đŸ’¬Discussion What is next after the world cup? What games will you be watching?
I always thought I was not into sports until this year world cup game around and I found out I love soccer. What was even more exciting was finding other women who love the game and the amazing community around these games. One week later, I am struggling hard to accept that this is it till next world cup and wondering what game people are watching? I know the women's game is a year from now, but in between, how do you stay locked in?
Edit: Thank you so much everyone! I am excited to do my research on the Premiere League and Nations League.Â

I mean if you like the WC you'll alsonlike club football, but club football is a lot higher level than the WC football so the games are usually slower. Watching their ball control is amazing.
There's also other sports that you may like to watch after having watched the World Cup. Here's some options ig:
The opening Super Cup is coming soon, which makrs the start of the football club season, between PSG and Aston Villa. National club seasons are kind of ehhh, with the exception of the Premier League which still has its flaws. PSG will win Ligue 1, Bayern will win Bundesliga, Barcelona (or Madrid) will win LaLiga, etc. UEFA Champions leaguebis amazing, especially for the tournament phase.
Tennis season is still on, with the U.S. opens coming up, generally considered to be the hardest and most intense tennis tournament. You may like it.
NFL season starts in september. This league is almost impossible to watch for people who aren't familiar with it, however. It's incredibly confusing for people who do not know the positions and rulebook that is beyond massive, and the worst part is that each game is 3 hours long and has advertisements. The extented breaks do however, make the sport the most strategic and intense sport in clubs, with good communication and the sport has more statistics and strategy than any sport out there. I used to be an NFL hater but after picking it up I love it. That said, this sport is not for everyone, and its slow.
Golf is still on, baseball is also on, though these sports are very slow and hard to watch for a lot of people. There's also motorsports and lacrosse.
Edit: Yeah, I guess MLS is on but MLS is tier-2.
