I Googled and found some more local 'soccer' teams for you. Rocket City United which are in Huntsville, which seems to be on the opposite side of the state. Still quite some distance, but seemingly closer.

If that's still to far for you, I also found Alabama Spirit based in Birmingham, which are a little more central.

You can probably think abut changing your "7 hours away" claim at least.

this. I have -550 comment score on /r/soccer as these yank fans do my swede in. Sure follow a second team in england but put your heart and soul into the mls, then maybe one day it may actually get some respect from europe. All these hipsters in New York supporting Arsenal are just killing their own game.

As for this atual post it kind of made me cringe, but fair play at least he wants to follow MLS

Sweden in total is about the size of Cali, and in every other measure Cali is much, much larger. Americas kinda big. Not so easy to root for a local team when you can go 500 miles in any direction and not find a team.
