You're better off just watching when the WC comes around every 4 years. Soccer, or "football as it's known as overseas, is incredibly boring/unpopular outside of World Cup time. It's not a day-to-day type sport like NBA, NFL, etc since it get's really boring and there's like a million teams you have to follow.
Don't listen to this.
This helps, but still a little biased/wrong. No Arsenal or Manchester City in the "Premier league big teams"?? lol, Man City are the current champions ffs.
Also, the Eredivisie IS quite competitive, yes Ajax have won the last 4 in a row, but they were made to work for it.
I watch premier league, La Liga and Eredivisie. IMO, the premier league is the most entertaining league. High tempo/intensity games, the fans are more invested and the managers are more charismatic ... last year you Wenger, Mourinho, Moyes, Di Canio ... their reactions to some of the goals/moments were great.
Sorry Liverpool fans, I actually wanted Liverpool to win by this point, but Mourinho's celebration was hilarious and epic:
Last season was a very entertaining season, Man Utd falling apart under their new manager, Arsenal dominating and then falling apart after christmas (happens every season, TBF), Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea playing leapfrog till the end. Sunderland surviving relegation.
The champions league as mentioned is to determine the "best team in Europe" and IMO, has the highest quality of football in the world, moreso than the world cup. Some of the goals you see in the champions league are just top drawer.
This season is already shaping up to be a classic, Man Utd have a new, kind of "controversial" manager, Arsenal and Liverpool have made some signings, Chelsea have strengthened A LOT, Man City have been quiet, but expect some big signings anytime soon.
The premiership season starts August 16th!! Get involved!!
