reading. Attractive soccer, young up & coming squad, underdogs with American players, respectively.
ReplyDeleteAny other guesses?

I actually wrote in and recommended him to take WEST HAM!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how we go..., but Neal's theory does have merit...
