Forums - Sports Discussion - What sports teams do you "root" for?

"Root for" sounds strange, we say support here in the UK

Anyways, mine would be
Football: Manchester City & Barcelona
Rugby: Sunwolves

And that's about it really.

I thought you liked those pink guys from Osaka too.

My Favorite Sports team, by far, are the San Francisco Giants.

I started watching baseball around 2004-2007. Living in Reno, Nevada at the time, we had access to all the Bay Area sports channels and teams. Around that time, Barry Bonds was on his rampage in pursuit of the all-time home run record. Say what you will about all the controversy surrounding him and steroids, and all that, but I didn't care about any of that because, oh my god, he was so awesome to watch. I was instantly hooked. Seeing that ball just pop off his bat and land in the water as many times as it did had me in awe. 2006 and 2007 weren't good years to be a Giants fan as far was their record went, but that didn't matter to me at the time as much as seeing Barry break the record. '756' is still my all time favorite baseball moment. With 2010, 2012, and 2014 all being very close behind it of course.



NFL - Oakland Raiders and New Orleans Saints
NBA - New Orleans Pelicans
NCAA: LSU
Premiere League: Manchester United FC
MLS: Houston Dynamo

That should be good enough for the eventual datamine.

Oh yeah, international football. Forgot that exists. Argentina, then.

As for clubs I sympathize with, I would give a shoutout to Borussia Dortmund. I care more about them than anyone else.

A South American... forgetting that international football exists.... like 3 weeks before the World Cup starts. Wow!

+1 to Borussia Dortmund sympathy though. For starters their yellow/black kits always look awesome, those colours work great together and really stand out from the red/blue/white monotony, but also, they're not Bayern which is a huge plus!

After this World Cup I plan on forgetting international football exists. With the next World Cup in the winter and expanded Euros, African Cup, Asian Cup and World Cup that has 2/3 teams making it out of their group and qualifying less interesting. Plus the Nations League oversaturating it more.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

In Australia "root" means to have cloitus, not sure I have ever done that for a team, but I would say if I had to choose a team I barrack for it would be the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL) (Note: Football here is very different to any other World code)
