Even I may be a Red Devil fan, I don't think the EPL is the top league

Then again, I am not sure there is 1 league when you look at any league from top to bottom. I guess 1 reason I started to dislike the Iberian Peninsula is because the only clubs the media would talk about are Barcelona and Real Madrid as if the other 18 or so clubs in the top tier don't exist. Also, the Spanish clubs (well a handful of clubs) have started to dominate the UCL and ECL, so it is kinda easy to develop a Yankee-type " sports hatred" for those 3 or 4 clubs.

It is my understanding that DC United is supposed to play a friendly match against Real Betis sometime this summer. I am debating on whether to try to get tickets because I would like to watch a Spanish club not named Athletic Club, Athletico Madrid, Barcelona, or Real Madrid play in a match. There are even times where I don't want to watch Sevilla, Valencia, or Villarreal play in a match.
