I was kind of thinking that. If the country started watching the MLS, there could be some reagonomics trickle down effect.

Start watching the English Premier League on NBC Sports. You will never want to sleep in on a Saturday ever again.

You're really not. At worst, support the NT over the next four years

I would start watching MLS next season (or whenever you see a game now). It's really entertaining, and their TV deal sucks exponentially less starting next year, so you'll actually be able to watch easily

As mentioned, the Premier League is easy to follow. Those who mentioned it can help you better with trying to watch it

one thing i like that keeps me into the EPL every weekend, is that it's not the same time as our other sports... that, plus NOLA not having a team, puts MLS on the backburner for me...

i know back in '10 though we had a big-time friendly against Brazil right after the world cup and it sold out metlife stadium... that was neymar's debut? any friendly in that spot this year?

I think I will try to keep up with the national team, but I doubt that I will start watching a league outside the US. I guess when ATL gets their team, I will maybe go to a match or two. However, for me it is like downhill skiing. I try not to miss it at the Olympics, but I don't really care outside of that.

However, if the national team plays in summers, that would be a good way to make the summer CFB doldrums go by more quickly. So excited that once this World Cup is over, then SEC media days is just around the corner.

Did you find a particular player on the team that became your favorite?

If so, find out what league he plays in and what team he plays for and start watching their matches.

That's what I did way back in 2002 (see my sig) and that led me to following MLS when Donovan was with San Jose. I didn't have access to many of his matches when he was in Germany but when he went to the Galaxy, I liked their style and the other players and that became my club.

A lot of our guys are in MLS so purchase MLS Live and start watching the matches.

Bradley - Toronto
Dempsey and Yedlin - Seattle
Besler, Zusi - Sporting KC
Wondolowski - San Jose
Gonzalez - LA Galaxy
Beckerman - Real Salt Lake
Davis - Houston

Then you've got guys who play in foreign leagues but give the MLS a try first and expand to the other leagues.

Oh, don't forget growing a neck beard, buying a pair of skinny jeans, buying a smedium USMNT jersey, get some nerdy glasses, wear scarves, and start drinking PBR.

In the same boat. I feel awkward just picking a team that I have no regional affiliation with or any childhood memories.

I suppose Dallas or Houston would be the ideal choice bc I could make it to a few games(saw Dynamo & Sounders a few years ago while in Houston), but I can't stand Texas teams in general. So I'm torn on following a team.

That's what I was trying to decide as well.

Dempsey is the obvious and Yedlin is really fun to watch and will be great, but I don't want to be that guy that roots for Seattle just bc of Demp.

I like Beckermans style.

Bradley is really good, but struggled a little out of his natural position. But a Canadian team??? Meh

I wish Cameron or Jones or Fabs were in the MLS, bc they were prolly my favorite during the WC
