Soccer Fan Help Part 1 Anonymous
First off let me just get it out of the way that I'm an amerifag looking for help from eurofags on this one.

I've been thinking of getting into soccer, but there's about 50 different leagues. Which one should I watch and why?

None of them

The J-League, because 4chan is for weeaboos.

Premier League, Primera Division, Serie A, Bundesliga.

Serie A (Italian) = Tactical football. Mostly defensive football.

Primera Division (Spanish) = Flashy? (Not really, it stopped being flashy long ago.), its shitty football now. Attacking football.

Premier League (English) = Kind of a mix between Serie A and Primera Division.

Champions League
>> Anonymous
Premier League (England)
Serie A (Italy)
Bundesliga (Germany)

Premier League being the main one, watch some games from these and start getting into it.

Don't bother watching the english league, it's more satisfying to watch a pack of dogs chase a ball around a park. It's also the most commercially driven and therefore overhyped football league. This is why you hear about it most, not because it's better than other leagues. The Spanish League is of a higher standard and produces less predictable results.

Britfags will disagree and troll and go crazy as they do here. Ignore them, most of them have never watched a league match from another country because they are insular and stupid.

You have never watched a Premier League match. There's a reason 3 out of 4 of the Champions League semi-finalists play in the Premier League. The other one was knocked out by another PL team. It's the best league. There's no disputing this.

If you go for Premier league watch Arsenal or Manchester United. The other teams suck or play shitty football (Chelsea and Liverpool.).
>> OP
Seeing as how I'm an American I feel like I'd rather watch the flashy soccer than defensive so right now I'm leaning towards the spanish one.

Either watch Barcelona (Which should be changing almost all their team so give them a few matches to see what happens.) Or Real Madrid (Which doesnt have a ZOMG TEH BEST EVER!1111111 but try to play good.)

Or you could go for the underdogs Villarreal.
>> OP
Another question; do the non english leagues ever get broadcasted with english announcers?

It just kind of dawned on me that since I know very little about soccer it would be beneficial to have someone explaining what was happening.

I watch EPL matches almost every weekend. And I watched almost all of the CL matches this year. So I do know what I'm talking about.

You think the Champions league produces matches as entertaining as regular league fixtures? If so it really shows your ignorance of football.

English football isn't the best just because Sky Sports says it is. Wake up!

If you're in the US I think Setanta broadcast alot of different European leagues, all in English. You probably need to pay for that though.

I've never really seen soccer on TV except for on FSN, but I think they only show the English League.

Mostly I planned on watching these on myp2p.eu

This is the typical britfag response to someone stating that their league is not the best. As you can it is aggressive, claims that the poster is ignorant. And concludes by stating that the english league is the best and that there can be no further argument.

Unfortunately for britfags football wasn't invented 12 months ago which is about as far back as their memory stretches. English football is actually the least successful of the 3 major European leagues over time - but we're not talking about success, we're talking about entertainment and quality football. English football again falls way short on this front, but you'll have to watch for yourself to see what I mean here.

Fellow American here. Got into soccer when Arsenal was setting the record for consecutives games without a loss. The only channel I can get is Fox Sports Soccer, so I watch anything on. But if you can choose watch the Priemership and check Arsenal out they are highly entertaining to watch.

Fuck all these leagues, if you want good attacking REAL football watch the SPL.

I like your thinking! Rangers and Celtic all the way! Playing with 10 defenders and 1 goalkeeper is the best thing to ever happen to football.

Or cut yourself open and hang yourself with your own intestines. Probably less painful than watching a minute of SPL.

Arsenal play the best football in the EPL. They are worth looking at, but they are the exception in English football.

Champions League

And you might want to watch the big games in local leagues, Barcelona - R.Madrid, ManU - Chelsea, etc

the rest is not worth it.

MLS you nigger. Support your homeland. I don't care how shitty it is. Watch it. After all, you're watching it to begin with.. Why settle for quality.

Try Premier League, purely because its English. Then have a look at La Liga. Compare them, see how they differ, look at the kind of formations they use. Learning these two leagues will pretty much set you up in good stead. I only watch the Premier League but theres a show on late at night on a shitty channel over here called Goalissimo, shows loads of European highlights like Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Eredvisie, Serie A (Brazil)...

For all the fancy foreign football, they've won nothing in 4 years, and never won the big one. Also have the largest contingent of nigger/faggot supporters of any team in the EPL.

You'll never win it once, let alone 5 times.

Eredivisie, AFA Primera Division. You'll get to see many of the best young players playing purely for the love of the game for about a week or so, before they disappear into the enormous moneybags of the Axis of Realarsepooelsealona United Milan.

Only total faggots care about entertaining football (I'm looking at you geordiefags). As for English teams, you seem to be forgetting that pre-Heysel English clubs raped Europe on and off the field even with your shitty currupt referees, English clubs had to be banned from Europe to stop them raping Europes entire world.

revisionist britfag alert. you are the scum of europe don't forget. liverpool fans were responsible for both heysel and hillsborough but they see themselves as victims always. fucking pathetic people.

You should watch the EPL. Not because it's the best(it's not), but because it's getting more American every year. They wanted games in America/Asia in the begining of the season, and they'll probably change the rules of the game, so they'll be able to have more commercial time. Plus it's mostly brainless, so it'll be easier to follow if you're new.

For simplicity you should follow the Premiership.

You'll be able to watch a lot more games with English commentary, and the standard is high, arguably the best (but I'm not going to debate this).
