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. I'm just quoting this again because it's an awesome post. As for myself, I watch the World Cup because it's... the World Cup. There really isn't a comparable event on Planet Earth in terms of scope and hype. Professional league play may be slightly better, but just slightly, and the World Cup adds national pride and bragging rights into the mix. Plus, it's my sport.

For me, watching athletes do stuff I couldn't do to save my life, pushing themselves to the limit physically, all while tens of thousands scream and sing for their country to win the greatest achievement for their soccer team - that is what I love. People tend to forget that while soccer is insane tricks and moves, they are also just straight up RUNNING for 90 minutes, it's the hardest shit in the world. | ||

I don't watch soccer (football), nor know anything about it. I watch the occasional game because it is good for conversational material. Also, it seems like everyone else is doing it. It's more for social interaction rather than personal enjoyment. The enjoyment of a bunch of people screaming GOAL is really fun. I guess I watch it for the fans, not for the game. | ||
