Also is MLS any good ?? Toronto has a team and if im going to root for anyone it would most likely be them cuz i can go to games if i start to like it.

Thanks.
Well. Havent followed football at the Olympics at all, bt if we end p with a Brazil-Argentina game that could be a place to start. Otherwise the (English) Premier League is starting this weekend, and this is arguably the best in the world. Chelsea is my club, has been for 12 years, but if you choose to support them, you'll be in for a lot of abuse.

The most prestigous club tournament in the world is the Champions League. Last qualification round started the other day, I'm guessing the group stage will begin in a few weeks. In reality, this is the thing to see.

Althogh you might as well start following Danish football, as it seems that the entire Canadian national team is on course to end up here. Before everyone start going on about the low quality of play we have here (they'd be right unfortunately), I'll point out that Danish clubs are 15-0-0 in Europe this year, including an away win yesterday in Manchester City.
