Can anyone explain why the fuck do normalfags go apeshit about football? They're fucking watching a bunch of men playing with a leather ball on a field. Is that so engaging that they're ready to spend fuckload of money to get to the world cup? They don't even fucking play the game themselves. They only watch it.
Is soccer just a meme?

Humans are innately tribalistic and sports teams play into it.
The athletes are displaying an extreme level of athleticism and you see human beings at their highest potential. Which has a similar appeal to seeing a lion chase down a gazelle.
There is tension and drama that naturally results from a tournament. Will the team make it through the one game they need to win to not be knocked out? What about that personal rivalry between player A and player B? What about between team C and team D?
It's something you can watch together with your buds while having a pint.
There is this nerdy side to it which if you get good at can win you money through sports betting.
It's popular because it's popular, it's the worlds biggest game and thus the amount of competition is intense.
It's a sport everybody can play at home with a ball, two nets, and some sort of playing field. Everybody can practice the sport with nothing more than a cheap ball. This makes it the game of everybody, from a rich brit outfitted head to toe in matching sports wear, to the african kid kicking around an inflated pigs bladder.

Sports awaken tribal instincts in us. It's not really about the game itself but the fandom and loyalty to a certain team/player. People always take it way too seriously and that's why you see normies going all ooga booga and flinging shit at perceived enemies for liking an opposing team. It's really no different from politics.
Eli Hernandez
I like the tactics and skill involved, from the formation picked by the manager to man marking, or the dribbling and tackling skills. Each aspect requires good spatial awareness and tactical thinking to exploit any weaknesses and I find it very entertaining.
Eli Clark
How come sportfags go crazy over shit on tv, but when they see people playing it in the park they don't care?
Do you like watching that sport or not?
I like mma, and if a fight broke out on the street I'd watch that too. Why can't ballfags do the same?
John Davis
i'd rather watch a movie or play vidya together
football looks repetetive as fucking hell
Sebastian Fisher
Because it's fun to watch countries selected representatives brawl it out on a football field.
It's not really about the sport, it's about the players and the fans. So

You do realize that it's a mafia? There's no real skill involved, unless you mean acting skills. Every team is told to win or lose before the match even begins so everyone's pocket will be happy with a compromise.

Not even a sportsfag, but everything sounds retarded when you simplify things like that

I used to play soccer as a kid in school because i grew up in socal around mexicans so it was always soccer, never cared about it since but I have been watching world cup matches the background recently when i get up at 5am while i'm on this site. it was a lot of fun kicking other kids in the shins or kicking a ball right into someones face during a match when I was a kid.

Other sports have much more interesting play, the problem with soccer/footie is how softcore it really is. You see a guy trip or get tackled and he'll be milking it on the floor trying to get pity points or a yellow card for the against team, thats boring. Watch Handegg/Rugby in comparison, you see some real physical grit which isnt just legwork and the engagements literally have greater impact.
Jacob Powell
I like watching football, basketball also. I can't explain you why but I find watching them quite interesting. Also another big factor for me is that watching sports drains time that I would spend just browsing internet and being even more depressed.
Josiah Powell
like the others already said: tribalism.
I like to pretend I give a fuck about the World Championship right now. It's great if you wanna socialize with normies so that they think you're one of them and so that they don't hate you for being a weirdo or whatever.
it's also a good conversation opener. sometimes grills are into it too if they like sports so it's good if you got nothing else to talk about for a moment. tough luck if she doesn't follow soccer at all though.

I swear there is no escape from these simpletons. you just encounter them at some point in your life or even more often than that. just nod and smile and hope they leave quickly so that they don't get ticked off by whatever you do.
Zachary Martin
I don't watch football but I can understand why some people enjoy it.
I can watch it and get really into it and make myself enjoy it if I want but it's really not something I'm interested.
Idk if OP likes watching any competitive things, like video game tournaments or something like that but it's similar.
Nathan Gray
yeah I'm the triggered one kek. I don't even know that team yet you have a whole folder of childish pictures of them saved on your computer. You have zero self awareness retard.

FIFA is private company run on profit. Their interest is to keep making money and keeping all teams happy.
Our governments practically fund this private organizations and build stadions for them in hope it will gather alot of turists.
Of course all companies related to soccer like gambling, ads...etc have also interedt making money and best way to keep everyone happy is to organize games and all.
If everything was played according to skills than germans wouldnt lose this time by some random country and then yet last time win against brazil 7:0 doesnt make fucking sense.
These teams are getting cash from ads, sponzors, gambling institutions and not if they are going to win or lose world cup so it doesnt matter for them.
Soccer would be much more honest sport if only money they got was from winning and losing games then competition would force them to play harder and train harder. But we all know those are all averagr players who like to go after games to thailand to fuck ladyboys and get wasted on drugs.

I imagine myself in Liverpool, working in my pie and burger van. Our mission to sell as many pies as we can to the N*rthern pig men. We serve up Pukka Pies by the dozens but they keep coming. I throw pie after pie into the gaping toothless maws of the N*rtherners but I soon run out and start cooking up burgers. I feed as many as I can but since the N*rtherners are so disgustingly obese they keep screaming for more.
Then I am punched by one in the back of the head, they're climbing into my catering van. I fight back but there are too many, they begin to overwhelm me with the sheer weight of their bodies like the bloated pig men that they are.
I am punched again. Berry faced, slap headed cunts scream into my face "FOOKIN' FEED ME" but they know there is no food left... they get angrier and angrier till they all begin stomping my head into the floor of my van before starting to fight with eachother.
As the light fades out of my eyes and they begin drinking the condiments and salt I had left out for them. I see Dave Gahan (DEPECHE MODE) looking down and smiling at me. Then I wake up in sunny Kent, my homeland. My Southern brethren greet me as an old friend and hand me a pint of Spitfire ale.. the warm breeze blows trees that filter dappled sunlight onto lush green parkland. I'm finally home.. I finally made it into heaven.

proof that have zero clue what you are talking about. Please just contain your autism and be quiet on things you don't know shit about.
>These teams are getting cash from ads, sponzors, gambling institutions and not if they are going to win or lose world cup so it doesn't matter for them.
I think you must have a legit brain deficiency to "think" something like that and actually typing it out.

It is a cope. In psychology known as "identification mechanism". It is mostly people without any real accomplishments in life, so they project the accomplishments of the team they support onto themselves. They think if their team wins, they accomplished something.
