Topic: The love in football - page 2. (Read 603 times)

Can there be any specific answer to that question? You just like things because you enjoy them, there shouldn't always be something in general about that thing to make people love it and the same thing goes for any sport. If you don't love tennis, it doesn't mean there is something that you don't like in the sport but it's just that you enjoy watching another sport and not tennis, so you just generally don't like it, and I think the same thing is for football because it's a thrilling and enjoyable sport and people love watching it.

There can be people though who will say that they like a sport for something very specific like maybe a player that plays that sport or maybe a team that they like or maybe some other thing, but for the majority, I'm sure there is no specific feature that makes everyone love it but it's just the game that they love watching.

Football is a very old game, and has a very historical story, which people interact with and cheer up. It's a very interesting game, with many strategy, which, when applied business wise can help a man. And right from the beginning of the generation, as kids, we all played football and enjoyed watching it. While growing up, we saw adults talking about football. Aside being a game filled with actions; injuries, skills, coaching etc, football always was a top priority game for everyone. I remember watching national games, as a kid, never knew there were any such thing as premier league. World cup and nations cup were the games I enjoyed. Later, I was able to discover that football never ends, each Saturday the premier league also showed up. It all began from tender age and has already registered in the brain. So, we are meant to love football. Additionally, it's a world game, everywhere FIFA controls almost every country, regarding football. Humans are expected to love such games.

The football  is the king of sports, you only need a couple of stones to use as an archer and a ball, so just play in any space you find, there is no sport that assimilates that into all social structures like soccer does, so That simplicity translates into being one of the most used bets.

Hi,
 , sorry It seems to me that you like the NFL so much that you forget that for the rest of the world + 7700 billion people football = Soccer = futbol. they love ⚽

For me, if I must be honest, i will confess that I've never had any love for football in general until I started betting. Supposed sports I used to have great love for was wrestling, but this was before I discovered that 100 percent of the outcome in every wrestling match is already pre-determined, this realization automatically made me hate wresting.

Another type of sports which I have good natural love for is car and bike race, I love this sports possibly because I love driving and also love speed.

But coming back to football, the only reason why I've come to love football is due to betting, it's one of the most sporting games at is almost available at all time to bet on, aside this, I don't fancy football that much, even though I do love to play it physically.

I know that football is the most popular sport, especially in Brazil, people there are football lovers.
But I think it depends on the country, basketball and baseball are known in the US, basketball is known in our country. So I don't agree with what you say "Why do people love football more than any other sports" because all sports are entertaining. For me, playing football is also difficult because you have to control the ball with your feet, you really need to practice properly to do that.

Football is the most cosmopolitan game in the world. The reason for is it's ease of understanding the motive and rules and easy setup for play and practice.
Football doesn't need much gear, just a ball and upto 22 people would be contended. It doesn't have a strict requirement for the field on unofficial games like futsal.
The game of football is fast paced and the gameplay are mostly around one and half hours. i.e. it ends quick. It's easier for viewers to find and follow the action.
Even a person who have never seen a game would know and start enjoying the game in a few minutes.
The game doesn't stops or delay due to minor weather conditions. And  it's truly a team game where everyone needs to perform well for a win.

If you mean Soccer, then I'll say different people has different reason from different perspectives why they enjoy soccer, but there are also general reason why people enjoy soccer.
For some people, it's just a game that requires 22 men running around the field chasing and kicking balls for 90 minutes, and it would sound kinda boring when you explain it that way but there's really more to soccer many people don't see, I mean there's the strategy and teamwork, the excitement and emotions it stirs up amongst the fans.

 Soccer is a very simple game that can be played anywhere, and again, it doesn't really require much equipment to set the pitch, which makes it very easy and quite fun too if you ask me. Like a few person have already stated, I'll agree that soccer is the most populous game around the world with millions of audience who watch from around the world. I personally enjoy the teamwork as the athletic skills required to play the game, it's just so exciting to watch, especially when your team is playing. I've never seen people being so passionate about any other sport than they're with soccer, I see people taking it really personal when their team losses a game, and you can feel the outburst of joy when their team wins.

Again, unlike every other sport, I believe soccer is a bit easier to predict because they have the best analytic tools and other stuffs that helps you analyse the upcoming games which makes it more convenient for gamblers to easily predict and place their bet on. We can also see that the most followed and talked about athlete in the whole world is actually a footballer. On Instagram we can see that Christiano Ronaldo is the most followed and popular athlete with over 612 Million followers on Instagram. To show how populous the game is and how much it's preferred by many.

Indeed, some people here still question what the OP means about football because America also has its own football which has way of playing that is very different from football in general.
But because the OP didn't state it clearly, some people also think they interpret football as it does in general.
Moreover, things like this actually have to be straightened out by the OP so that there are no mistakes in interpreting the word football even though American football is not really popular with most people from all countries around the world.

American football is mostly of interest to Americans and its spread has not yet dominated every country, but I am still confused by the notion that American football is religion.
American football is sport and how can this type of sport be interpreted as religion?

You are correct I agreed with that as well.
Just like what few users already said above, you know every country has their favorite games they do love playing and practicing even though football will be the overall games but just like their attention are not being channelled to it because they don't put much interest rather than either focusing on basketball baseball or hockey game. Football is one it's kind that almost pull most of the major crowd across all games and people traveling from country to country to just watch a live match.

I will answer according to my version. why most people in the world like or love football. The answer is simple, because this type of sport can be played by all levels of society. does not recognize castes such as golf and other types of sports. neither rich nor poor, we can play this game. Also, football is played as a team and we can have fun with it and keep our bodies healthy at the same time.

This question is too simple, you can even do it via internet search. However, not all countries dominate this type of sport. For example, in America there are many types of sports that are more popular than football. Well, let me share a little experience. In Asia football is the number one sport, especially in my country and almost all levels of society like it. I used to attend a sports school, even at an early age. that's why, I prefer betting on football.
Football also develops every era, now is the era of modern football. The difference is, technology is involved and slightly reduces the characteristics of football itself. there are pros, and there are cons. However, this does not reduce the enthusiasm of the people who like it. Especially if you are involved in betting, you will get a sensation that cannot be described in words. more precisely, for me.

Football is one sport i love with all my heart, and I know I'm not the only one that loves it that much,it is something that Unites the world together.Football's love to me is the greatest love I can ever have on earth.My girlfriend once asked me whether among football and she,which do I love the most,and she was surprised I chose football over her.She fell down in tears,and I told her football is my life,I just can't do without it,she told me I sometimes use to cry to the house in heartbreak that my team lost a match,but yet,I don't still quit it,i still keep watching it.Yes,it is true that no matter how our club loses,we will still keep watching them play because we love the sport.

Different people in different countries of the world have their preferred sports but there's no doubt that football remains the most famous of all the sports in the world and that's why it attracts more global audience than any other sport.

The love in football can never be overemphasized as we all have seen that people of different races are more binded together because of football. I don't think that there's any other than football that can bring people together am much as football does abd that's is just the beauty of the beautiful round leather game

Basically I think showing a statistics to prove that people actually love football more than any other sports would have been a better way to prove the point of the op but since there is no evidence to backup the point of the op I think I will take this statement as op's personal opinion because different people have different sports they love and support not just football.

On the other hand, I think people love watching football because of the fun they get while watching it and to some it could be because of the love they have for the teams they support.

This is exactly why the addiction grows everyday...
No matter what happens, you'll always find people hitting on Thier TV set buttons to search on free-to-air channels, atleast to watch livegames... Football is joy, love and unity.. imagine the huge celebration on every champions league final goal - it's either a player gets seriously stampede on the floor for not running outta the field on time, or the security rushes to his aid...lol

I had a gist with someone today as regards some parcels of land being developed to enable more youths enjoy the games of football, basketball, snooker, volley ball, boxing, instead of engaging frequently in smoking hard drugs that impale and disorient their thought pattern.

Sports is good, but the game of football is more popular in my country and is more loved and understood as compared to other sports that thrive.

The subject of football is and always has been a good conversation starter for new acquaintances, mostly bros, because it is more loved and full of thrilling performances from the football stars, that one just have to reiterate how good a goal or tackle or dribble was.

You just made me remember those good old days in primary school during our games session the classes plays football match against each other and it was really fun as other classmates that are not featured in the match will cheer their classmates that are playing up it's really damn fun though.

When we talk about football, we are referring to a sports that more than 90% of the countries in the world embrace and are involved in. Football is like a symbol that brings countries together with one another. Majority of the world population likes football and plays or watch football so the kind of popularity that football have gained across the globe can never be compared with any other sports.

Whichever that is more popular but at least they played and watch football, I can't argue that there are people who doesn't like football it's just a matter of choices. But the population of esports can't be compared to football in general because is kind of game which every kids do practice right from childhood even though in their home you can still finds some kids doing that or most of the secondary do sets some kinds of inter-competition and intra-competition among schools and classrooms to know how skillful the students are in terms of football, although their are others popular games being played but our time only football was so common.

Football is easy to understand and practice. People also like it because it requires limited equipment or sports materials to play the game. With just a ball you can play soccer games anywhere in the neighborhood. In places like South America and Africa football is played on the streets and anywhere there is little space. It is many people's favourite because it has received more publicity everywhere in the world than any other sports. There are also may competitions that are a recognized world wide in the game of soccer.


To some people watching football games is a waste of time and energy. This is because they have other sports that entertain them far better than football. I think the choice of spots depends to a large extent on the location of an individual. Football might not be as popular as cricket in Pakistan and India. Baseball and basketball ball will also be more played in the US than football. So we can conclude that more people will love cricket in Pakistan and China and we will also have more fans of baseball and basketball in the US than football.

Football is the most watch sport, most discussed and most entertaining sport in the world. Premier League is one the biggest English in the world that people want to see every year and also the Champions League. The national leagues are also interesting to watch and events like world cup are the reasons why Football is unmatched with any other sports. No sport in the world that unite people like football.

Do you know that in Brazil, parent prefer their children to go to football academy than actually going to academy for studies. That's because parent want the world to see the talent of their children. This is what love of football brings to people.


You got me smiling. Why on earth will you dislike football because of sport betting. The joy in defending my favorite player alone is enough to make me want to stay all day doing that. I will repeat it the second day and a day after that day.

Football is fun even if you don't dislike the sport betting, it's even difficult to bets football matches than to bet other sport bets but that shouldn't be barrier to avoid football. I doubt if you really skip the day Argentina had their final with France last year, everyone loves football even the women do. 

If you are referring to American football, then I am outta here. I try to understand the game but it is too complicated unlike basketball that is without much complications. I may watch it but I do not bet on it because what I do not understand, I do not bet on.

I may try my hands one betting on one or two games if I feel the odds is rights after I get a hang of the game but for now, I am still learning about the sport.
