I have absolutely fallen in love with the sport so I was wondering what league is the easiest and most fun to watch? I was thinking Man U and the premier league but I will let yall help me out with that.

The easiest to find on TV is definitely the EPL.

Watch any and every game you can. The Premier League is great and is available on NBC/NBCSN.

Premier League, yes, easiest to watch (besides MLS), and one of the best. Since it's broadcast in English, it's your best route. Germany, Spain, and Italy have great leagues, but not easy to watch.

Don't be a United fan, though. Dear God, why would you do that to yourself?

BPL is great but frick Man U.

I have a good friend here in Florida who is an Aston Villa supporter with family having season tickets at Villa Park. You definitely won't be accused of being a bandwagon fan if you support Villa.

EPL is easiest to watch in the USA. It's on NBC.

I wish the MLS would become a giant like la liga and Premier. I would go ape shite for a team in Baton Rouge.

Premier League is the best league and has the best media following in the U.S. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

What is wrong with Man U they are the most recognizable club with a great history. Is it kind of like rooting for the Yankees or something?

No, it's exactly like you are rooting for the yankees.

Pick Everton. That is a trendy pick, but solid.

The EPL is the most watched league in the world, but not the best. Fox Sports has the rights to the German Bundesliga next year, and BeIn Sports (a network you probably have, provided you have an extended cable package) covers La Liga in Spain.

South I didn't know you were a soccer fan too, just to let you know I love your pregame and postgame write-ups about lsu basketball. Well who has some very recognizable players and is competitive ?

What about Chelsea?

What league is the best then?

Serie A used to be the best but not anymore. Top to bottom EPL is the best league.

La Liga has 2 elite clubs. Serie A has 3. Bundesliga has 1. EPL has 4, maybe 5.

nah thats Real Madrid

but for real there is probably 10+ teams in world football that could be called the yankees.

In England its Man United or Liverpool but City and Chelsea are very much filling that mold of being the yankees right now.
