What leagues do you follow

Just trying to get a feel for what leagues people maintain an interest in, and to what extent. Just say whether you regularly watch full matches each weekend from that league, or just highlights (extended or goals only), or just check the scores. Also list them in order of most important to least important to you (ie. how much time you spend on that league) if you can. Mine:


1. Spain - full matches and highlights
2. Premiership - full matches and highlights
3. Germany - goal highlights
4. Italy - goal highlights
5. Holland - scores, occasional goal highlights
6. France - scores
7. Portugal - scores
8. Spanish Segunda - scores and occasional goal highlights
9. English Championship - scores towards the end of the season when the promotion/playoff stuff gets interesting
10. MLS - I'll occasionally watch a match on TV, but otherwise I don't even bother checking the scores or standings.

And every once in a while I'll catch up with the Argentinian and Brazilian leagues by checking the standings or reading an article.

1-English Premiership-Full matches and highlights.
2-Serie A-Full Matches and highlights.
3--English Championship-Full Matches and highlights.
4-Spain-Occasional matches and highlights.
5-Germany-Scores.
6-English League One-Scores
7-Holland-Scores.
8-English League Two-Scores
9-English Conference-Scores
10-Serie B-Scores.

Was she jealous?

1. La Liga - full matches and highlights
2. EPL - full matches and highlights
3. Serie A - goal highlights
4. Bundesliga - scores
5. NFL India - highlights and scores

I don't follow football as much as I would like, due to family "obligations" so to speak.

1. La Liga - full matches (2 a week on average) + highlights + discussion programmes + radio news
2. EPL - highlights + scores
3. Eredivisie - highlights + scores
4. all others - scores

then I watch CL as much as I can and UEFA a little bit.
+ international games with Spain and/or Holland and of course the tournaments.

1. Eredivisie - full matches + highlights+occasional discussion programme
2. EPL - full matches + highlights
3. La Liga - occasional full match of the big 3 + highlights
4. Serie A - sometimes the odd full game + highlights
5. Bundesliga - sometimes the odd full game + highlights
Most others - scores but try to watch Eurogoals.

as a matter of fact, I DO watch the occasional match of the EPL or other league.

De Wedstrijden, MOTD, Sportschau.

EPL , Bundesliga full with highlights and stuff ,La Liga too and whatever I could watch.

Really??

Perhaps we should start a thread on Dempo FC Some of my mates were big time fans when I used to live in Goa, I have been to so many of their games....

Dempo Dempo Dempo Dempo Dempo!!

The only Indian clubs I have heard about is East Bengal b/c Indian captain played for them I think and Mohammedan something was the other I have heard.

1. EPL - full matches and highlights

Then sme La Liga and Seria A matches and highlights, really glad we have Seria A coverage back in England now.

English Premiership - Full matches and highlights
Serie A - Full matches and highlights
Bundesliga - Full matches
La Liga - Full matches and highlights
English Championship - Occasional matches and scores

Then try to keep track of the scores from other leagues.

You heard of East Bengal and not of Mohun Bagan?? Thats like hearing of Inter and not about Milan... you are a good man Mohammedan Sporting & Tollygunge Agragami are the other clubs from Bengal, but are no where near the above two. These are the legacy clubs from West Bengal, one of the football crazy states in India.

Then there is Goa, which has Dempo SC, Salgaocar SC, Churchill Brothers SC, Vasco SC & Sporting Club de Goa as the top clubs.

Some other decent outfits of late are Mahindra United (Mumbai), JCT FC (Punjab), & FC Kochin (Kerala).

When I did my college in Goa, we once played the dempo college (the club looks at that as their youth team) in the university championship... we got hammered 3-0 inspite of trying to play our defensive best, and that remains the best team I have ever played against.

Only really follow the Premiership because I can't be arsed to watch so much football. Then I use this place for all other stuff like scores from other places, and the occasional youtube link to a few goals.

Got an Indian mate in the uni who is from Bengal and I think this is his feeding and he is a Inter supporter some pattern emerging?
Why Indians that were capable of watching football in 90s follow Serie A was it shown there more?

I mostly watch Serie A and EPL, and some La Liga games when the big teams are playing... do catch the odd game from Germany, Portugal and France every now and then. And whatever I can of Serie B.

I think anyone outside europe who starting watching football in the late 80s or early 90s would fancy Italian football coz all the big players played there... In India, we used to get the 3 european finals, and they usually involved an Italian team, sometimes both teams were italian. Also the complete coverage of the WCs, and most of the stars of WC1986 and WC1990 used to play in Italy.

In the late 90s, espn started showing all EPL games live, and the timing of these games really suits India, so now you will see EPL fans far outnumber any other league.

What is funny about India fans is that in the WC, most bengali end up supporting Italy (and maybe argentina) while almost all goans support Brazil and Portugal. Their style of football is similar, the bengali's are known for their pragmatic tactical approach, while the goans like to go for flair.

+ MTV dating games, Big Brother, all kinds of series etc if I may believe everything I read in the Off-Topic. What else - besides football and TV watching do you ever get up to? Do you ever see real live girls? (well, I suppose you do at school, but I mean socially?)

MTV dating games? wtf? super sweet 16 do you mean? I don't watch it as such I caught it once.

I do like TV, but I do go out as well believe it or not

we've had over two months off you see and it's hard to find things to occupy yourself with every day so TV is always good
