Across the pond, you get laughed at if say you are from London, and you are following Liverpool and Manure United. They way it works, people are tied to their local teams primarily, and everything else is just fluff e.g. you like a certain world player, who now plays in a different country league for some local team. E.g. Lionel Messi playing in Spain for Barcelona. You don't all of a sudden become a Barcelona fan
