Lived oversees for half my working life so far and have only just returned. Always missed the footy and tried hard to watch any game I could find. Thank god when P2P hit the net a while back, that was a huge lifesaver.
Found watching soccer in the UK boring, the crowd was generally more entertaining than the game. Living in North America I became a fan of Ice Hockey, Baseball and especially NFL. There is a lot of fluff involved when watching any of those games live, but overtime I became use to the concept of keeping the crowd engaged, the T-shirt cannons, cheerleaders, music etc. Became a real fan of the Montreal Canadiens (watching them at the Bell Centre is a huge highlight) and the Philadelphia Eagles and still keep an eye on them, but footy will aways be number 1.
