Remember when Bill Simmons went about looking for an English Premiere League team to cheer for and ended up taking Tottenham Hotspur? Well, Philadelphia Eagles fans now have their very own British soccer team to root for. Unfortunately, they play in Football League One which is 2 levels below the EPL. Why Millwall? Because "unnamed investors - thought to be linked with the Philadelphia Eagles American football team - want to sink an initial £5million into the Lions." (Mirror UK)

And, as Bob from the Offside (and fellow Eagles fan) tells us, "Millwall's fans have a reputation for thuggery much like the Eagles fans. A marriage made in heaven." Well, that clinches it for us. Go Lions! (Now, to do something about those Cowboys colors...)
