It was the video game FIFA 12 that first got me interested in watching soccer. Since I decided to become a Real Madrid fan and a dedicated follower to the USMNT five years ago now, I haven’t missed a moment of any of the biggest soccer matches in the world.
Since that time, I have started to follow Major League Soccer and the best American youth talent in the country. I felt like the 2013 announcement that Orlando City SC would become an MLS franchise, in one of my favorite cities in the country, with one of my favorite former Real Madrid players, Kaká, was the perfect team for me at the perfect time.
