I really don't get it at all. How can a whole nation get so uptight and fanatical about what is basically 22 men chasing a ball up and down a field (actually only 20 men because 2 of them just stand around and watch the others and occassionally stop the ball from going into a net). So much money is thrown at it from the huge stadiums that are built to the debt that people incur to buy their annual season tickets to support their team, not to mention the shirts, memorabilia etc that they buy. Then the wages of the players. Ok, they are good ball chasers and they are fit (not complaining when they remove their shirts;) but at the end of the day, they are chasing a ball for 90mins....looks to me like it is just big boys playing little boys games, or men who refuse to grow up and want to stay in the playground....however, they manage to have a great lifestyle out of it because we pay them so much to do it.
Someone please explain, I really don't get it at all;)
