I've been talking to people about this because I enjoyed the World Cup and they're like,
you need to have a soccer team. I don't have a soccer team. People said,
so BVB should be my soccer team. Is that what you're saying? They're going to be a fun team
to watch? Yes. They've been my soccer team since 2020. They are a team that produces young stars.
So Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland both played there in the early days. And when I first started
watching them, like Haaland was there. I mean, it was just blindly obvious that this guy was
going to be one of the best in the world. And that was when they had Gio Reyna too,
who was honestly probably the second best player on that team. And very promising as a 17 year old,
was actually playing as like a winger and would attack guys, would try to dribble guys. And his
game has evolved differently. He's more of a central player now, but it is a team that really
nurtures these young players. They're in champions league every year. So the last 11 seasons. So
you're always going to see them in the biggest competitions. And then yeah, they got a bunch
of kids this year. I don't know. I mean, the last couple of years, like they've always tried to have
these kids. And I would say that hasn't been particularly exciting for the last two seasons,
but this kid corrects us. He's 18 years old. He came over from Belgium and he is, I mean,
he just thinks two steps ahead. Oh, like whatever, you know, like, like his past isn't like what is
happening now. It's like, what's going to happen, you know, two steps from now. It's pretty, he's
pretty quick. He actually, you know, he's a good pastor, good score. He can score some goals.
He is, I think a player that an English team would never look at because he he's just getting
run over physically because he's kind of small and he's 18 years old and hasn't really fully
filled out in his development. But I mean, I will, I will turn on these games just for him.
What time Eastern do BBB games get played most often? What time Eastern time? So the
Bundesliga does it like, you know, your Dortmund's and Byron's are going to be
your prime time matchups, which are your two 30 on Fridays. And then two 30 on Friday. Wow.
Two 30 PM. Yeah. They have a Friday game, right? Wow. And then like the bulk of the games are
going to be nine 30 Eastern AM on Saturday. And then they'll have like a standalone game at 1130.
They'll have a standalone game at 1230. Cause that's when I watched them play last week
on Saturday or Sunday on Saturday. And then there's a couple of standalone games on Sunday.
Oh, they're not crazy. Like the premier league. They don't stretch it out until
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or whatever the heck the premier league team is. All right.
I have I wrote up a little guide to picking a European club team. I got three sections in there.
So one, if you want to follow one as a better one, if you want to follow up for champions league,
which is Dortmund, then one, if you absolutely insist on picking a premier league team.
So I'll send that your way. It was fun to, it was super fun to write. And it just makes me
you know, I mean, we're still wrapped up in American football, right. And like,
it's a joy to have this career and it's a dream job, but it's just kind of fun to like,
do a different sport where you don't have anything riding on it and like, you can just be a fan.
So, and you know, a lot of these things, like, I mean, especially like now it's kind of fun
because you can catch something in the morning before the American football starts. It's fun
after the American football season ends. Cause that's when like champions, the league gets
really serious. So yeah, BBB.
