The #1 challenge of supporting an American soccer team

Related Topics: Major League Soccer

Most fans will agree that the single greatest asset any American soccer team has is its supporters. In a recent BW interview, author Phil West mentioned the importance of supporters’ groups in MLS:

For the earliest groups, and even with relatively newer groups like Timbers Army, ECS, Sons of Ben, and your C38, I see supporters' groups as catalysts for energy in the rest of the stadium, and something that contributes to the atmosphere in the stadium. It allows soccer to be an organic live experience that you just won't get in, say, an NBA game, where there's such a clear orchestration of the fan experience directed from the front office.
