The EPL is kinda like the NFL in that it feels so lifeless and sanitized at times beholden so much big corporate bullshit.

Bundesliga is a blue collar league with great fans and players passionate about the game. It is also a very competitive league.

Tough loss today. Controlled most of the game just couldn't get it past the keeper.

I think I'm giving up on Andy Carroll.

Been following Bundesliga since the 1990s. Great great teams and rivalries. They have the highest attendance rate amongst all European soccer competitions.

This year, the race is really tight between FCB, BVB, Mönchengladbach and Bremen.

I got a chance to attend a game last September in the Allainz Arena. Great experience.

Germans are ****ing great at playing soccer. You can never count them out until the whistle has been blown.

The problem with the premier league is that you have two teams that are fake in Chelsea and Man City. And they distort the rest of the league. But top to bottom, I still think it's the most entertaining league in the world.

Follow the German league and you will realize that people are choosing the EPL because of the high profile teams.

It's fun to watch but lately, the massive spending by Man City and Chelsea is just making it a Daniel Snyder heaven.

I've also started watching South American soccer quite a bit more. I got a bit hooked on it while I was living there.

There are some fun leagues and players.

I do think the Bundesliga is great. You really can't compare the atmosphere there to the plastic fans that make up alot of the premier league. It helps that Germany still has terraces, while the premier league keeps pricing everyone out.

But Chelsea and City have ****ed things up. Hopefully financial fair play helps out...

I root for Fulham because of my man, Clint Dempsey. Other than that, anyone playing ManU.

A dream of mine, I'm jealous.

There's something about EPL I can't get into. I don't know what it is.

Bundesliga appeals to me for family reasons as well as competitive. It's also fun to listen to a Bayern match in German!

I still want to get to Germany to see some games. I've gotten to see Arsenal play a few times, and Barca once at camp nou. I was in SA for Copa America this last summer which was fun too. Traveling around with the South American fans was pretty fun. Also got to see Palermo's last game for Boca, which was pretty fun to be around. And see River relegated.

But I've never been to Germany. Still wish I could have gone to that WC in '06. Still pissed off we don't have a good '18 WC host. I was really looking forward to a Spain, or England, or Netherlands trip. No desire to go to Russia though...

After '14, the world cup doesn't seem very appetizing for a while with Russia and then Qatar or whatever desert kingdom they picked.
