Do any of you follow European soccer?

[Huskers633]

Or football as they call it over there?

Premier League back this afternoon with a full slate tomorrow. I’ve been a super casual Everton supporter since back when Tim Howard played there (which is why I adopted them). Going to try to get more into it this season.

Everton are also the Nebraska football of English football. They have many league titles from years ago, had great success in the glory years, and have had more seasons in the top flight than anyone else. In recent years they’ve been downright awful, including just avoiding relegation on the final day of the season back in May. Much of their fall off has been due to internal dysfunction amongst the administrative brass. Sound familiar?

Anyway, wanted to see if anyone else will be following along. COYB!

I am a Tottenham fan, but even more I'm a huge fan of the USMNT. If there's a game on with an American player playing I'm usually watching. I'll watch the EPL on Saturday and Sunday mornings, but this year I had to start my Paramount Plus account back up with the Americans playing in the Italian League.

I'm a Euro snob. Big Liverpool fan, as well as an avid USMNT supporter.

I miss the OG American Outlaws who used to run it.

Liverpool here. Love the Prem. Go to England every year to catch some matches.

I follow Bayern Munich a bit. I lived and worked in Munich for a while, so they were on all of the time.

Right hand to God I became a casual Man City fan about 10 years ago when my little brother became a fan. I wasn’t into soccer much at that point and followed them loosely until a few years ago when my interest ramped up with my son being big into travel soccer.

Obviously last year was fun but losing Gundogan to Barcelona is going to suck.

As far as MLS I chose DC United when we moved to the area in July 2020. MLS games aren’t nearly as skilled/finessed when compared to PL games but they are still fun as hell to watch and go to.

Similar here. I adopted Man City years ago because I like about a dozen bands that came out of the city, but didn't want to be a wanker and support United. Now it's like being a Yankees fan, but since NU sucks, I'll take it.

Ok so I’ve never done fantasy PL before. Do we get to pick a new squad every week?

 

[Kaladin]

Not the least bit surprised.

I heard that there’s a correlation between men who watch soccer and men who like to suck on wieners

Logical

I am a closet West Ham United fan.

But I can't say I've ever watched them play for more than 5 minutes.

Man City…That’s like jumping on the Bama bandwagon. Sad really. 🙂

Saw the Hammers play at home this past spring…Bubble song is classic.

The correlation is more prem you watch the more vag you take down. This actually may be your problem.
