    Haha – I do the same. I kind of like watching sporting events even if I’m not so sporty myself. Nor do I really care… but there’s something about seeing so many enthusiastic people it’s hard not to get caught up in it myself. And now I actually kind of enjoy watching football!

      It becomes a social event above a sporting event. In the end, only those on the field are truly participating. The rest of us are just watching and being social.

    Well you know how much I love sports. I have a HUGE soccer/football fan. I have a couple of huge projects and one of them is on sports. There is so much to it than a game. That’s what I want to share with people – the passion, the culture, the people. There is more to sports than the game.

    You definitely did a great job of highlighting the aspects of the game that aren’t the game itself.

      Thanks Jeremy. I know just enough about the game to be dangerous. I kind of recognize things enough to be ready to cheer or be outraged with the rest of the pub, but would be clueless at home if noone else reacted.

    I really enjoy college football back in the States, and I can handle the longer time span for the games, but I’m really enjoying getting into football/soccer here in Germany.

    I hear you on the marathon American football really is – even for the audience. That’s why I usually join the tailgate crowd sometime after the game has started or leave early. Glad you’re enjoying the German soccer experience. I hadto move away to appreciate it 🙂

      I am enjoying the games. Is there anything like tailgating in the German aspect of watching football?

        Not that I am aware of. If the weather is good, people might get together for a BBQ I guess – but not in front of the stadium and not for that long.
