Arsenal and Chelsea are more popular than Man City.

Until the Qatari purchase, I'm not sure I had ever met a Manchester City fan.

It's not entirely surprising that American fans would flock to the more successful clubs in the league.

Before Klopp's glory years, I used to say that Liverpool was the perfect team for a Notre Dame fan to cheer for. Formerly the most storied club in the league, futilely and tragically chasing lost glory. I would say a part of me misses the romance of that era, but we might be headed back there again!

City isn't own by the Qataris

Liverpool isn't much like Notre Dame at all.

Notre Dame fans don't typically get gassed outside stadiums, attack opposing teams busses, or hit a little girl in the head with a bottle filled with coins.

You want to draw parallels between Liverpool and Notre Dame becasue you are a Liverpool fan.

You sound pretty passionate...

about a team you've been a fan of for ten minutes.

Your 3rd paragraph is one of the reasons I follow Liverpool.

There are a few others, but that was part of the charm before Klopp came along.

For the original poster's question, the first soccer shirt in the house was an AC Milan shirt someone picked up at the airport in Rome, but the first soccer posters were two (2!) posters of Fernando Torres that one of the girls brought into the house when he was with Liverpool. Her younger brother glommed onto ManU at the end of their glory days. I don't know how B22 picked up Arsenal.

We're cycling back to 1994/1995 era ND. *
