FU: What do I follow after World Cup?
I guess Premier League starts in August?
Is it accessible enough?
Doesn't NBC televise it?
I'll never walk alone.
I suggest ND football
just kidding, love you all. Soccer just isn't my cup of tea. And I tried. I watched the US and rooted for them. Now let's plow through people with great anger and fortitude and punish everyone. Put you foot on your opponent's neck and believe in it. As God intended.
Signed, Unfrozen Football Coach. I don't understand the ways of this world. haha
45 days until college football starts

Although nearly all of the week 0/1 games are garbage. Still, it will mean football is back, which is all that matters.
NFL preseason starts in 22 days, but that barely counts as football.

The Premier League is easy to follow
Most games are on USA or Peacock, plus some on NBC. Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga are all available, too, on various streaming services.
The Champions League is on Paramount+ on midweek afternoons: it's not exactly convenient for working Americans, but it is the pinnacle of the sport, far above anything you'll see at the World Cup.
If you need a more immediate fix, MLS still goes through the summer for now and will start back up soon.
I enjoy the EPL, but

I can't "turn on" allegiance to any team I didn't grow up with or have a connection to geographically (in my case, Chicago) or otherwise (ND).
Pick a team for that season that regularly plays...

an American: Fulham, Leeds, Bournemouth, Palace... Bournemouth and Palace get you some European competition, too. Europa League will have a bunch of American players, plus an American manager.
Or pick an underdog or one of the newly-promoted teams; that will get you both: Coventry City.
NBC is a gateway drug

They make Premier League so much easier than having a local soccer bar, though maybe not as fun
If you have MLS within a reasonable distance, just go. Try it out in person and see what you think. It's well inside that NHL scenario where you just have to see it live to really "get it".
