I think I may have found my team! I'm trying to stay open to all other teams, but Blackburn has really grabbed me. One of the few players in the EPL that I already know is American goalkeeper Brad Friedel. I became a fan of his during the 2002 World Cup. I also enjoyed watching Roque Santa Cruz and Christopher Samba in their last game. After doing a little research I discovered that their team captain, Ryan Nelsen, went to college at Stanford University, right here in the California Bay Area! I'm hoping all of their games are broadcast over here so that I can watch them.

Anything else you all might be able to tell me about them would be appreciated. Like who is their main rival?
