I like watching sports, especially soccer. To be honest though, since it became virtually controlled by big money, my interest is waning. When I was a kid it was quite feasible to see a team go from the bottom of the leagues to the top in 4 seasons. Now, if the club doesn't have mega-bucks it's unlikely that they'll ever be able to buy the players to do that.
As one of our rugby players said recently: the English (soccer) Premiership should be called the Andrex (brand of toilet paper) League - they're very soft and inexplicably expensive.
Otherwise, I don't get this whole tribal supporting business. I used to support my home side, because that's where I came from, but all this supporting the big teams just because they are big is just plain weird to me.
Despite liking facts and figures I also can't understand people's almost encyclopaedic knowledge of what player played in what year for what team and scored how many goals in that season. This just bores the heck out of me - but as a teenager, if you can't be bothered with this stuff, you don't fit into the "in crowd". What I find bizarre is that a lot of these guys who know all this stuff often can't add one and one together.
