This is not necessarily true.
You cannot spend more than "X" amount than you bring in, otherwise you get deducted points.
Except in the case of Man City, as they have been facing over 100 financial fair play violations for half a fricking decade.


It has to be a slow, gradual climb financially.

I picked Chelsea 2 world cups ago. Good news is you will dislike your fellow fan base. Perfect for LSU fans.

The Brits will call you a bandwagoner no matter who you support anyway, if you floated around communities in Reddit. Plastic applies to any American fan of any team because they love to gatekeep the sport and in particular their leagues the most of any other country I have ever seen.

the only thing Im worried about is liking a team and they get relegated which is something Ive never had to worry about before
A little relegation scrap or a couple years slumming it in the champo never hurt anyone, it keeps you alive.

Go watch the Leeds documentary on Prime, do a wiki overview of the last 6 years, then come join us in the season long thread.

As a bonus, their main message board is more vile than anything you could find on the OT.

EPL is the most enjoyable to watch IMO, but if you want to pick a team based on who plays for the USMNT here's some of the players in the top leagues in Europe that play or have played for USMNT and how to watch. Listed in the likelihood I would watch outside of the Champions League (Paramount+) which is must watch.

England
English Premier League (Peacock)
Brenden Aaronson Leeds United
Tyler Adams Bournemouth
Chris Richards Crystal Palace
Antonee Robinson Fulham
Gabriel Slonina (GK) Chelsea
Caleb Wiley Chelsea
Haji Wright Coventry City

EFL Championship and EFL League One are the 2nd and 3rd divisions (Paramount +)

Italy
Serie A (Paramount +)
Benjamin Cremaschi Parma
Weston McKennie Juventus
Yunus Musah Atalanta
Christian Pulisic AC Milan

Spain
La Liga (ESPN+)
Johnny Cardoso Atletico Madrid
Alex Freeman Villarreal

Germany
Bundesliga (Peacock)
George Bello LASK
Donovan Pines Grazer AK
Timmy Chandler Eintracht
Damion Downs Hamburg
Lennard Maloney Mainz
Gio Reyna Gladbach
Joe Scally Gladbach
Malik Tillman Bayer Leverkusen

Netherlands
Eredivisie (ESPN+)
Sergino Dest PSV
Kevin Paredes FC Utrecht
Ricardo Pepi PSV

France
Ligue 1 (beIN Sports) It's confusing, sometimes included with NFL Redzone
Folarin Balogun Monaco
Mark McKenzie Toulouse
Bryan Reynolds Rennes
Tanner Tessmann Lyon
Tim Weah Marseille

Spoken like someone who has never been to a match overthere.
As long as you have a true story and know a little history, they are as welcoming as LSU fans when you wear our colors.

I will say it was fun watching Welcome to Wrexham and following them from the national league to the championship. I'll continue following them in hopes they make it to the premiere league.

I've thought about watching their matches as they happen and not waiting for the show, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Aston Villa
Everton
Newcastle United
West Ham United

Are all still massive clubs.. they are the added 4 to the Big 6 IMO to make another group consisting of a 'top 10' if you will, by various criteria.

I was strictly speaking from internet terms. No one is going to give a shite IRL of course, if you know what you're talking about and aren't a douche about it. And never go full kit wanker of course. Wearing neutral colors at an away match would be ideal as well and is standard.

This fascinates me about the difference in sports cultures between the US and the UK. For golf, the US is brash and out of control. In soccer in the UK, away team fans have to sit in designated sections with lines of security up and down the steps to prevent them from beating the shite out of each other. I'm not arguing that US team sports fans are choir boys, but, for the most part, you can sit anywhere in a stadium in your teams colors and be fine. Obviously, Philly is the exception.

"Plastics" are people who choose a club but have made no effort to learn the club's history, traditions, songs, chants, etc. and have their phone camera on "record" the entire time when they attend a match. If someone makes an effort they will be accepted. IMO, the worst category of new supporters are "glory hunters." My advice is let the club choose you. Pick one that speaks to you and to which you feel an authentic connection.

Basically the opposite of Spain. I have Paramount+ and I’m planning on watching this fall. I know Haaland plays for Man City (I think ). I don’t have a favorite team but would like to follow one that’s aggressive. Thanks.


City scored the most goals last season, but them and Arsenal play more the Spain way. Control.

City has a new manager so it will look different.

It's a shame there is more of a barrier to becoming an EPL fan than 16 years ago when I started getting interested. It wasn't perfect when I started trying to watch, but, eventually, every single EPL game was available on NBC Sports. it was awesome. Now, it's just another service you have to pay for.



Peacock app is way better than NBC sports app ever was and all the games you can watch on demand.


And you paid for it in your cable package before. It's not like you were watching for free.
