I lived in the UK all my childhood, played football daily. Someone said football is artistic, and it really is. Its a pure passion. One vast difference from NFL for example, is European football clubs are much more local for most, so people have a more direct connection to the team. Just in the UK, a vast number of teams, in several divisions. I love sports, NFL, Baseball, so dont think i am putting one against the other.
During the last world cup, the games were on late at night, and TXStar has absolutely no interest in watching them with me. She sat through a few, and one one occassion, we where watching the USA team play Germany. As soon as USA scored, against these giants, TXStar became passionate about these 11 guys she was bored at just the day before, watching them "run after a ball for 90 minutes.... yawn". She then followed the team, read a little on some of the players history and got that little sparkle in her eye.
Every sport has its followers, and its critics.
