S4E1: Promoted Teams Preview

One of my (Nate) biggest regrets in life is not following Premier League while I lived in the Czech Republic for 7+ years.  I was single and the ease of flying there would have given me plenty of opportunity to see matches all over the country and to follow whatever team I supported.   In this episode we explore the what if...? What if, after the 2006 World Cup, I decided to use the same criteria as I did 12 years later and chose a team...what if Chris and Kyle did the same.  Who would we chose?
