In those days, we didn't need a sports package because we had ESPN, ESPN2, etc. You had to go out of your way to find soccer. You couldn't just stumble upon it on a regular basis.

1986ish
The only soccer on TV, was on PBS, soccer made in Germany(From Late 70's to 1988).
But a friend of mine who played club and some soccer in Europe had a friend who sent us VHS tapes of games from England while in junior high and high school.
The Majority were Liverpool, and then later he would send games with Juventus. I became a John Barnes fan, but of the 2, i liked the Juventus kit, and i knew so many Italians, that not being an Inter or Milan fan would lead to good shite talking nights.
I kind of wished he had sent tapes of other championship/league teams. Would of been nice to follow some of the lesser supported clubs. Thus, when they reach the top, u really can feel the passion of that base.
Now, we have teams buying trophies and american fans.
