Do you think everything that's broadcasted in the US has a big following?

i speak english and the title says football. we im going to talk about about football, ya know NFL. its the pre-season and im hyped for the fall because it'll be something to watch. im going to root for the bears and Iowa hawkeyes. i even brought back a hawkeyes hat from the midwest while on vacation to wear during the games

i guess the league has gone to **** though. cant tackle with the head and male cheer leaders.. :/

anyone on here have a huge collection of rare sports cards?

Yeah don't care.

Yeah I hear what you're saying though it's a bit different here because we don't have all the top players playing here in just one place in the same way you would have with MLB in the US. You can find elite players and teams all over Europe and in South America. And even in places with smaller leagues like Scotland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium and Russia you can still see exciting stuff and there's a lot there to attract me to a game which the US doesn't have at the moment I don't think. Its seen as a retirement home a bit, not as bad as China or Qatar but room for improvement imo.

Fair enough bro

I think both our opinions got a full shot there

You should make Atlanta United your default MLS team like I did with QPR.

Birmingham Legion FC

Brummie bastards we are here, eat your corn dogs drink your beer

Not bad Wolves. Keep doing your thing you'll be OK.

Sir Harry

Well done Spurs. Enjoyed that.

I just spent some time reading the MLS Salary Cap rules.

1) it’s confusing af
2) they do need to raise it (but incrementally to keep balance in the league)

My team Atlanta United has a 25 year old bad ass from Venezuela

Josef Martinez

We might lose him to Europe but I wish him the best.

Btw, did you know Venezuela has never qualified for the World Cup?

They pump a bunch of dudes into MLB (baseball)
