How do you get into soccer

By getting out of gay

>>74684247
u can start with calling it football

By being born into a plebeian culture that borderline worships the shitty sport.

Just become a /lifelong/ lehcestah fan like me m8

Born and raised in frog island here innit

>>74684282
How did you know iwas gay

>>74684301
gay people usually don't add question marks to their questions,

how else would i know

>>74684294
Only hipster faggots call soccer football

Forget club shit. It's retarded. Get involved in international football and root for white teams. Your best bet for this WC is Germany, so root for Germany. You want shitskin 3rd world countries like Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, and Spain to get BTFO by the patrician countires such as Poland, Belgium, England (LOL), etc.

>>74684385
cringe

Non-Shitpost Answer is buy FIFA. At least that's how I got into it. Pick a team to start a story mode or franchise mode or whatever with.

The transfer system was pretty foreign to me so that took some getting used to, but other than that it's the best way to get really into soccer.

Fuck MyTeam though. Literally the dumbest, Jewiest, money-grabbing game mode ever created.

>>74684247
Go out and support your local team, the seasons here are starting up and between the MLS, NASL, and USL there's bound to be a team within driving distance of you

There's an app called FotMob that tells you each match that happens everyday in all the major leagues or cups or international competitions, and shows the TV networks they'll be on

If you're coming from other american sports and want to see a lot of goals and action I'd recommend Bundesliga, although it is dominated by Buyernwinslol

Lastly, lurk the generals here on spee

>>74684247
if you live in fucking portland i don't know just support your team, but if you live in the middle of nowhere just watch europe or some hipster league like portuguese or south american and see the teams


some teams have political or cultural traits so if you care about that

Soccer is the Justin Beiber of sports

Yeah there's not enough structure and always the risk of having wasted your life on a match that ends in a draw. Also I struggle to distance the degenerate culture around soccer from the actual sport.

>>74684247
Play some pes/fifa

Everyone always makes fun of American football for having commercials and shit, but when the game was actually being played I found it infinitely more interesting. Every single play mattered and had a consequence, the game is simply more intense. In a soccer match, you can just coast around, be on your phone, talk to your friends, etc.. To me personally there wasn't enough action

>>74684247
stop consuming american sports media

they are brainwashing you to accept the shitty mediocre american sports, because these sports allow for a maximum amount of commercials, which makes the networks tons of money

but free yourself from their greedy claws!
start thinking for yourself and appreciate the world's sport, the beautiful game, the only relevant sport to have ever been played

>>74684726
You have to realize that the play is all twenty-two players on the field. It isn't just focused around the ball, alot of the times the action is what's happening on the other side of the field. Formations being stretched, cracked and broken. Holes in the defense opening up in response, which get exploited soon afterwards.

Alot of the times, if you're paying attention, you can see goals happening 15-25 seconds before the ball goes into the net. You just need to get to know the sport to appreciate how teams move and tactically arm-wrestle. 11 v 11 is like two octopii greco-wrestling.

get invested in a team and then watch that one beautiful match that makes you understand why it's the most artistic and emotional sport there is

scoring is low but that's what makes every goal feel so precious

leicester is currently accepting /lifelongs/ you should watch their CL games and hope for magic

>>74684247
Liverpool vs Milan, final of champion's league, watch the whole thing till the end

>>74684294
Actually brits also called it soccer, short for Association Football. That's why Americans call it soccer.

The only way is too autistically immerse yourself in the wikipedia roster sections of the main teams and then when they play you'll actually know who the fuck people are and it will be interesting. Once you start watching with interest you'll see the game more and be able to watch matches with literally who's

World Cup 2018 is probably a good place to start

You're making a complete fool out of yourself here.

>>74687258
someone who's trying to get into sawker is not going to notice any difference between MLS and a top 4 league.

The easiest way to get into soccer is to watch the national team desu. I never cared about the sport at all until I started watching the usmnt. After that it's pretty easy to watch international and even club soccer

Soccer is a shit fucking game, I unironically think American football is the better sport.

If you want to watch a good sport that America competes in, watch rugby union sevens and then work your way into actual union.

>>74687632
Australia is as much of a world power as Japan, as in not at all

>>74684247

It is literally medieval war. American Football = 1 battle, Soccer = Total War.

Wingers are Cavalry
Centers are Infantry

Don't fall for the 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 et cetera view of the sport, this is a vertical reading of a team, really you read your battle lines horizontally. So take into account first the horizontal measure of a team, then the vertical.

I always like my favorite teams to fight the Battle of Hastings.

for pure drama/entertainment value watch a few premier league games and get to know players. Decide which players u like to watch the most and follow those teams casually, no need to latch on to a team this early. Its a fun game, treat it as entertainment. If u get into it then start to shitpost and join an indoor team.

Pick an EPL club. I played soccer my whole life and root for Italy nationally, but could never really get into any leagues like Serie A because I didn't have a team.

This year, I decided to root for Arsenal. We've been shit all year though, so I'll probably find a new club.

>>74692630
Good post.

>>74692630
good for you, Arsenal sucks

They should implement new rules:
>First quarter: If a team scores in this quarter, they get an extra sub.
>First half: The team that is losing, gets an extra player on the pitch for the first quarter in the second half or the other team loses a player.
>Second half: Goals count double.
>Last ten minutes: Corners automatically become free kicks from the corner of the box.
>Only one player from each team can discuss / argue with the ref, otherwise yellow card.

>>74688191
what the fuck are you even talking about

Why would you want to get into a sport that gets zero coverage here, has no local teams, and is already boring as fuck to watch? Unless you're talking about joining an indoor soccer league, which I guess is alright for a dadsport.

>>74684385
You might wanna check these European "white" teams again. Even the German team is full of roaches and a few niggers here and there

>>74692875
Those all seem like pretty shitty rules, and the last one is supposed to be true, anyways. That's what a captain is, but nobody cares about that nuance anymore.

>>74686097
It was actually widely used to differentiate it from other forms of football (like rugby football). The handegg meme is especially stupid because it was called football due to it being played on foot to differentiate it from sports being played on horseback.

Football is the real life version of chess

Im trying to get into soccer since American football is shit and I think soccer jerseys are /fa/ as fuck
What team should I bandwagon and what website should I stream the games on?

Should I start watching club soccer or international soccer
What is more normie?

>>74700937
Depends on your size, if you are ripped as fuck puma jerseys are pretty good. Nikes can be a little tight but not near as pumas and then adidas are pretty loose while still looking slim. Don't fall for super popular players like messi and ronaldo everyone will just assume you are a meme fan. Watch a few games find some people you like. I still have people come up to me all the time when I wear my Chelsea Torres jersey mostly to talk about how much of a disappointment he was but everyone loves Torres.

>>74701344
I'm not trying to look buff with a tight ass Jersey so adidas seems like the right one, I already got the Adidas x palace soccer jersey
Should I start with club or country? I wanna get into whatever is more popular so I can talk about it with friends. Also is there different leagues for club and country? Explain the whole thing to me.

How legit is Major League Soccer?

Is it worth going to the games and following the teams? I live about 20 minutes from a stadium and their jerseys look cool.

Just don't waste your time, who cares if a bunch of third world countries play it. Americans don't give a shit about this bitch sport and never will

Do good players from MLS move to European leagues often if they're good enough to get better pay?

I know European basketball players often do that from the EuroLeague

>>74703802
I wouldn't say often but there are the odd few players every now and then who move from MLS to the top tier leagues e.g. Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Geoff Cameron, Jozy Altidore are the names which come to my head that have moved from MLS to the top European leagues (mainly the EPL) in the last ~10 years.
