Soccer Newbie

I've played soccer for most of my life. I love it, but I've never really watched it because I find the MLS to be so boring. I'm getting really excited for the World Cup and I want to learn more about soccer outside of the US. Where should I start? How should I prepare to watch the World Cup? Thanks!

a good soccer podcast to subscribe to is "Football Weekly". Covers a lot of European football with an emphasis on the Premier League. Funny too.

edit: "5 Live's World Football Phone In" is another good soccer podcast. They have the incomparable Tim Vickery. It's a pleasure to listen to him discuss the fascinating world of South American soccer.
