Poll: Football! Do you Give a Crap?

[interspark]

the football was on yesterday and apparently a large number of people watched it, but the thing is, from my point of view, very few people talk or even care about it, so i was wondering what the ratio was

personally i think its a load of rubbish but i dont hate it unless it interferes with doctor who

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Woo, football!!!! Yee-haw.
It's Slovenia-Algeria right now, and Slovenia just scored. Woo.
Seriously though, yeah, I'm watching and I'll probably be watching until F1 later today.
So, yeah, I'm very interested.

 

[fenrizz]

Yes, I like football.

 

[wooty]

WOO FOOTY! also.

The major craze only comes once every 4 years, so let the footy fans have their bit of fun while its there.

 

[DigitalSushi]

For me F1 takes priority over football.

I like international Football tournaments, but I hate Footballers, bunch of whiney pampered babies.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Apparently everybody gives a crap about football, seeing as these kinds of threads are spreading like wildfire.

OT. Normally I don't enjoy football, but for the WC I make an exception. Go Dutch!

 

[Kukakkau]

Used to play when I was a kid (always the keeper -.- ) which is good for fun/killing time

But watching it is just so dull - the balls over here now, he's fallen and faking, he kicks it and GOOOOOOOOALL (as if it's a pivotal moment in history). Matches for me just seem to be a place where people get over excited and overpaid over a ball.

Football salary = good few thousand a week even if they don't play in an actual game. And people wonder why alot of players are arrogant personalities and end up using drugs etc

(Had to do an English debate on that before - it's a big topic)

I don't mind the game itself, although personally I find it boring compared to rugby or football, but I loathe the majority of people in this damn country, who expect me to give a shit just because they do.

Is Ireland even in it?

 

[Fraeir]

Dislike it bigtime, just like I dislike any other sport.
The day games get their own televised tournaments (I know Korea does that with StarCraft since the game give every Korean a boner, but StarCraft was never big with me) I might vaguely tolerate it.

But still, sports = Meh, don't care.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

For me F1 takes priority over football.

YES!!! Another F1 fan here! Woo!
Seriously though, I haven't seen enough of you, guys, here.
Out of curiosity, who do you root for?

I would make a remark about how we evicerated the Netherlands during the last Euro... but seeing how you're participating in the tournament, and we're not, I think I'll pass.

Is Ireland even in it?

Nope, as far as I remember.

 

[Kajt]

No. Football is bloody boring to play, and even more boring to watch.

 

[Timmey]

Football is my religion, the world cup it possibly the best thing in the world

 

[chstens]

The only time I've ever watched and cared about football was during the finale of Euro 2004, Greece vs. Portugal, and that's because I was in Greece at the time, Greece won, it was crazy in the streets that night.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Why yes, I do like football. It's a good sport.

 

[dfphetteplace]

I have nothing against football over any other sport, I just hate all sports.

Oh most people talk about it where I am. Always going on about their teams and player transfers. I'm sensing a lot more talk about it, being that the people who don't like it are now also talking about it too (on these forums).

 

[Foxxy_Uk]

Just watch the World Cup otherwise I pay no attention to it really.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Love football... but for some reason, I just couldn't care less about the World Cup. I enjoy watching it, it's just I'm not excited.
