Is a top tier club going to buy James Rodriguez? Im a huge fan.

Monaco is a top tier club ( backed by a shite ton of money). Only way they sell is if Rodriguez asks to leave, at which point there might be a massive bidding war, but more likely Real Madrid will pay a massive amount of money for him because that's what they do.

Dumb question, but are Ligue 1, La Liga, Serie A, etc. ever on television? Or is it just premier league?

If you have Bein Sports...

Is beIn a channel you can order or is only available on specific providers?

Tottenham Hotspur is the club for you. You will never be called a bandwagoner because they always disappoint. Lots of talent, sometimes it even shows.

This is always the answer. If all who don't want to bandwagon, choose Tottenham then isn't that in fact bandwagon?

Lots of great history

Funny

Yeah, Monaco should only get better unless there is something about finances I am aware of. I hope they can go blow for blow with PSG next year.

I have been playing with Monaco on FIFA for months because I have loved watching James for a while. I feel vindicated because he is balling out, but everyone knew he would be great.

Also, it was great to see Pogba finally have a dominant game. He basically locked up young player. We knew he would, but it is a matter of when he did it.

I think i am going to pick Liverpool, but im not sure.

My shortlist

Liverpool
Everton
Spurs
Arsenal

who should i pick

I'm too biased.

If you answered yes to all three, congrats you're an Evertonian.

Pretty good choice if you're an american just starting out, IMO.

I support Arsenal. When I chose to do so several years ago, I knew they had won the EPL while going unbeaten (but not untied) and played a nice, attacking brand of soccer.

The other teams in the top 4 at the time were:
1) Man U - didn't want to pick them as I knew they were always on top. Felt like picking the Yankees.
2) Chelsea - didn't want to pick them because I had two coworkers who supported Chelsea and I didn't want to fall in line with them.
3) Liverpool - Honestly, if I had researched their history with the number of championships and the Hillsboro tragedy, I might have picked them. But for the aforementioned reason, I chose Arsenal. Also Thierry Henry, who played for France when they won their World Cup, was the talisman for Arsenal, and before him was Dennis Bergkamp, who I enjoyed watching play in previous World Cups.

Add to those 4 Man City to make a top 5 these days. Everton, whose manager is Roberto Martinez from ESPN's WC coverage, and Tottenham are probably in the next tier. I don't think they'll ever win the BPL, but they will occasionally qualify for the Champions League.

Hope that helps
