Like many Americans, Bill Simmons is set to follow soccer year-round after the successful 2026 World Cup.
This summer's tournament in the United States turned thousands into football fans, and the new season is nearly here.
The English Premier League is the most popular domestic competition by far, with billions of viewers around the world.
Simmons is one of those deciding to support a team for the first time this year, and he has picked Tottenham.
He even responded to two players leaving Spurs in the summer transfer window ahead of their first match against Brentford.
Tottenham have gone through a major rebuild under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, spending over £200 million on signings.
Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jean Paul van Hecke have all arrived from other English clubs for significant fees.
Spurs were always going to sell a few players to balance the books, and now Cristian Romero and Djed Spence have made way.
Romero has joined Atletico Madrid for £34.2 million, while Spence has completed a £30 million move to Inter Milan.
While both were key players for Spurs last season, Bill Simmons tweeted: “We didn’t need these guys.”
Simmons’ statement is probably more true for Romero, given that Spurs already have several quality centre-backs.
Spence’s departure is more controversial because Pedro Porro is now the only recognised right-back at the club.
