It’s interesting the points you make about the Americanization of football. The use of VAR and in the most recent CWC referees announcing their decisions over a mic for fans is unlike the football I know.

I am a lifelong sports fan but a newbie football fan from the US. I really got into it after a trip to Europe last summer and also watching the USWNT in the Olympics. Anyway, 2024/2025 was my first year watching football closely and I found myself gravitating toward the EFL and the women’s leagues. The Premier League had little draw for me as it seems so sterile. I just couldn’t attach to it emotionally.
