I saw the first goal but I didn't think Hamburg would lose that badly.

with that being said, coming into this season of football, I've really cut down on the leagues I follow, I follow these four in no particular order:

Bundesliga
MLS
Mexican League
Premier League

I used to try to follow just the big name leagues but I find no fun in that, Italy is boring, Spain is a RM/Barca circle jerk, the PL is just the big four but I grew up on this league because it was before the MLS, so its a habit I can't break, the MLS is my Countries league and the Mexican League is my Fathers league and the German League has the way of play that has a big influence on the ML and MLS.

what leagues are you guys going to follow? any predictions for the coming season?

La Liga for sure. I think Real Madrid are going to be unstoppable this season and I ****ing hate everything they stand for. Barcelona won't be able to keep up as I see them having too many defensive breakdowns. Ex: the Chivas game. I also predict an off year for David Villa again and a tired Messi. Thiago is going to continue to rise to stardom. Barcelona is also going to need another CB.

Bundesliga is so much fun because I don't support any specific team, although I enjoy it when Munich loses.

EPL for sure although nobody is going to knock off ManU from the top. Torres is going to flop again this year... Luis Saurez and Agüero will be great stars to go along with Chicharito and Rooney.

Italian leag... Zzzzz Zzzzz

Oh no you di'int!!!

Charity Shield means nothing but that was awesome

I'll definitely be following the EPL. Primarily a Fulham fan, but I also like seeing which of the bottom half teams can make a run from year to year.

MLS-used to not bother, but I've come to believe that our league will never get better if even American soccer fans refuse to watch it. So far, a lot less disappointed than I thought I'd be.

I'll also watch as many Bundesliga games as I can, and the occasional La Liga and Ligue 1 match. Don't care for Serie A though.

Newcastle v. Arsenal Sat morning. I will be up watching it in my Magpies jersey. LET'S GO BOYS!

on the pitch it didn't mean a thing but ManU put every team on notice, they're not going to give up the crown without a fight, should be a fun season
