UK born and bred. Been seriously into NFL for the last 15 years, die hard Saints fan. Watch some college football but that’s harder to see over here, but I played NCAA 13 and 14.
Wouldn’t say I have a college I follow so much as a few different ones I have watched a fair bit of when studying schemes - I love tactics, Xs and Os.
When I first started watching NFL it was pretty much non existent over here, then Game Pass came out. After watching it casually for 6 months I decided to pick a team to follow, and in the UK I am a season ticket holder for Southampton, who’s nickname is the Saints so I went with the Saints and never looked back. Funnily enough, we had a star player when I was growing up called Matt Le Tissier (YouTube his goals, they are insane) but we called him ‘Le God’, and of course Saints had Brees, or Breesus! They also both use When the saints go marching in. So felt right:

That’s really cool, I am born and raised on the East Coast of the US so soccer (excuse my American tongue) was never my first sport. Yet, I would most Sunday morning tune into Premier League games when NBC Sports had them on. Love the promotion/relegation system provided by the European leagues and wish we could implement. Never followed to closely but I picked Sheffield United to follow after a few down years and making it to the Prem about 5 years ago.

That’s cool man. I think the premiership isn’t the same these days, got very boring with style of play. Southampton got relegated last year so we are in the Championship this season which is a better league to watch in my opinion so I’m really looking forward to this season.
We’ll be playing Sheffield United this year!

I am also from the United Kingdom. I am in my late 50s and a big sports fan and have followed the NFL since it started to appear on TV over here in the 1980s.
I have played FIFA / FC Ultimate Team for the last eight years and decided to try my hand at MUT a couple of years ago. I am slowly getting to grips with Madden / CFB, but am a long way from being a decent on-line player.

In the United Kingdom, when using the word 'football' you are discussing soccer.
The US version of football is called 'American Football' or NFL.
