Never watch any sport at all. Don't like to play any. Don't like to watch any.
Never ever undertood all the hype about sports and all the fans...

The last time I watched sport show was about 14 years ago when I was 20. I was interested in Bushido they transled in Israel for a brief period of time.

Well, aren't we just a bunch of football hooligans! How about paint drying? Any fans out there watch some cool paint drying recently?

I was in Silkeborg, Denmark a few years ago, during the national "soccer" championships for all the school children. I spent the day with a friend and her two boys, watching them play all day. It was phenomenal, and made me really appreciate the sport.

Yup! Part of my job. We have to watch the status of drying between coats.

It's amazing how intricate the proceedings can be in the game. I've been coaching it for fifteen years and am still learning it. At first, for a novice, it looks like a complete free for all. Not so. The best players are highly intelligent and the best teams select them mostly for that. Of course they have to be able to walk and see the ball!
What I like most of the international competitions is that they are performed by the best players a country has. Coachwise, the choices can be dubious. After these competitions going back to our field is frustration after personal frustration. But it's a good learning tool, you can really see the team perform better in its structure.

Believe it or wish not, a sport type activity is good for the brain. All that oxygen flowing massively through creates wonders. It relieves stresses, brings calmness and promotes concentration. And endorphins are the best drug around. Can't wait to get back on the pitch!

Forgot to add. You don't have to be a sports person to play. In my team(s) we are all midsection endowed and old. It adds more jokes to the game.

The attraction to the game is universal. The only mandatory equipment is a ball. And even there I've seen kids play wonders with bunched up plastic bags!

I didn't actually watch it dry, but I just paid some guy a lot of money to change the color of my house.

Well when you pay for it you have to watch it dry, just to make sure they do it right.

Just dance around your front lawn wearing nothing but a panama hat while singing your favorite '60's television jingle and waving at all your neighbors and passersby. The color of your house will certainly change by your neighbor's estimation.

I have found that watching grass growing is more exciting than soccer (or football as you are calling it.) I was in Costa Rica some years ago and there was not enough beer to make the US vs. Costa Rica match even mildly amusing even though everyone around me was screaming their fool heads off. Now what they call American Football is a whole different matter. That game I do enjoy watching.

Yeah .. soccer em started .. I realized just now as some freaks drove past my house honking loudly. Oh and all those people chit-chatting "soccer soccer soccer". Though the WM in Germany was funny. All those flags and excited people

Actually the only sport I like to watch in TV is Poker. Make that: I watch sometimes. As in 3-4 times a year, and that is much more often then every other sport

YES!! Actually ... yes! I'm building a large enclosed retirement condo for one of my cats, and I'm painting it and stenciling it ... and it's been really hot out, so the paint dries pretty quickly, so ..... I've been watching it dry .... and

you meant that as a joke right?
