I have watched some La Liga and Serie A! Basically I watch whatever I can get whenever its on. My buddies all like watching soccer too so we talk about different leagues/teams/players. Probably why I don't have a favorite team. I think the EPL is the most well-known in the States but I like to see some variety.
Messi is ridiculous. Did you happen to see the Barca/Madrid game a couple days ago? There is a free kick Messi takes that is insane!
Lionel Messi brilliant free-kick! HD Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Supercopa 2012 - YouTube He has so much ball control. He might be one of my favorite players to watch because he can take on multiple defenders and make them look like fools haha
And I agree with you about how the EPL is a bit slower. I don't even want to think about how an MLS team would do against someone like Barca... It would be a slaughter! That's one thing I'ver really noticed with the Sounders is that when they play slow they don't do as well. It seems like if a team could handle speeding up the game other MLS teams wouldn't be able to handle them.
