Hello everyone. I am new to the board and while not at all new to the sport (played organized for 10+ years) I am relatively new to the world of professional soccer/football/futbol (whatever your preferece ).
I'm 23 and just graduated from Indiana University, who has arguably the best college soccer program in the nation. We regularly draw thousands of fans to games (which is very good for an amateur team in the US), many of which I attended over the last 4 years.
Anyway, besides Indiana soccer, I've always followed the World Cups and Olympics, but never quite got into pro soccer....most likely due to lack of exposure, enthusiasm and overall talent here in the states. I spent the last couple of months in Europe and couldn't help but get extremely into the Champions League and Euro2008 tournaments. And for the first time, professional-level soccer in Europe has really attracted my interest.
My problem is, outside of a few players and the reputations of a few teams, I don't know much overall about the European leagues (English Premier, La Liga, Serie A, etc...). I'll be moving to Los Angeles in about a month and will happily support the Galaxy, but let's be honest, MLS just isn't that exciting to watch on a regular basis.
So, I ask you, members of worldsoccer.com, to help me find a European club in a competitive league to follow for the upcoming season. Why should I cheer on your favorite team at the start of the next season? Cheers!
