Wait. You realize you are posting this on a forum dedicated to watching random asian kids play a video game at 2-4 AM in the morning. And you are complaining about people watching the most popular sport in the world? Seriously?
All forms of sport and competition are fun to watch at the highest levels of competition. Football is no exception, and it's pretty fun to watch high level teams with great teamplay and country pride on the line.
No... nobody is complaining.

Cos football is amazing
And football is kind of a big deal in the creator of the sport!
|
The biggest event in the greatest sport in the world. Nuff said.
|
I must be the most clueless person on the planet when it comes to World Cup or any other football related events for that matter. And many people in my country go batshit insane for football, too.
I find the sport itself excruciatingly boring.
Also, it's only SOCCER in the US -.- :

I can't affiliate with the hype around soccer either. I think the sport itself is rather boring (compared to good esport for example). The soccer fans are extremely annoying and stuff like hooligans are just causing trouble for no reason. The emerging patriotism and national pride is just stupid. And the fact that it's so popular makes it even worse.
The biggest reason for all that hype I guess is just the social aspect of watching it together and having the team of your country to cheer for. Following this huge event and getting in touch with so many people who share the same passion for that sport.
I can understand why people like it but I don't like or watch it at all.

i only watch the Euro and World cup, everything else I could care less about. But when those come on, they beat any other sport on television for me.
i guess that makes me a poser =/

i live in Hockey nation, but soccer is by far my 2nd favorite sport..i watch every (World Cup + Euro) competitions ^_^
i'd also follow the EPL or Bundesliga or La liga...or Serie A but its kinda hard in North America unless youre spending $900 per month on TV channels... kek...and streams arent good enough in quality...blehh...
i'd really love to follow Barca and Messi tho..if i could T_T (if anyones knows a cheap way to do that in Canada..lemme know)

Besides it being the biggest sporting event in the world, soccer is just fun to watch. It's incredibly simple to understand, and you get to root for your home country 
Personally, I watch the world cup because... I follow Euro soccer anyways... :D
EDIT: I'm reading all these other posts where people say "football" and not "soccer" ... ... damn you America, what have you done.

Your poll is missing the option:

Since when do you need a reason for drinking? Beer accompanies WC events rather well and it is a reason to celebrate, but if you wanna have a drink, just go for it. :D

I love football...I'm not sure what this "soccer" is.

I like rooting for my country. I love worldwide competitions like the olympics, world cup, etc.

Because the World Cup is so much more than just soccer. It brings nations together and is about national pride.

Why the hell do people think it's god damn clever to say... "It's not called Soccer". Who gives a fuck. You get the message he is trying to get across. Don't turn this into a god damn youtube video comment section where half of soccer/football videos turn into an argument about why it's called football or soccer. Whenever you do this sidetracks the topic and lessens any real discussion. TL is better than this.

Just to answer.. If you don't understand The World Cup, you never will
|
I love watching football, especially world class teams.
|
I love watching football and the US team is my favorite sporting team in the world
