I dont see why people get over excited with England playing. We haven't had a team in more years than I can remember.
I watched maybe 15 minutes against Honduras, and thought - if we dont get a lucky goal we'll lose.
Over priced, teamless team, that despite their pay cheques still cant put the ball in the fucking net.
A Sunday league team would go out with more guts.
So disappointing. We go out filled with hope and pride - an exemplar to the game - then lose to Indonesia Reserves. We used to strike fear in the opposition before the game, now now we are lucky if we get more than 5 passes before it's lost.
Uurrrr  |

"What football? I'm being quite successful with just ignoring it. See it mentioned and it's in one ear, straight out the other.
Just background noise."
I concur. Can I also add rugby, cricket, athletics, martial arts, tennis, swimming, polo(all those poor horser drowned), cycling.... I wont say golf or F1 as they are not even sports. |

"Fucking hell people, get a life eh? Moaning about a competition that's every 4 years..seriously?
Can someone tell me how many years Corrie, Emmerdale and Eastenders has been running now?  "
I'd like to try one of those life things people keep talking about. Where do I get one from?  |

Can someone tell me how many years Corrie, Emmerdale and Eastenders has been running now?  And how many hours a week this "entertainment" takes up, with omnibus editions as well? World Cup is every 4 years, 4 FUCKING YEARS!  "
Every 4 years and costs more than the whole of the corrie, enders and mmmerdale budget since their inception |

Who cares? Maybe if the soaps upped their budgets they wouldn't be so depressing! |

The 'sport' played by most people in the UK is fishing. Would the football fans agree it is only fair that some hardcore carp, trout and pike competitions be televised, perhaps booting the football (a minority sport against the number of real anglers, as opposed to active football players), into the graveyard slot. It would be cheaper for the bbc to. |

But without all this football malarkey, we wouldn't be able to buy m&ms in limited edition colour combinations and bottles of Pepsi with footballers on them 
I don't know how I lived without such things before. |

Other than Saturday night, they scored 6 goals in the previous 2 games. Games with about 6 subs in.
Did you see Lamberts finish on Wednesday night, class finish full of style, reminded me of a Brazillian player from a few decades ago. |

personally i would be happy to see all sports moved onto dedicated sports channels. and no, golf and F1 are not sports. golf is a silly snobbish pastime performed by mysogynistic men with no dress sense. F1 is just dull, dull, dull. it died in the late seventies. scalextric is more fun. |

Well I'm excited. The "golden generation" are no more and we have some exciting youngsters playing in their first international tournament. It's a new era for the national team, anything can happen.

I am quite sure most of these sports and pastimes are exciting to play. but to stand and watch? its like attending an orgy to cheer someone else on!
i think what truly irks me about sport is the excessive reportage and inane punditry. |

"... its like attending an orgy to cheer someone else on!
I'd watch that, as long as there weren't too many adverts. "
Once the game of football kicks off, you dont get adverts until half time.
Top Tip: If you dont like adverts, put the game on just as it kicks off and go and do the dishes at half time.
As soon as it ends, change the channel.
Its one of the best things to watch if you dont like adverts - 45mins without a commercial break - thats not bad.
Its even better on the BBC |

Top tip: If you don't like football, don't even bother with the telly or the adverts - switch it off just as the game kicks off and go and do something more interesting with your time instead.. like filling the dishwasher.

There is no escape! its everywhere. all the blokes i work with, it is their sole topic of conversation. i have 3 brothers and none of us are sports fans. two of them are lifeguards/gym instructors. football coverage has grown exponentially in the last 30 years. it used to be the last 2 min of the news. now it saturates the media, at the expense of the arts, journalism, documentaries. the rest of tv is poorer because of the tv execs attitude. 'a gap in the schedule? fuck it, put a match on. japan v gambia- that will do, theyll watch anything with a football in it' |

Exactly
football isn't really a sport at all....no more than WCW is anyway....bare with me
The vast majority of 'football fans' don't actually play and just watch it. The percentage of people who actually kick a ball must be minuscule
Ergo football=WCW=entertainment
My things are snowboarding skateboarding and surfing....I suspect that of those that watch these things on TV the vast majority participate
I have watched skaters take big hits, break bones, dust em selves off and carry on....it's a badge of honor not to whinge when hurt...a lot more hardcore than football plus more popular round the world too I suspect...
Footballers seem to roll around in agony at the slightest little tap lol
Although I guess that's just cheating
Anyway
Carry on
I will probably watch some of the 'sports entertainment' if I'm bored

I hate soaps, tv 'talent' shows and 'reality' shows. I also don't like most televised sports.
I don't watch it. Problem solved.
As for it shifting the slots of things I do want to watch, I record what I do want to see and watch it when I want to watch it.
Simple. |

I dont think skateboards, surfing, snowboarding etc all put together come anywhere nr as popular in numbers as football fans. Football is also played around the world.
Yes footballs will throw themselves around, but not all of them. Cheating happens in most sports, at all levels.
Ive also seen footballers get up, dust themselves off and carry on, Ive also seen them given emergency treatment on the pitch and stretchered off to hospital.
Football is still a sport, it always will be, its also a business bit like skaters who sell video games, boards and open skate parks. |

The majority of this country are not football fans, and resent our programmes being shuffled, postponed or cancelled in order to watch 22 men kick a ball around. and why do they stretch a 90 min game to make a 3 hr show?
pre match inter_iew can be condensed to, 'well brian, we need to score more goals than them' post match - 'well brian, we need to score more goals in the next one to'. end of analysis, now put a good film on. |

you ave just said that every man at your work is talking about the football and that tv stations will put the football on to fill a gap because they know its a ratings winner...i think that the majority of people are football fans.
I know as a rugby fan i am in the minority of the friends i have, both male and female. |

Considering most of the games are gonna be played late in the evening, we're not really that arsed about seeing them. Considering the usual mania that surrounds England and a World Cup, I think this one seems to have sneaked in under the radar really. |

I thought it was all at stupid o clock but it seems not.
There are a lot of 5pm, 6pm, 8pm and 9pm kick offs.
If England start with a win vs Italy it wont be under the radar anymore.
I agree though the hype this time is lower, thats because for once, at the moment, expectations are lower and sensible. |

Whats wrong is peoples assumptions about non sports fans (like your assumption that i think im above them). but when i try to steer a conversation away from sport it USUALLY falls on deaf ears. i am lucky in that my family and friends either understand or are in the same boat. by all means run, jump, punch, kick and throw or watch people do it. just dont be so suprised that we dont all enjoy it. |

Nope Im not interested, I wasnt asking you.

How about change channel, read a book, cook summat or go to the gym? Instead of living your life next to the TV. |

Stay off the sports pages in the paper.
Don't watch sport channels
Adverts? Oh no, not an advert. Anything but one of those! I mean I personally love all the PPI adverts, the ones about breakfast cereal, the ones about butter and the ones about cars but an advert about football? God forbid.
Stop bitching. |

You really don't get it do you? lol. Not as simple as saying lets score one more goal than the other team, football is a very intricate and tactical game, different formations, etc, so there is lots of analysis to be done when you break it all down. I think Brian Clough once said football is not a matter of life and death, its much more important than that. I very much doubt you will see the passion shown in the sport of fishing compare to the passion that the beautiful game known as football will easily generate. I know England don't have much chance of winning but hey the world cup is a festival of football celebrated by football fans all over the world (Yes once every 4 years), if you love football you want to see the best players in the world play, you want to see teams like Brazil, Spain and Argentina play. Now i hate the X Factor and Britains got talent and anything else with Simon Cowell in it but his face is always on the telly and there when you open a newspaper or a magazine these days and i've had to suffer over a decade of his programmes being on the telly every single year. My solution to this problem is simple,.....when X Factor is on or BGT is on i turn the channel over.
The world cup is once every 4 years now in comparison i wish Simon Cowell would only show his smug face on the telly once every 4 years, i would be happy, lol. |

Can't stand football and all the hype that surrounds it. And while im not alone in that _iew l realise an awful lot of people are passionate about it. The world cup, (in a similar way to the Olympics) is about a lot more than the individual matches and it should be covered extensively.
Personally it will probably pass me by and I'll be oblivious to most of it unless england do unexpectedly well. I generally don't watch ITV or BBC1 so it won't effect my TV _iewing. I get my news online so it won't particularly disrupt that. The pubs I go to tend to be music orientated but I guess there's a slight chance it could impact there... And hopefully some nights the gym will be quieter!
In all honesty if I got upset about my favourite TV being disrupted by tge World Cup I'd probably be asking some questions about what was lacking in my life rather than bemoaning the world cup.
The only real irritation are the unrealistic expectation of success and the delusion that England are still a significant team |

"Centaur...very good statement mate...it was bill shankley who said about life and football"
Ah got that one wrong then, Clough was very opinionated and came out with a lot of good stuff though, just looked up some Brian Clough gems...
1. On dealing with player disagreements "We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide i was right."
2. On aerial football..."If God wanted us to play football in the clouds he'd have put grass up there."
3.When i go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair."
4.On offside rule "If any of my players are not interfering with play, then they are not getting paid!"
5. "I would'nt say i was the best manager in the business, but i was in the top 1". |

Never watch it I switch over same with any of the other soaps that are on twice/thrice plus repeats 52 weeks a year. Do programs own a time slot? Naaa they don't they are just on early before the nans bedtimes. |

There isn't any real expectation this world cup to be honest,with the fans or media.
England are still a significant team though who on there day can beat any team in the world.I doubt that they would be able to do that consistently enough though to win a major tournament at the minute.

Good luck it will be everywhere. Each time a WC comes round the profile rises, due to the internet, facebook, twitter, digital radio stations, tv, catch up tv, you will be bombarded with it.
Dont take it personal, they are not aiming it at just you, the majority like it so they make you put up with as much or as little as you can handle for 3 whole weeks |

"... its like attending an orgy to cheer someone else on!
I'd watch that, as long as there weren't too many adverts.
Once the game of football kicks off, you dont get adverts until half time.
Top Tip: If you dont like adverts, put the game on just as it kicks off and go and do the dishes at half time.
As soon as it ends, change the channel.
Its one of the best things to watch if you dont like adverts - 45mins without a commercial break - thats not bad.
Its even better on the BBC"
Its adverts that kill tv If you have seen one advert you have seen it 10,000 times and along with all thee others it seems
even more to many repeats unfortuneately
its a pleasure to get away from them. |

"I have been sick of football for 29 years. I will be avoiding it like the plague! Oh come on its not contageous. "
What the obviously die-hard footie fans can't recognise, is that Football simply takes over everything in life, whether we want it or not!
A previous reply asked why all the fuss about an event that occurs once every 4 years? If only it was just that??? But it isn't!
It is an event sandwiched in between the end of one Football Season and the start of the next. It "invades" our TV, Radio and other media schedules, as if the Media powers that be believe we should accept wall to wall coverage???
Why can't it just be a simple case of one TV channel broadcasting all the matches, leaving the other channels to run normally and show options for those people not interested in football in the slightest.
Yes, it makes sense to have a passion in something you like, but not at a level where it takes over everything! |

If you put all the games on just one channel then I dont think you would generate as much money through adverts. You would need to employ less people too.
Its a good point though, it would allow you to avoid it. But then so does a tv remote. I dont think games will be shown on all terrestial channels at the same time, it'll be just the one in fact.
The BBC will no doubt be spending a few million pound broadcasting about it, bit like the olympics.
Hopefully this will go on and inspire a future generation too. |

"I have been sick of football for 29 years. I will be avoiding it like the plague! Oh come on its not contageous. "
Yes it is.
During a normal football season I never have to watch it or hear about it. It happens, but its on satellite TV and I can pass it by. Then every bloody two years (don't forget the Euro games) its on terrestrial TV, the news, the radio, the indents, in the pubs, on cars, billboards, and websites. I can't ignore it, ever! people say 'well turn the channel over', but to what? For a few weeks it is on TV, every channel. All. The. Time.
People say that BGT should be like that, or Baking programmes, and maybe it should. But I bet if Masterchef was on every night for a month people would soon complain. Actually, bad example that! |

By eck it is. BBc1 or ITV will have the game, not both. Other channels are available.
At 5.30 pm when I get home from work those two channels both have quiz shows on, half hour later they have the news. The football isnt that bad. |

Who was he?
The reason I picked News was an example of things saying the same thing but on other channels.
6pm - BBC1, Itv, Sky news, BBc news even frigging Al Jazerra telling us the same thing.
7pm - C4's turn.
If a game kicks off BBC1 at 6pm, put ITV on until approx 10pm because if ITV will show highlights (guess).

I think you have misunderstood me here, I wasnt trying to bash you for not liking football, just trying to explain why your gonna be bombarded with it whilst making comparisons to other programmes on tv.
I hope you understand that I havent asked you 'How can you not like it'.

Football is important, generates a lot of money, generates a lot for charities and whilst breaking peoples dreams, it makes others and gives them a positive outlook on life. Thats people within the game.
If it was a silly little game with no consequence it would of died by now, you may of missed the bit where I said 'Womens football is the fastest growing sport right now'. That tells us its still going strong.
Its never going to be everyones cup of tea, you just dont like it. It is that simple. |

Well, to be fair, football lovers have as much of a right as anyone else to post on this thread.
As much of a right, in fact, as football haters have to post on the football loving threads.
So, I'm hoping there will be no complaining when people who detest football post comments to that effect on future football related threads. Fair's fair, eh? |

" cant stand football, so I don't watch it simple ,
the trouble is everytime you open a paper turn on the telly you get arseholes talking about football or players ect,and all the frigging adverts ect, why cant they just put the games on but leave us all alone between games, im sick of hearing about it and it hasnt even started yet,
and as I understand it from previous yrs were frigging crap any way, why spend all that money when you know your not going to win
Stay off the sports pages in the paper.
Don't watch sport channels
Adverts? Oh no, not an advert. Anything but one of those! I mean I personally love all the PPI adverts, the ones about breakfast cereal, the ones about butter and the ones about cars but an advert about football? God forbid.
Stop bitching.
ha ha , that's one thing I like about football ,you can joke and take the piss out of most things and most accept it as a bit of fun ,, but as soon as you bad mouth football you lot get all wound up and throw your toys out of your pram trying to defend your beloved game , and sorry I love winding you lot up, hee hee"
Personally, as a football fan, I'm not wound up. Probably safe to say it's the most popular sport in this country. No need to defend it as like it or loathe it, it's here to stay. |

Not wound up here, just enjoying the debate of it from most who have contributed.
There was another programme on Brazil and Football last night and its more than just a game to them aswell, its truly part of their culture.
Its a bit like cricket in India.
I remember the last world cup when The Uk was gripped in reccession and people say if England did well it would be a real lift.
In regards to not posting in this thread, go back to the top and have a look, it didnt last long, start another thread and mark it Football Haters Only for eg

"So what you're insinuating is the guy will like all the dancey stuff bright colours because he must be a bit gay for not liking football? "
No.
You can join in, watch the WC and not even see a ball being kicked.
They will put on a hell of a show in Brazil.
If you have a picture of a Unicorn/Rainbow on ya wall then your going to be gay (tongue in cheek) |

"Where do gay footballers fit in your theory? Most proffesinal players only went pro at the idea of sharing a bath with 10 other men. Probably."
They don't.
Thats only because I havent mentioned it, someone above suggested I instigated something about gays because I mentioned to the lady who posted to watch the opening ceromony due to the dancing and bright colours that will be on display.
While we are on the subject of gay footballers my opinion of them is they shouldnt be treated any differntly to other footballers, black, white, gay, transexual, straight, their all footballers.
One thing that seems to be left out from this thread is reasons why 'Football is shit', genuine reasons, call them facts if you like. Mind listing your reasons.
I dont want to sound like an echo but I have no problem with people saying 'I dont like it'. |
