These people sure seem serious about their soccer, but I don’t have a home team.

Should I just copy my wife? It might be funny to root against her soccer team sometimes tho.

What is hexbears opinions on British soccer?

If you want to follow a team but don’t plan on going to matches: Celtic or Liverpool - probably the more left leaning fan groups in British football.

Otherwise whichever team is the closest, and attend some home matches. Watching a match in person is one of my favourite things. I don’t really enjoy watching most matches on tv, but I almost never regret seeing a match in person.

Also, I forgot to mention, find a club that has a women’s side (that they don’t totally neglect) and attend the women’s matches. The fans are generally more pleasant and the football is just as enjoyable to watch.
