US Soccer Fandom vs. European Football Fandom (Mapped)

  1. I call bullshit…

    Desportivo das Aves really? I bet they meant Benfica, and I’m not even a Benfica fan…

    Also… no Real Madrid or Barcelona or Inter Milano? No Bayern or Zenit, but then some really obscure teams like SheffieldFC and borussia moenchengladbach, really?

  2. Riders are popular in Poland because Polish punter was playing for them for like a decade. Why they are also popular in France and Spain, though?

    As for US, I can undersand BVB in Dakotas but lack of established brands is weird to say the least.

  3. A lot of people are pointing out the veracity of the data which is fair considering they labeled Crete as Cyprus on the European map 🙃 The author however does explain his methodology in the article if any data nerds here want to scrutinize it.

  4. I’m confused is it basically Google searches? Like the U.K. teams picked seem “off”. Newcastle maybe but Blackburn and Notts Forest?

  5. Why is New Mexico Cardiff City? As a city fan I find it a bit odd it’s not a higher league club there.
