    It is cool that Ben likes Arsenal. Too bad with his next sentence he sounded like a glory hunter... :)

    yeah, he might like Arsenal but he also like ManU!!!

    maybe he just likes teams in Red... wonder how he feels about Liverpool!

    No. He said, all the top teams. So that rules out Liverpool.

    Sounded to me like he said he likes to watch good players play and does not really care what team they are playing for. I don't see a problem with that.

    I read it as "if any top team in the world asks, they're my favorite team..."

    If MLS is on, watch that. If not, go for the "eye candy." Good call, Ben!

    You sound like my sister. My dad got her a game worn Olsen jersey for her birthday a few years ago and she cried.

    I don't know. There was actually a game where I ended up in the President's box and was sitting next to Ben and Marco (Ben was injured and Marco had a red card). When I asked Ben for an autograph for my sister, I told him she had a game worn jersey and he asked if they washed it. He was a really nice guy, by the way.
