Does anyone follow US soccer?

I'm hunting for the most likely pick for winner & loser (first out) of the NCAA division 1 men's tourny.

Remaining teams:
Maryland, Ohio State, Connecticut, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, Wake Forest,
Massachusetts, Illinois-Chicago, Bradley, West Virginia, South Florida,
Notre Dame, Central Connecticut State, Creighton, Santa Clara, UC Santa Barbara

It's a work thing and I know squat about soccer. Ok honestly I know squat about sports in general.

I got 6 Liverpool v Marseille away Champions league Tickets & an Ollie for Chelsea v Liverpool at the Bridge if anyone is interested? If not they're going to my ticket tout in about 2 hours time for £400. A need a few more fan cards so I can buy more tickets & sell em on foe even more moolaah!!!

I don't like it when people buy tickets just to sell 'em on at a profit. You're stopping the ordinary folk being able to get a ticket as they've sold out and can't afford the inflated tout prices caused by these shenanigans. It's not something to be proud of imo

True, but I'm heartless. :P I keep some for meself & others I sell on. I rack up the 'Loyalty' & get some decent games. Gotta make money fella!

I swear the last tout shortchanged me by £20. Kinda hard counting out £400 odd outside your office building in the middle of London with security cameras on ya.

I'm looking out for number 1. If I aint doing it then someone else will be.

Nooo in America it's called soccer.
If I asked if anyone followed american football I'd get about 10 responses with folks telling me that none of those teams are football teams.

If I had asked if anyone followed European college "X", I'd have said football.

Just adopting the corrected vernacular for the target audience.

But considering that I've had zero useful responses I'll certainl;y try it the other way. Maybe some of you non-US types follow US football (though I can't imagine why..)
