Although I'll say this, no matter what the sport or whatever, I've likely watched more soccer than any sport the last 4-5 years...including CBB which I think I actually know something about. But I'm in Phoenix, and gaddammit I know Mexicans.
That said, it doesn't take long to study a particular sport...there are those that can school me on matchups, but I'm not a matchup guy so much as a situation guy and that goes for all sports. Probably best at baseball and I'm down almost 40 units this season lol....but it's where I think I have an edge, and soccer is quickly becoming number two
