how did you start watching football, and if you are a boy : how do you feel about girls watching football?
I have been watching football from my birthday. My father was a player, (now he's too old), and he kept taking me with him at every game!!!

Well, I am a boy and a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Italian team (is that Buffon in your pic?) as well as Brazil team, and I think I watch football because it's so exciting and I think that anyone, no matter what age, sex, color you are can play and enjoy football and other sports.
The great thing about sports is that a 5 years old girl can sit next to a 50 year old man and watch the same game and cheer on the same team! That is what is so beautiful about it.....
Also, to answer the second part of your question, I started watching football during the 1998 world cup, I was just 10 years old at the time. I would play and talk about the games after they were done on television, it was so much fun and I have great memories from then! Then I watched the 2002 world cup, and I liked it very much! Brazil and esp. Ronaldo were awesome in that tournament! That's when I really started to love the game!
This world cup (2006) I was mature enough to really understand the game more like an adult. I was cheering for Brazil and after they lost to France I was cheering for Italy! I also follow a few club games as well, my fav clubs are Palermo, AC Milan, Juventus, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
I can't wait for the 2010 world cup!!!!!
Best Wishes my friend

My father was a player too! He used to play on his international team. Well I started watching it about 2 years ago when my dad wanted to show me Ronaldinho playing(there were also some REALLY HOT GUYS). I was so amazed at how someone could handle the ball like that and I wanted to watch more. Now I watch all the time. Sometimes my mother thinks I shouldn't watch so much but I cant help it.

Girl.
I started watching when my ex-boyfriend from Romania introduced me to the game, that was long ago and I'm still watching today as he made a believer out of me.
Hahaha, my husband doesn't watch any games. So, I guess it doesn't have anything to do with the gender at all but rather that a girl was not allowed to watch sports before, they were called tomboys by boys who were afraid that those girls would be better than the boys.

I really love the sport its very exciting to watch and the fact that there are many hot guys in the sport makes it better!!!

I'm a girl. My uncle raised me and my 2 boy cousins on football. Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays we watch nothing but football. It's kind of just inbedded in me. I love it to. I love going to games, and I love having friends over to watch games. I have the direct tv football package so I get every game played and I play fantasy football as well. I'm not one of those girls who "pretends" to understand whats going on in the game either. I know how the game works and I know the rules.

I'm a girl, I grew up with three brothers that were soccer fanatics so I followed their path.I guess it's in our blood to play and watch soccer. Now I've got two beautiful girls that also play and watch soccer like their mom..We have a great time together watching soccer games, especially this past world cup was unforgettable!

I am a girl and I watch it because my entire family watches it.. and where I was born, everyone watches it and plays it. It was kind of like a sin NOT to like or watch football, LOL. I grew up with the sport.
