by being born surrounded by a culture where everything relates to football, from mentioning a club in class when you're 5 and everyone screams or boos, to spending your teen years thinking and breathing football like it's the last thing you'll ever need in life.

or just support whatever club david beckham is in.

Hop on the Leicester City Bandwagon.

Don't listen to the other cucks in this thread. It's entertaining and fun to watch.

Look at your national team, some of them are in european teams or used to be in them

Bam, now you can choose what teams to bandwagon

Watch Match of the Day for a few weeks. It's a highlights program that airs every Saturday night on the BBC.

well if you want to follow every single American on the Internet, you need to be an Arsenal fan

they're just bad enough so you won't get accused of being a bandwagoner and just good enough to win most of their games so you feel good about yourself

>>64458330
Portugal have gotten to the final 4 of the world cup and been in the final of the European championships in recent years....better than America in that same time frame m8

Portugal also cares a lot more about football than the US. Also they knocked us out twice.

Star at the very bottom. Learn. Then rise to the top. So start with a plastic club like Chelsea or City then make your way up to a proper club with a huge committed, global fan base and a rich history, like Liverpool or Arsenal or Man U

build the wall motherfucker and then leave my country

OP here. Are there any teams that have black/white/silver team colors? I'm a big fan of that color combination, I cheer for the San Antonio Spurs in basketball because they have those colors, and the L.A. Kings in hockey and Oakland Raiders in American football for the same reason.

I know this is autistic but I'm 100% serious. Are there any clubs with those colors? Idc if they're a shit team.

just find a team that conveys your emotions/political views and watch it?

Newcastle

>>64458596
Newcastle

Chelsea's away kit is black and white too

Leicester's away is black and white I believe as well?

But yeh newcastle is your best bet, and they're playing in 20 minutes
>>
>>64458596
Tottenham are a good choice, they will never be relegated and have a chance at winning things, but aren't too good so you won't look like a bandwagoner. Their nickname is also the Spurs so works well.
>>
>>64458596
This >>64458678

Ignore the memesters saying Newcastle, their fans are all totally obnoxious and their team is terrible this year.

honest question
How does a typical football season start and end? The closest I got besides MLS is LigaMX but I heard MLS is different from European football schedules and my father and I rarely if ever talked about LigaMX.

And what is their version of playoffs? How does that work? How does one become the best in their league and crowned champ?
>>
>>64458703
There's no playoff system in soccer, just a league round robin with a game home and away. In its place there is an entirely seperate knockout only cup competition in each country, and on top of that there is a Europe wide competition called the Champions League that you have to finish well in your national league to qualify for, which is the most prestigious of the lot.

But they do, they've won cup competitions recently and had a CL run that was fun to watch. Given how badly everyone is shitting the bed this year they'll probably qualify this year too.

1st at the end of the seson is champion, no playoffs

1. Find a team you like
2. Support it
3. Don't give a shit about people who yell 'LE BANDWAGON LE LE LE', contrary to what you hear on here, nobody cares about those people
>>
>>64458822
It was the best answer to his question lad, given his stipulations. No easy choices for a bandwagon team now anyway, 5 years ago Arse was the obvious choice but Wenger will be leaving any year now and they might well go full Liverpool at that point.

>>64458129
Don't waste your time mate. MLB and NBA are far more entertaining and superior sports than football. I only regret that I only got into US sports the last few years. Been loving Golden State Warriors this season, going to try and see a game next year when I visit.

LEICESTER AWAY KIT


I'm sorry, but did the Foxes already drop from first place? Oh, that's right. The season isn't even over yet. In fact, it's only December. Does losing to Liverpool while maintaining first place count as a loss? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make this topic when Leicester is still first? The Foxes still have plenty of games left and they have been the best team in the 'E'PL for how many weeks now? They just played one of the worst teams in the '''E'''PL who just happen to have a got a win because they're feeding off the energy of a 2-2 draw against West Brom. But you know what? They still fucking suck. Leicester are one of the best fucking teams in the Premier League, they went 11-8-19 last year and would of won the Premier League if Pearson spent his time coaching his players instead of chocking them. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when Leicester wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, Leicester practically won their next game already because they only have to play Manchester City -- an Eredivisie team no less, Are you fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti-Foxes topics because you're a faggot hater who doesn't like the team because they're good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking teams on the board, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your threads now, you're a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don't you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That's just you, you're always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

watch liverpool and experience that liverpool feel m8

Watch your local MLS team first and the US National team.. then maybe go for a team in Europe.
>>
>>64458129
Be socially awkward and unable to fit in with the people around you so you try to adopt European mannerisms with a false hope that the people across the sea will accept him. They wont.
>>
First off you really can't just "get into" football, you've really gotta soak it up like a sponge, learn the chants, learn the atmosphere. Spend a few summers in Europe and really learn the trade then you can come back and do chants for your local club, perhaps even being able to lead chants if you get good enough at finding out what songs at what times produces results for the club.

Usually it's some beta male college guy trying to get in on foreign exchange girls vjj. He's trying to fit in and never was good at other sports so soccer is moot.

That's usually it. I've tried watching soccer. No way, fuck that shit. Baseball is bad. Basketball too many points. So nfl and mma

Teach them to enjoy grown men jogging around on a field for 90 minutes. 1-0 USA good game. If other players touch it is a penalty. No rough housing. Sometimes guy grab each other's dicks and asses to piss their opponents off. If they get away with it, it is applauded. If someone shoves you, shoving them back is seen as rebellious and edgy. Occasionally players will run real fast then kick the ball. That is exciting

>spend 400$ in online shopping on merchandise that will make you look autistic for a team whose coach's name you can barely pronounce

And you're set

I got lucky and had a cool German language professor to shoot shit with about games and watch them after class in one of the Humanities lounges with other humanities professors
>>
>>64460189
That's the idea. A soccer game is boring sport. Every fucking game 99% of the game is exactly the fuck same over and over and over again the same fucking shit

So take dick out

You don't.

Yes, you can trivialize any sport to a nature such as this and find this comment valid. It's not an argument.

if a winner is declared in the end of the season by how many wins they have in total doesn't that erase the excitement ? A team can be 10 wins over everyone and able to lose their final 9 and still win the league .

Better than EPL still right?
>>
>>64461197
Usually it's decided 2 or 3 games before the end of the season.

That's why german and french leagues suck so bad
>>
if I only care about memes what team should I support?
>>
>>64461197
True, it can be pretty much over a few games early, but this by no means always happens. And it's never over 10 games early - at least not in any league that anyone cares about.

On the other hand, every game matters throughout the season for teams trying to win the league. It's not like, say, the NFL, where you can lose a few as long as you go to the playoffs. The teams challenging for the league need to try to win every game.

Two different systems, both have pros and cons.
