    Feel free to post here your thoughts about your European soccer (association football) squads.

    Me, I'm a passionate AC Milan fan and from time to time I travel to Italy to attend in person their games at the San Siro stadium. When I'm not there in person, I watch every single game Milan plays on TV, as well as the games played by our main rivals (Inter, Juve, Napoli, Atalanta, Lazio and Roma; usually in their entirety but sometimes, highlights).

    I'm a less passionate Arsenal fan and I don't have enough time to follow our rivals, but I do watch Arsenal's games.

    In Spain I prefer Real Madrid to Barcelona and I hate Atletico Madrid but I don't really follow La Liga, so their games, I don't watch, except that I do watch the occasional game from a Spanish team when they are playing in the Champions League.

    I have no big interest in Germany and I pretty much never watch the Bundesliga.

    In France, I support PSG, and this is not a bandwagon thing: decades ago I used to live in Paris and I was a PSG fan much before it became a world power. I watch their games on occasion.

    At this point of the season - second International break - both my teams AC Milan and Arsenal are doing well.

    Serie A: Milan sits pretty with 21 points, isolated in the lead, with Inter behind 2 points. Milan won 7 out of 8 league games. Unfortunately the only one we lost was in disastrous fashion - Inter crushed us 5-1. But ever since, we won 3 straight league games while Inter dropped 5 points (lost one game to Sassuolo and drew another one with Bologna), and in the last 6 games (including two UCL games) we conceded only one goal. Next, we play Juventus.

    EPL: Arsenal has 20 points and is even in points with Tottenham for the co-lead; Manchester City is third - we just beat them 1-0. Next, we play Chelsea.
