I can't get fully into a club team either. It's so fricking contrived that I just can't handle it. Listening to Americans shite talk each other about Man U vs man city or some shite is just absurd to me. More power to you if you are able to look past that and enjoy it, I just can't.
I'm with you. It's not like I'm dissing those who will pick a team at random, without having a real connection to the team or city. I just don't really understand it. I find more joy watching and enjoying the game for what an awesome game it is. I also kind of feel like it makes you less biased when it comes to judging teams.

Then there is no point in explaining to you.

I needed a team. Though I played soccer, I haven't watched/played for 15 years. Suddenly deciding to take on leagues abroad is an enormous task for someone like me. I quite literally spent hours on end reading about leagues and clubs and players and managers trying to put together some overarching knowledge.
Anyway, picking/being drawn to a club helped me narrow my focus. Once I really started focusing my attention there, I could sprout out to league opponents, cup opponents, players with current or former connection, etc. It gave me a road map to how I'd tackle the game.
Kudos to those who can just sit back and let it come to them, that'd probably be a more natural way of doing it.

Because, in a lot of ways, the club game is a lot better than the international game
