To Americans who watched this

This movie made me love the game even more. I have only started following the EPL about 2 years ago, and now I will support Tottenham until I die. My friend, who is a diehard Liverpool fan, wanted to get me into following the EPL and we settled on Spurs a couple years ago and I've done nothing but fall more in love with English football since.

I wish we could get more coverage here, but the matches we do get to see are all just the bigger clubs, so at least sometimes I get to see Spurs. I hate clubs like Arsenal (obviously) and Chelsea, and because of my friend I am already at odds with Liverpool and I hate how Man City's solution to everything is to just throw money at it. I definitely have a lot of respect for clubs who don't have the big name recognition or the money, and I tip my hat to their supporters. But, personally I don't think I've ever met a West Ham supporter, but I imagine this movie grabs new ones all the time!

COYS!

Well I'm in Canada... I'm a big Inter fan, but I'll watch just about any team play. I'm glad that the MLS is starting to grow. I know most people *beep* on it, but there is no other way to spend a summer day. Then to watch my Toronto FC, most likely lose at home. The atmosphere is a drug that I love!

I am american and also a huge sports fan, if this movie had anything to do remotely with football, then maybe. don't get me wrong i enjoyed the movie, but it is not about the sport of football, its about the firms themselves, which while interesting, does not teach us anything about football....i suppose that the film covers the most extreme of football subcultures, one so extreme that it has very little to do with the sport itself....its like me opening a thread to ask all europeans if after watching the Basketball Diaries, "are you now more interested in the sport of basketball"...the answer would be "no, just heroin" and my answer to you is the same ...no, just fighting.

I love this movie. Movies like this and playing Fifa on my PS3 helped me get into football. I am an American and I cheer for the Gunners.

Yes, this movie helped develop an interest in English football. That and I started watching the Premier League Review Show on Fox Sports on Sunday nights. I liked the way this fellow named Jimmy Bullard played and started following Hull matches. So now Hull City, relegated after last year to Championship, has a fan living in Texas. I've always liked Gerrard and I liked what Carroll was doing for Newcastle this year. Now that he is at Liverpool with Stevie I have been following them more closely. I also have developed likes and dislikes of certain managers. I like Owen Coyle (Bolton), Mick McCarthy (Wolverhampton), Steve Bruce (Sunderland), and Kenny Daglish (Liverpool). This makes their matches more interesting to watch for me.

I have a few friends who follow English football. They follow Arsenal, Liverpool, Portsmouth, and West Ham.

I'm from Texas and im a huge Everton follower.We will have better days COYB!

My first real exposure (being an American) did come from this film. Tho before seeing it i fiddled with the FIFA games but wasnt familiar with any teams. Really became a fan from how gritty West Ham seemed. Working class team if you will. None of that Manchester U crap. And to a previous post, not only do colleges have the same type atmosphere with passion, cant forget Yanks vs. Sox. Almost guaranteed to get ugly if your in Boston wearing a NY hat/shirt/jersey. Same as in NY. But here just like anywhere else, as soon as beer is introduced, theres gonna be a brawl anyway..
