Topic: Where would you prefer to watch your favorite team? - page 4. (Read 712 times)

Probably those of your family members tends to realize that they have been spending their utility times on activities that distracts them from the endivoirs of productivities and could assume that the past spent on watching football wasted times after finding either one or two ways where they feels more funs or where do have them profits to spend such times instead of watching football.

I hope it is not necessary to abuse anyone who does not regard watching football? For yet I have seen scenarios where some football fans actually says anyone who is not a football fans is missing out and doesn't deserve to exist.
Football is just an activity which anyone is entitled to decide if going to love it or leave it because aside the funs it has nothing special to those who feels comfortable watching it.

I am not so connected with watching football but to the long and short runs that I have decided to watch it, I would always love watching in the bar so I can also be sipping my beer while I have my ears around the corners listening to those arguing and making funs of their rivals.

I do much enjoy those moments seeing the football fans being moved and remoted according to the directions of the balls. 😂
You can imagine a viewer pulling to the left or right while sitting in a chair simply because he either want the ball to ba a goal in favour of his team or he is under the control to a goal ball doesn't be a goal 😂. That is always when he does not want the ball to go in favour of his opposite team.

Furthermore, after the game is over, you could hear some fans whose team has lost the match to be blaming his team player and accusing him of being the caused why they lost the match.
Football in general is just fun to watch amidst other people.

Basically, it depends on the personal mood. There are times we want to have discussions/arguments with other people about the team we love, and the excitement as the game gets more intense while watching at the viewing center. The enjoyment and the atmosphere are different as you watch together.

While there are times, we feel like we want to focus especially if it is a game where we don't want to get disturbed. A bottle of beer and some snacks while watching is enough to enjoy watching the team we want.

I think more than 90% of people would love to watch their favourite players on screen in action. Yes, some may miss these moments if busy in their personal life but mostly people will love watching their favourite players either live or at least on the TV screens. Anyways, the situation becomes more tense when you are watching your favourite team and at the same time you have placed a bet on them too. This way, if your team is in a winning position you will get more joy as you are also winning the bet but if your favourite team is losing then it will create anxiety and sadness as you know that not only your favorite team will lose but you will lose the bet and money too.

There are some gamblers who will not watch the matches of their favorite players if they have placed bet on them. It is very hard to cool down your emotions if you know that you will be losing the bet because of the bad performance of your favorite team.

The latest trend for me watching big games is to watch it with my colleagues from my workplace and some friends and friends of friends on a projector mostly at my office building. We do use the office resources but the beer and snacks are purchased with collected money. There's always a mid game beer refill which are mostly funded by some happy person or from the bet money won and loss. It's one of the best way of getting to match hype and getting together with friends. For the less hyped and personally important games, I watch them alone in my TV.

Funny enough, the troubles that comes with going to viewing centers and the dangers as well are been over looked and that’s simply because of the fun and excitement as well as the pleasures that comes with it.
I agree with op that, I would personally prefer to watch these matches outside, maybe in viewing center or maybe a bar as most times, it might not be the games that spark excitement but the argument from defending teams.

I think I also have to agree with you to some degree and this is because there are cases where I would want to watch a game alone especially when I book a game I’m skeptical about and this is because I don’t want to distracted when watching the game.

This is how I feel too, it's more pleasant for me to enjoy watching a game alone than to be in a crowd and have their conversations and emotions draw my attention. It probably comes with age (at least for some of us), when I was younger I used to go to see games in stadiums, but I haven't done that in many years.

Recently, I manage to watch a game on TV only after the kids go to bed. So if I am lucky and they go to sleep earlier. I catch the second half or a preview of that day's matches. Tonight is the Champions League, and hopefully, the kids will be in bed by 9 so I can enjoy some peace, the game, and some cold beer. I also have some bets, and it will be interesting to watch both games.

Watching anywhere will certainly provide relaxation and comfort, of course many people don't like noise. On the other hand, for me personally, watching the moments before the match starts will be an interesting sight. Especially if there is momentum to score a goal, of course we will express our joy by shouting the goal in the cafe. If you watch it alone at home you will definitely feel bored. If a goal occurs, it is difficult for us to express our screams because sleeping family members will definitely be disturbed.

IMO, each place will have different emotions and the important thing is that we get to witness the team we love. I have an interesting feeling about enjoying myself without wanting to be around others, the feeling of focusing without being distracted or accumulating the emotions of those around me. It's just a personal feeling, and no one forces us to choose what is best as long as each of us feels happy with that choice.

Television with family. My wife loves watching the Golden State Warriors, she is a big fan of Steph Curry. My kids have other teams they like. My youngest son loves Luka Doncic. That's why whenever I think there's a good game I open our television and play it there, especially on weekends. But when it comes to boxing and MMA, I watch it by myself on my computer because my wife thinks it is too brutal and she doesn't want the kids to watch it, yet.
Well, I am just glad that there is one sport that we all love, although we have our local basketball, I still prefer watching the NBA.
Also, I like to open the eyes of my kids to sports, so that when they grow they will be active in some club in their school and who knows if they will be the next Michael Jordan someday. I wish! Still, that would be good for their health if they grow playing the sport and not mostly with gadgets which I think most kids do today.

I know one guy who regularly watches along with his friend and makes money from that. He usually watches alone if the match is not interesting though. So there can be a business side to this too. I don't think you can call him a celebrity, but he's definitely famous. At the very least, the average football fan should know him. What I don't understand is why people view his livestream since they need to stream the match separately. Sometimes he asks his viewers too and some of them only watch his live stream and follow the match through livescore. I guess some people enjoy watching fans' emotions more than the football itself, especially if they are rival fans.

There is a great joy in watching favorite team's games with friends especially when playing football world cup I enjoy these things a lot. and when there is a game of the favorite team according to everyone's favorite team, we arrange multimedia projectors and many friends and others enjoy the game there. I don't think this fun can be had with family or watching games alone. because while enjoying the game with friends, besides watching the game, betting with each other for the favorite team makes the moment more enjoyable.

If there's a chance that I can watch it on viewing center then would choose this since we know that the experience is so different since its more exciting to watch the game live.

Also I don't want to watch in sportsbar since we don't know how other people think and we might pick up a fight especially if some of the people out there are so drunk or they don't like our actions and opinions.

So if I can't select the viewing center then would pick watch at home as second option since its pretty safe to watch at home and we can bond together with other family member which is also a fan of sports that we are watching on. We provably have different taste towards what we like to do but what's important is we enjoy watching the game .

Just like you, I also prefer to watch football matches in cafes, because usually in my city there are several quite large cafes here where at every football match, especially EPL or LaLiga, they often hold group viewing events. Usually this event will attract a lot of people to come to the place, usually 100s of people will attend the event and I prefer this kind of togetherness - yeah, even though at one time there will be a commotion, it's not too much of a problem for me. But that doesn't mean that I always go to cafes just to watch football, if I'm too lazy I also prefer to watch in my room.

You might be right about your statement, financial status matters too cause a lot of wealthy men would rather book a ticket and go view the match at the stadium where it's been played and would even stay at vip sections where they won't mingle with common people cause they're security conscious, people like celebrities and wealthy businesses men. And some wealthy individuals that are wealthy would rather stay at home and view it over a big screen.

 But let's also not forget that their are some individuals who are wealthy but still love to mingle with common people sometimes and won't even mind going to a bar or sports viewing centres to view matches with their fellow fans, well I think the kind of personality an individual is also matters too. And just like you mentioned some people love to view matches with a crowd of people cheering their various cubs, while some don't mind being alone or with very few persons.

Yeah, it’s the convenience factor at home. There's nothing quite like whipping up your favorite snacks and settling in for a game in your comfy clothes. Plus, there's no beating the freedom to cheer or groan as loudly as you want without disturbing anyone!

However, there's also something to be said for the electric atmosphere of a sports bar. The shared energy of other fans, the big-screen experience, and the chance to meet fellow fanatics of your team can create a truly unique experience.

It depends on the mood and the game. Sometimes, a chill night at home is perfect, while other times, you might crave the excitement of a sports bar.

Well what you should understand is that everyone have their choices of preference, what you like might not be what the next person likes and that's very okay, that's life for you, everyone is created differently. I am a kind of person that loves football i have passion for the sports, i love to catch fun, make jokes and laugh over silly mistakes from some players and doing that alone does not really seem interesting, i prefer to do that with people that share likeminds and trust me you will meet different kinds of people at bars where football matches are viewed live, there are some funny people you will encounter at the bar that would make vewing the match together very interesting, with their funny analysis and comments. And sometimes you could get to link up with smart  and interesting people that fan same club as you.

Have you ever visited some random pirate websites that stream a football match? My favorite website to stream matches is anything where you can filter some dumb comments on a live match. Sometimes it is more entertaining than the match itself, especially when one club is overly dominant and I'm just a neutral fan. There are tons of dumb takes or incredible jinxes whenever you view the chats, which is why it is a good place to laugh if you can take them as jokes. Sometimes they are going a bit too far though, but there is always an option to ignore them.

I never watched a live match in a stadium, and I don't plan to do so either since going overseas to watch a football match is a luxury that I can't afford. On the other hand, my local club is just a terrible tier-3 club that doesn't even play that well in a bottom-tier division.

In short it depends, e.g. in our financial status and what kind of people we are, i.e introvert or extrovert.
For you, it seems you are not really wealthy and you are also introvert because you think will get exhausted easily from a crowd of people but extroverts are the opposite of that. They are outgoing and likes to hang out with a lot of people even if they don't know them personally but not all extroverts are financially stable, so they can still end up watching the game in their own homes or they can only avail the cheaper tickets. What important for them is that they are not alone watching or there is still a crowd of people cheering on each of their favourite teams.

 It depends on the individual, me personally I really love my comfort zone, therefore instead of going to the viewing center or bar, I'll rather invite my friends over to my apartment and we'll still enjoy the match together and catch more vibes than we could get in a viewing center, which is mostly crowded and unsafe for my personality.

 I'm very security conscious, sometimes fans might bump into an argument in a viewing center and it may lead to a fight or what if I loose concentration while being focused on the game and misplace my device or wallet, all those are what i put into consideration that's why I would prefer view football match at the comfort of my home.

If I have to be honest, the most fun watching football is at the stadium of my favorite team. unfortunately, we can't watch it live all the time, even on television, sometimes I miss a favorite team's match because the match schedule clashes with activities, whether it's work or obstacles that force us not to be able to watch it. If it's a local league, I often find time to watch it. however, for the European League, I missed many matches because of different time constraints. unfortunately, I'm from Asia so every week there are lots of matches broadcast in the early hours of the morning. Sometimes, I can't watch it even if it's only on television. Talking about watching football, whether alone or in a group, the excitement is different. however, I am a football fan. whether watching alone or in a group is not much different. In fact, when I watch it at home only on television, I enjoy watching it alone more. I don't know why, but there is a different sensation if I watch it alone. I enjoy adrenaline, being carried away by emotions, be it euphoria or upset because my favorite team lost. The point is, as a football lover, I can enjoy whatever the conditions and circumstances in terms of watching.
