The9 Posted 31 July, 2013 Share Posted 31 July, 2013 I've been watching the following during the close season : CONCACAF Gold Cup (every match, every goal, can't remember any of it) Brazilian League (the voiceover bloke is annoying) MLS (USA, live and highlights, terrible defending) Copa Libertadores (CONMEBOL South American CL, they love a colour clash) Asian Football (AFC World Cup Qualifiers highlights, hence knowing Lebanon's kit looks like Saints') Friendlies for Thailand, Indonesia, South China FC (Hong Kong), Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and an A-League All Star team, and probably some others Bundesliga and Serie A reviews Euro U20s and U19s Championships Women's terrible football nonsense I've also become quite au fait with Gwent-based non-league football in the past couple of months due to a frenzy on the FM13 editor.

So you can put me down for every league in the game. And then everyone knows that I am 110% helpful about 9.5/10 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amsterdam Posted 31 July, 2013 Share Posted 31 July, 2013 I used to watch the Eredivisie a fair bit (followed Utrecht a bit).

I don't watch many games featuring the other teams, but I've been to most Portland Timbers home games so far this season, and watch their away games on TV.

Which leagues do you watch regularly? Glasgow, are you still going to head up the scouting report committee for the far and wide reaching SWF international community? Other than my Peruvian responsibilities, I will also be taking in a wealth of United Arab Emirates UAE Pro-League games, I will be following Papa Waigo at Al-Ettifaq Club (نادي الاتفاق) with interest.

Convict Colony Posted 2 August, 2013 Share Posted 2 August, 2013 Yeah aside from the obvious I also watch the Premier League here in SA, especially the Soweto derbies between Kaiser Chiefs v Orlando Pirates. I also randomly watched Eng v South Africa years ago when Beckham had his cornrows hairstyle in Durban, was there chilling so went along and stood with the home fans, they were going mental every time they passed the half way line, no vuvusala's that I can remember then either so it was decent.
