Also would help if you understood the game a lil. And no USA is not the best country for soccer, but you should watch them any chance you get because we want the sport to continue to grow in popularity.

EPL is the best league IMO. Basically is the easiest to watch on a week to week basis here in the US. I root for Arsenal, but it was from years back watching a lot of soccer and learning players names on fifa. They had one of my favorite players of all time, Dennis Bergkamp. When i first started playing soccer, i was in love with dutch football. my coach introduced me to Ajax amsterdamn. Now i would watch more ajax games, but i havent seen dutch games on since it was fox sports world instead of fox soccer.

Boats, fancy seeing you here.

EPL (English Premier League) and Manchester City.
Man U is every English person's favorite but there all just a bunch of wankers anyway

Soccer football vs real football, which one has more strategy involved? Or is more complicated in the play I guess is what I'm asking. Not sure how to word this one.



Definitely football has a vast, vast degree more strategy. Every single play is drawn up and planned intricately as part of a wider philosophical approach, be it west coast, downfield passing, run heavy, whatever.

In soccer, there are also several philosophical approaches, and formations can win or lose a game, but it's much more down to individual players to express themselves. One moment of brilliance can be the difference between a draw and win.

And that's the same in football, a running back might suddenly break one for 67 yards or a QB might scramble for 5 seconds before finding someone downfield, but because the scores are so much lower, the margin between winning and losing is so much smaller. Because of this, the best team doesn't always win, this can be great and also frustrating.

Manchester United are by far the most hated team in England. They're probably also the best supported, either Man Utd or Liverpool. Chelsea are probably second most hated.

I had a 7 hour car ride, and plenty of questions that needed answering. Why am I a douche?
