Is there like a video series on youtube I can watch that'll brief a newbie like me on some of the more well-known teams in europe?

Hmm not sure something like that is out there, but the most well known/popular teams at the moment are:

FC Barcelona
Valencia
Atletico Madrid
Manchester United
Machester City
Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Tottenham
Paris Saint-Germain
Juventus
AC Milan
Inter Milan
Napoli
Bayern Munich
Borrussia Dortmund
Porto

Cut all the names out, put them in a hat and pick one. Or if you are Pulga, pick 4.

 

[Cuddler]

Vertongen aka "AVB 2.0" should've scored that.

He scored now.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Inter manager looks dead behind the eyes.

Super Jan!

 

[Peco]

It's over for Intermerda.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Martins is a piece of shit, fuckin cunt.

 

[bjaelke]

Vertongen aka "AVB 2.0" should've scored that.

[Randdalf]

Vertongen aka "AVB 2.0" should've scored that.

I'd give a look at FIFA's list of classic clubs. It's not perfect but each team has a page describing their history.

If you want to know more about the tactical side of the game, I'd recommend zonal marking

[K1LLER7]

Can't wait to see spurs in the CL next season

 

[Tc91]

Spurs are awesome.

Makes me wanna continue my save as them on FM. Suarez at White Hart Lane.

 

[Metalmurphy]

AVB and Guarin reuniting, how nice.

 

[Yurt]

Hey at least now we know which league is the best right?

 

[MrKaepora]

Take your meds Rodrigo, shut up and play.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Thanks for the help guys! Trying to get into football/soccer is kind of intimidating...so many teams and leagues lol

 

[Lambda Pie]

[3Sixty]

Thanks for the help guys! Trying to get into football/soccer is kind of intimidating...so many teams and leagues lol

You're from the USA i take it?

English league is probably most accessible.

Support Southampton. We're cool.

 

[K1LLER7]

Thanks for the help guys! Trying to get into football/soccer is kind of intimidating...so many teams and leagues lol

Premier League is best League

Join Man Utd Gaf

 

[Randdalf]

Is Holtby on the bench? I'd like to see him get a runout.

 

[PowderedToast]

Spurs are awesome.

Makes me wanna continue my save as them on FM. Suarez at White Hart Lane.

omg i just threw up a bit at the thought

 

[Gareth Bale]

It's a miracle that Lennon hasn't got injured yet. The amount of sprinting he's done all over the pitch, twice a week, during this season.

 

[LFMartins86]

Premier League is the most entertaining league in the world right now. The Champions League and Europa League also provide some great matches.

 

[Kyoufu]

Fuck Spurs. They're going to win the treble.

 

[AndresON777]

Off the Barca bandwagon so quickly?

At least Pep jumped ship at the end of the season.

Edit: lulllllz you support BVB now? Glory hunter.

I've liked Dortmund for a while now. You're always out partying so you don't see what us old people are seeing, pendejo

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Figo is director of 'international relations' at Internazionale? What does that entail?

Thanks for the help guys! Trying to get into football/soccer is kind of intimidating...so many teams and leagues lol

Support Arsenal, they're quite known

 

[PowderedToast]

Thanks for the help guys! Trying to get into football/soccer is kind of intimidating...so many teams and leagues lol

whoever you support, soon you'll find that liverpool are the greatest club to ever exist

i hope u make the right decision

You guys have amazing pace in the team.

In the Summer, keep Bale, buy Benteke and Moutinho and you could be challenging for the title.

Speaks at the odd function. Collects a fat cheque every month.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Figo is director of 'international relations' at Internazionale? What does that entail?

he's sucking a nice chunk of Inter's budget every month, that's what it entails.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Figo looks delighted to see a player like Livermore play in the flesh.

 

[K1LLER7]

What's up with Palacio's hair?

 

[bone_and_sinew]

If you can, try to get Fox Soccer Channel or BeIn Sport. ESPN2 and your regional FOX SPORTS affiliate carry EPL. espn3.com carries many leagues. If you have DirecTV, you get a fuckload of Europa League and Champions League group stage games on any package.

edit: NBC SPORTS is getting exclusive EPL rights next season since they secured it.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Yeah I guess with the english league being shown on a big american tv network next season would make it easier to follow around and learn the game.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Defoe is such an idiot

 

[K1LLER7]

Greedy Defoe, pass to Bale.

 

[Meier]

Defoe, so greedy.

 

[Lambda Pie]

finally Martins comes out, Benfica can start playing now.

 

[Cuddler]

If only Inter was 10 Zanetti...

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Defoe is always such a greedy cunt

 

[Randdalf]

Bale for the 2016 Olympics sprint team pls

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Thanks for the help guys! Trying to get into football/soccer is kind of intimidating...so many teams and leagues lol

Might be a bit late now but the Champions League would be a great way to get to know some of the bigger clubs in Europe. Premier League/La Liga/Bundesliga and Serie A are also safe bets.

 

[K1LLER7]

Bale's pace :O

 

[Tc91]

That counter attack was class, shame Defoe fucked it up.

 

[K1LLER7]

Defoe pulling a Welbeck

 

[3Sixty]

Defoe looks very rusty.
