That's why I can't watch it. Football is great because it's much easier to follow and get used to. Just get the ball in the net. It probably is slower in terms of 'in play' action but there are less breaks.

I prefer the culture to the sport these days if I'm honest though. England are shit and Villa are shit so that sucks a lot of enjoyment out, there is only so long I can watch my teams getting battered.

Sorry for bringing this discussion back btw :rofl:

The only time I ever quite get the hype is for the Superbowl. And then somehow all the pomp makes you care and you don't even know why.

It definitely feels like a sport that's easier to get into than one that has an entire globe of 12,000 years of history.

Holy **** I want to hear elph announce a baseball game.

I don't get it. The ball is back in play in under ten seconds most of the time.

True but the other side to that is scoring a late goal and winning. Individual points being more significant and having a bigger impact on the game = more drama imo.

lol

you're dumbing down the entire sport of European football and then exaggerating the strategy in american football.

for me a good match of euro football is like a game of chess. the whole team moves together and shifts allowing the better team to retain possession and make quick, short, accurate passes.

it's like me sitting here and saying yeah american football is just hail marys down the field until the other team gets an interception.

dude you watch esports dont step to me about sports sucking

Bruh, seriously, tennis is the best sport. It's the closest sports will ever come to a true clash of physical skill between two gladiators. Novak Djokovic is a monster of a human being, Rapha Nadal is a cyborg, Andy Murray is a Hogwarts student, and I don't even know what Federer is.

Tennis is up there definitely.

Some of my most enjoyable sporting moments were in tennis. Emotional when Murray won Wimbledon the first time.

Dude I got so into Murray during one of my tennis binges when he was still hitting himself with his racket and biting it and being the guy who was just on the cusp of being in the Big 4. He was so fun to watch but he still so clearly deserved to be among the best in the world if he would just chill out lol.

But definitely the most fun I've ever had watching tennis was Djokovic during his first winning streak. OMG he was insane. Possibly the greatest shot I've ever seen was when Federer served him this insane serve and Djokovic just reacted like a cheetah and sent this completely impossible return that instantly ended the game. The mother****er is Spider-Man with his speed, strength, and flexibility I swear.

@1:12 if you want to see Djokovic send a shot between the net and the official stand. Basically an impossible shot if you're not a Greek God.
