Well being here for 3 years one of the great experience I have found for myself is European Football. While the sport is slowly starting to become recognized by the American audience back home, here in Iceland it is well cemented as the sport to watch (when it is not handball season).
I did follow European Football back home and am a proud supporter of Arsenal even though they have been hit by misfortune these past few years, but what has been great is living in a guesthouse with Europeans and arguing, debating, and bantering about which team is better (sadly Arsenal doesn't make the top 5) to see the passion people have for their home clubs is something that cannot be related too back home.
While a person might support a club that is top of the table winning the league is one thing but winning Champions League is everything. With the current situation in America in regards to the NBA it would be great to see a champions league for basketball. America is dominant when 5 of the best players are on one team representing the country but what about the championship team representing the country? Personally that would be so much better.
So while American Football rules Sundays, Saturday belongs to European Football.
