The WUSA (yeah yeah, another abbreviation) doesn't attract a lot of attention here. I'll see if I can dig up attendance figures real quick. The past week's games drew between 4000-6600 people for each match. Nothing spectacular, I guess what your Div 3 teams draw? There are 8 teams in the league, mostly American players, with some Chinese, Brazilian and Norwegian players as well. There is at least one English girl, Kelly Smith I think is her name.
Now our Women's National Team does usually draw a decent crowd. There were about 80,000 that saw the 96 Olympic final against China here, and I think 90,000 for the 99 WC final here against, again, China. We've all seen Brandi's sports bra after she hit the winning PK. Aside from the competitions though, it still doesn't draw as well as our Men's team does in friendlies. Of course, when we play Central or South American teams, 50% or more of the spectators are ex-pats (or illegal aliens!

) of the visiting country.
I love watching soccer, personally. It's my second favorite sport to watch besides American College Football.

I find the Premiership to be the most entertaining league to watch, though Serie A and the Dutch Eridivisie are pretty skillful as well.
Fav team?

Magpies! Tho I was upset when Newcastle went with ntl: to be their sponsor over Newcastle Brown Ale. Heh, the beer is why I decided to support the team over the others ones! Got lucky and the Premiership match a couple of weeks ago on FoxSportsWorld was Newcastle vs Charlton where Shearer got his 200th Premiership goal.
Best match I've gotten to see? Liverpool vs Newcastle in 1997 (mighta been 96.) Liverpool goes up 3-0 in the first 45 at home. Newcastle storms back with 3 goals (I think 2 or 3 of them after the 75 minute mark). Seemed destined for a draw, but Robbie Fowler put in a header 3 minutes into stoppage time to win it 4-3 for Liverpool!
So I know you guys hate Man U, but do you pull for them to win in the Champion's League when they plan non-English sides?
