Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 3940097, member: 362"] Do/Did you play and/or coach? Never played organized, regrettably (due to concussions and genetics) played football in HS because girls. Coached at different points for both kids U6, U8, U10 and U12 When did you first start following soccer? I remember watching replays of EPL matches before they were on live back in late 90s and early 00s and remember watching WC94 every chance I got. Also Fifa 98 for N64 was (is) the goat as far as soccer video games go. Started REALLY following in mid 00's and decided on Liverpool as my team around 07-08 season. Couldn't pick United as they were most popular so worked through the rest of the league and fell in love with the history of LFC as well as Stevie G. When did you first start following USMNT/USWNT? Don't follow religiously but watch if they're on. Again WC94 is first tourney I really recall watching at length. Cheer for Germany more so since my grandmother immigrated for there. She passed before I was born so one means I still somewhat feel connected to her. When did you first watch a World Cup game? WC94 When did you first watch a Euro/Copa America game? Whenever they became fairly readily available state side, early 2010s I think When did you start watching European club matches? Which league(s)? Mid 2000s. EPL followed by Bundesliga, Serie A and now sometimes Primeira Liga, La Liga and Ligue 1. I love the game and is always my first go to if/when chance to watch something arises. College too is Cuse is involved, would still love one of the SU orange and blue hoops shirts... would be my go to for every football game in the dome in place of the Orange Virgil kit Ive been rocking since 17/18. When did you first start watching Champions Cup/Champions League? Sometime during the Rodgers era but have been watching intently since Klopp came on board and we've been involved and competitive most years. Brendan rolled out a Liverpool team in 2014 vs Real Madrid that was comically not competitive as we were pushing for league and paper thin depth wise. When did you become a fan of your current club team? Around 07-08 though can't recall exact years. Stevie G highlight video hooked me and same time of underdog mentality that's always been part of my Cuse football fanhood made it a natural fit. My cousin got me a Liverpool kit for a wedding present (2010) which is first of 4 kits I have along with 2017 Virg Orange, 2018 Red Salah, and 2005 Istanbul rerelease that came out few years back. I love how many people can now talk in depth about football (soccer) seemed to really take off 5-8 years ago. Couldn't really have any intelligent convos prior as most only knew the superstars or hadn't given it a chance because "non contact sport and all the diving". Have a handful of friends now that are avid followers that wouldn't give it the time of day prior until I convinced them to watch it as the moving chess match it is. [/QUOTE]
