I was in the supporter section and even from there, i couldn't believe it. Sofia only scores bangers.

[The Women's Game @WomensGameMIB]

SOFIA CANTORE WITH A BANGER...AGAIN! 🚀

A brilliant team move from the Spirit, capped off by a perfect ball from Trinity Rodman to the Italian forward, who finishes in her usual style

I feel like this needs to be said:

It is perfectly acceptable to like, support, and watch multiple soccer teams.

Fandom is not mutually exclusive.

It is, in fact, possible for one person to like and support:

• Their local MLS team
• A Premier League team
• A team from their family's country of origin
• The team of their favorite superstar player
• Two different national teams
• An NWSL or WSL team

And guess what?

You can like 'em all at the exact same time.

I know this might seem odd to footy fans around the globe, but that's soccer in America.

Is is the most fragmented, nuanced, confusing, dynamic, wonderful, ever-changing set of sports fans in the world.

It's one of the primary reasons I started @NameAndNumber - because soccer in America is unquestionably the most difficult sport to navigate of ANY of the sports.

And I love it.

Let's try something:

If you've gotten this far, and you're a soccer fan who lives in America, I want you to drop your favorite teams (and players if you like) in the replies - with one sentence as to why you like each of them.

I guarantee the replies will surprise a lot of people.

I'll start...

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

maybe Australian media is undervaluing the socceroos' effort versus egypt. Egypt looks quite lively next to Argentina.

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

Doku and Lukaku only coming on now, this could be a bloodbath.

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

@j_football_now I was surprised by Antlers getting Charizard, but they've earned the big guy from their success. Admin, how can Americans watch J League?

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

I pity the fan who'll want to trek to 60 clubs to collect all those shirts.

That said, I'd love a Marinos Pokemon shirt, personally.

[COPA90 @Copa90]

Every one of Japan's 60 J.League clubs is getting its own partner Pokémon.

Guess you gotta catch them all.

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

If that first penalty got put away we'd be talking about overtime. But hats off for the the Norway keeper Nyland. Legendary performance.

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

All I got to say is that the telemundo play-by-play guy seems to have a lot of fun saying "Oscar Bobb"

[CommBank Socceroos @Socceroos]

It wasn’t the ending we wanted but thank you Australia for your steadfast support at home and abroad. 💚💛

#Socceroos #FIFAWorldCup

[Tim Cahill AO @Tim_Cahill]

So proud of the @Socceroos performance. Big thank you to all the players and staff. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

Never great to get knocked out, but proud of these Socceroos. Tons of young talent. They'll be back in the WC in no time.

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

Valiant effort to get a draw. Hope we can pull through. but need some magic. Come on Socceroos

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

Country Roads is one of my dad's favorite songs. I choose the Socceroos every time but it's heartwarming to hear it so often recently.

[FOX Sports @FOXSports]

'Take Me Home, Country Roads' plays in San Francisco Bay Area Stadium after the @USMNT Knockout Stage victory 🇺🇸

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

After that amazing free kick there was no shot. Well done USA. Wonder if they'll be able to pressure offensively without Balogun next match.

[Adri @adri_dcdm]

Chattanooga has been on my to-visit list for awhile. but wow what a well done video.

[Selección Española Masculina de Fútbol @SEFutbol]

❤️ THANK YOU, Chattanooga.

I'm sold. I'd get his jersey. The way old folks talk about Bias, he was such a legend.

[Chase Hughes @chasedcsports]

AJ Dybantsa invoking Len Bias is *extremely* impressive ball knowledge for a 19-year-old.

Also he’s spot-on, that’s a great comp.
