Yea, I'm getting plenty of that as well.
I end up asking them if they want to go catch a Sounders match, and they look at me like I'm an alien.
I agree.
I support my local club (Seattle Sounders, 2005 USL-1 Champions), and my national team (U.S.A.).
Sure, I love watching the EPL as much as the next guy, but I don't have a "connection" to those clubs.
If I was born there, grew up there, or even lived there for some time maybe I would not feel the way I do.
I just don't see how people can ignore their local club and just watch Euro/S.American/Mexican matches on tv.
I hope that some of these "fans every four years" start to attend MLS and USL matches.
