I am 21...Don't remember too much of Chelsea's history...have only started following them since the Zola era. We didn't have much exposure to the EPL over here. I finally started following it when I got to college and they had the matches on at the student union.
On a side not I think your right if somehow PV becomes the next Galactico it should be alot closer a race than it will be if he stays.
As for the SPL Rangers had a few nice pickups in the summer Prso the biggest I'd say. Hopefully you guys can hold them off again. Can't see anyone challeging you two Glasgow giants.
BC yeah there is a pocket of soccer fans in the US. Its starting to blossom. I think its definetly going to be a niche sport for a long time. But support is growing and the MLS is having some success putting out quality US talent (Beasley to Holland, a few players to EPL and lower divisions) Definetly a rising time for soccer stateside. The biggest problem is coverage. There was not on Euro2004 game on tv unless you bought them individually. And if you dont get Fox Sports World there is no European Soccer coverage to speak of.
