What's your thought on football as sport?

By surfing the web I discovered that football is loved or hated. How's this possible? Why it seems like there isn't a mid-way solution?

Which one? Football as soccer, or Football as sport similar to rugby?

Pretty meh actually. Not as a sport or something like that tho

football is the game FIFA is based upon, rugby is what you americans call football ... so
i love football, the only sport i ever bothered to watch.

i like football as a sport its very competetive and people have made ways to be pro

I like it very much, but not playing... Just watching on tv!!! hahaha

Which one do you mean? Real football or the fake and shitty one from america?

If you mean soccer, it can be really interesting or really fucking slow and boring. It so much depends on who's playing who and in what conditions. I saw Russia knock out Spain in the World Cup yesterday and that was intense.
If you mean American Football, I only watch the trick play highlights on youtube, not much else.

American football is just an excuse to legally brutalize someone. Non-American football is boring to watch.

I think it's pointless running after a ball that much, and in the end seeing 1-2 goals in a game of proffessional football.
