I know I really got so attached to US team in a way that I didnt in 2006's world cup and Landon looked so sad ;_; poor baby! and Gomez! I was rooting for Gomez, that was his first WC! Oh well babes, there's always Rio! (where the next WC will be set :Dv)
and There absolutely is soccer during the year! (ever year I think) and I think there is a european cup that is like every 2 years or less? I dont remember. I know that there is Serie A which is various Italian clubs competing against each other (like AC Milan), and La Liga which is various spanish clubs competing against each other (really famous ones like Real Madrid and FC barcelona can be found here) and the Premiere league (which is english clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal) and the MLS (which american soccer teams, like LA galaxy :D) all go on during the year. What I cant tell you is when. I know the MLS season is usually April-November. and I am pretty sure ESPN or ESPN2 airs those games.
However for Serie A and La Liga and Premiere League, ESPN doesnt air it. At least I have never seen it on any of the ESPN channels. I know Serie A and La Liga are on the Fox Soccer Channel. But idk about the Premiere League. Also there are loads of fascinating South American leagues that dont get much (if any) play on FSC but can be found on GOLtv. Unfortunately as an american I cant usually follow most of the non american leagues/games because they just arent aired on ESPN or other available sports channels and if you are American too you will probably have trouble as well. I say if you have the money you should get FSC or GOltv (better yet, BOTH) because they both have really cool shows that go into the history of Football and international rivalries. I dont know if OnDemand (assuming you have digital cable or some other system that uses OnDemand) have stuff like big league games or the European Cup (which as far as I know does not involve any south american, african or asian teams though I know there is also an Asian cup and probably an African cup but I have no idea when or where they take place or what channels would carry them if any. I am also 98% positive there is a South American cup and if so it's definitely gonna be on GOLtv. This makes me wonder who Mexico would play against normally though, they arent south american and arent part of the euro leagues or the MLS...huh) and yeah basically that's all I got. I hope it was helpful? You might wanna look up some europeans or (just google) for more info lol.
