Just tune into Man U and watch Januzaj grow....
Too bad his dad is trying to run his future. Wish he would have taken the call up from Belgium.
Seems like he's not eligible for England. This summer could have been another like Michael Owen in 98..

Just watch until one team catches your eye.
I picked my team because I really liked Thierry Henry and he was playing for Arsenal at the time. Even after he left I still appreciated Arsenal's style of play and was kind of stuck.

The midfield is very crowded.

Stoke City brah!

I've always liked Stoke. Its good to see a side not afraid to get into tackles and play physical. Some might say thuggish but whatever. Its a style I can relate to. Good on them for playing to their strengths when its seen as a bad thing in this Barcafied world we're living in.

Thanks for all the responses!
I'm going to take my time, as I haven't seen everybody play.
It's starting to feel natural to pull for Arsenal because I play with them on FIFA a lot and love their unis, but I'm going to give West Ham, Southampton, and Everton a shot.

EPL is the easiest league to follow in the States, but I suggest choosing a Serie A club. AS Roma is fun to watch and has Baby Bradley. As good a choice as any.
If you choose Lazio, you're dead to me. I'll allow Juventus though, simply because of Pirlo.

Bein Sport. If you have NFL Red Zone you probably have it.

If you don't mind an old man's (relative to this board) rambling?
I'll second the notion that you watch the league this year, and find that team you seem to enjoy with players you like, but more importantly, a style and atmosphere you like. After all, football has gone the way of all other sports where guys are free to pursue other clubs after their contracts are up. So there's a lot of turnover just like here in all our sports.
That's why you pick a club, and not necessarily because of players. 9 out of 10 will leave that club. Steven Gerrard, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard, and John Terry are rare birds in today's environment.
I got into First Division football in the late 1980s after visiting Italy in 1984, started reading World Soccer and got to know the English clubs. Saw some videos and matches and was drawn to Arsenal and Southampton...great unis and great grounds. Sadly both Highbury and The Dell are long gone.
After 1990, U.S. players started going over, mostly goalkeepers, and John Harkes at Wednesday, watched the Premiership come into existence and United build a powerhouse. But as a U.S.MNT supporter, I still had a soft spot for anyone who took Americans.
THEN Eddie Lewis and Brian McBride went to Fulham. Carlos Bocanegra soon followed, and I had a club. Eddie Johnson, then Dempsey got there, and even Kasey Keller (after a long successful career in England with Millwall and Spurs). I've been a dedicated Fulham supporter since about 2004, now.
Give it time, and find a club who's ownership philosophy you like, who's supporters create great atmosphere, etc. Fulham currently have no Americans, but they fully embraced them, and I've now chosen.
