I've only been following football for about 3 years now, outside of watching the US national team, and frankly not knowing anything when I did. To this day american football is my favorite sport, with hockey, baseball, and basketball all taking a lot of my interest as well. But sports are my life, so I had room for (soccer). I discovered the joys of football from playing FIFA on every game system possible. I decided I needed a team to support, decided on the Premier League, and looked for one that caught my eye. Aston Villa seemed an interesting name, I read the history on wikipedia, and bam I had a team. Over the last three years I've gradually followed the team more and more, and now that I am studying in London for the semester, my interest has become sky high. I will be travelling to Villa Park for my first game this weekend to watch us crush the Chelsea scum and I cannot wait.
