Middlesbrough - my adopted Premier Football League team


I haven't really paid attention to football - or soccer, as we call it in the States - for a long time. I played it quite a bit up until high school, and I thought it was boring to watch, until I watched a game on T.V. with an actual soccer fan.

So, I'm going to follow a team. I picked the Premier Football League (U.K.), because I've actually heard of some of the teams - Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal.

But I want to support one of the middle-tier teams: all of the above teams are really popular and really successful.

So, once I found out that one of the teams is nicknamed 'Boro - and since I have recently lived in a cool community in Ohio called Springboro (also nicknamed 'Boro), I was sold.

So I am now officially a fan of Middlesbrough Football Club. Should be interesting.
