Arsenal haha
Atletico Ottawa (Canadian Premier League), followed by Tottenham Hotspur.
Rumours are pretty strong that I'm about to get a local club in League2 Ontario, so they'll end up taking over the #1 spot in my support & knocking the other teams down a spot.

I realize Canadian soccer is going to be exceptionally niche here, so I'll give a quick layout for the majority of people who are completely unfamiliar.
For men's soccer:
The top of the USA "Pyramid" is Major League Soccer, which has 3 franchises in Canada.
The Canadian "Pyramid" has the Canadian Premier League as our 1st division, and no 2nd division (plans are for CanPL to split at 16-teams). Our 3rd division is a series of separate leagues under the League1 Canada label (Ligue1 Quebec, League1 Atlantic, League1 Alberta, League1 BC, League1 Ontario). Starting in 2024, League1 Ontario is splitting into 3 leagues (L1O Premier, L1O Championship, and L2O) with promotion & relegation. Below that are various youth/amateur leagues.
For women's soccer:
League1 Canada has women's teams as well. They also occupy the 3rd division position.
A pro-division (Project 8) is currently being developed for a 2025 launch.
How our national women's team has remained so competitive, is something of a mystery.
Tottenham or tottenham hotspur not hotspurs OR 'Spurs' and not 'the spurs' COYS....anyway coyscoyscoys
This kind of gatekeeping is why Arsenal is more popular that Spurs across North America...
Newcastle for nearly 30 years now.
Real Madrid and Universitario
Benfica
The Arsenal!
In MLS, it's New England.
Schalke..
Spurs, obviously.
What do you think about the new manager appointment?
A fan of Chelsea since the 97/98 season when I fell in love with Vialli, Zola, and di Matteo and how they played!
I've been a Chelsea fan since the Ranieri days. Hope we have a good transfer window this time.
United, but I'm more of a follower than a fan
Sporting Kansas City
Liverpool here. Through the good times and the bad - about 35 years, in fact.
As disappointing as last season was we're still a million miles away from the dross sprinkled in over the last 30 years that's for sure
Leicester City!
Liverpool here although started going to Notts County games too from last season
hardcore fan of man united, real madrid, and ajax and I really like to watch fiorentina from the serie A
I know it's weird to be a fan of 3 clubs, but I grew up with those teams, dad is a fan of real madrid, my brothers are fans of man united, and I came to love ajax by myself
