This article was obviously published directly at fans like me, ie "Perhaps you're not a huge soccer buff, but you wouldn't mind getting into the spirit of the World Cup this summer. The editors at GQ have compiled some tips on how to quickly gain an understanding and appreciation of the game ... looks like they've pre-selected Olympiacos as the team for me, as well

... I better get reading up on the game/team before the festivities start, eh?

My team, Fulham, is going to be one of the three teams relegated to the next level. They used to have a bunch of Americans, and now are owned by the Jags owner, and have had 3 managers this year. Total disarray.
I am a casual fan at best, but I'll be soon be more casual than sweatpants to work on a Friday.

That is actually pretty accurate. What team would y'all compare the Saints to? Liverpool?

Liverpool might be too traditional... Maybe be Everton or Tott, someone newer on the way up.
Ideally it would be a French team, but PSG is really the only one I know

Yeah, I appreciate them taking the time & effort,

... but will my new found allegiance to Olympiakos interfere with my previous stated loyalties to Norwich City? I am fond of my Canaries and don't necessarily want to see a conflict of interest there,

... I'm gonna' start studying up on soccer anyway, NFL's been getting on my nerves as of late,

I think Norwich is headed down right along with Fulham.
Time for me to get a new team anyway- the Fulham owner attributed this year's failures to the fact that the team moved the Michael Jackson statue away from the stadium. No, seriously.

... who puts up a Michael Jackson statue outside a soccer stadium anyway? Oh well, he was the "King of Pop",

... sports just ain't what they used to be, <chuckle>.
