And I'm like a hedge fund manager (a soccer post)

Really. I realized, after I picked my teams, that I definitely have picked teams all over the place. Sometimes I've picked the top two teams of the league (which can be a bore), teams that are on the way down, teams that are boring midtable teams, and teams that just suck. Let's see...my EPL teams are Arsenal, Everton, and Reading. Arsenal should be a top 4 team once they relearn how to score goals and get all their injured men back, Everton is average and doesn't look like it'll do that well unless the God's make every controversial penalty go their way, and Reading is fighting for its Premiership life. I mean, I'll be esctatic if Arsenal take the Champions League title or the Premiership title (or both!) even if Everton and Reading both get relegated. I'll even be happy if Everton gets relegated if Reading doesn't. Really, my goals for each team are completely different, and it makes me feel like a hedge fund manager.
With the Spanish and Italian leagues starting soon, I'm going to be stretched to actually catch all the leagues. So I'm going to be a bastard and drop some. I'm dropping the Championship, the SPL, and the Portuguese leagues. I think 8 leagues are plenty enough. I'll probably catch the Portuguese teams in the Champions League stuff. It's easiest to catch EPL and the Mexican leagues on TV, but I hope to watch a Eredivisie match soon. Bundesliga matches are on quite a bit on livestream channels, so I will probably watch some of them too. I really hope to see La Liga on TV, but if not, on my crappy livestream apps.
Another thing. I obviously picked my teams a bit too early, and picking two or three from each league isn't always the best thing to do. That means teams will eventually be dropped. For example, I picked both River Plate and Racing Club, and then found out that they're rivals (I think pretty big ones too) after reading an ESPNdeportes article. And Hannover 96 is really, really bad right now, especially since Per Mertesacker left. And Bayern Munich is falling apart.
BUT Reading has been a good choice so far. They play nice attacking soccer, somehow manage to throw tons of guys in the box, have Seol Ki-Hyeon who has been awesome (and Bobby who hasn't been that awesome), and they take risks. Too bad the town/city/?? didn't even fill the house for their first game. Come on, where are the fans?
And finally the random side note. I am completely obsessed with Jonathan Bornstein and the Croatian language right now. These two are not related in any way, but they both make me happy. I would totally root for Hadjuk Split because of Niko, but there's no way I'll be able to see Croatian leagues on TV. Really, I can only find news about the team off the official website, and that's written in Croatian.
