    I once was a soccer fan. Spent hours watching on TV and going to the Stadium. I watched every single game of the USA world cup when I was little. I used to support my local team, went to the stadium even by -8°C once. But all this has turned to a farce. Billions of money spent by Brazil while starving children will not be allowed to come close to the stadiums (security!). Billions spent by Qatar to host a world cup while I could alone win against their national team. Billions spent by rich people, whom we do not know how they got all that money from, to build "teams" where one player is jealous of the other's salary - Oh, I am only earning 10€ every time I breathe. X| This is shocking. Soccer is rotten. FIFA/UEFA is a bunch of corrupt nababs. No way we can call that sport anymore, this time is long gone.

        I, like you, used to be an avid Football fan. I used to have a season ticket, went to all the home matches, some away matches, watched any footy match on TV whoever it was. Then I don't know, I just got bored of all the shameful cheating, play acting, over hyped players and immature behaviour of most 'professional' footballers. I now, generally only watch the 'good' teams (Real Madrid, Barcelona etc) and now like to spend my few free hours watching Cricket - much more of a man's game.

            I'm going to support any law that prevents the looting of cultural heritage[^]. In Jordan there is a Necropolis overlooking the dead sea, 100,000s of individuals buried there and because of the dry climate and salty air lots of organic material preserved, including cloth (really rare - parts of the site pre-date Israel 1.0). When I first visited Jordan, the surface was flat and undisturbed. Now it looks like it has been pounded by a meteorite shower, you can field-walk and find bits of human, cloth and splinters of wooden items all, needless to add, invaluable in their context but near worthless when disturbed. As for the footba' I'm a Scotland supporter: I support any team that England is playing so the whole mummer's farce is ended as soon as possible

              In England football is a far more honest game below the Premiership. It's not most professional footballers, but it is unfortunately most of the ones playing at the top end of the game. Last time Derby were in the Prem we were terrible, worst team in history, the top teams could beat us without even trying, yet still they cheating, dived, chased the referee, argued every decision. They just couldn't help themselves. Even just the one division lower things are far, far more honest.

              Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                      At least we got to book one at all ;) (It's a pretty difficult group this time. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we make it to the knockout stages.)

                                    Are you Scottish? I thought you were a Geordie.

                                    I am a Geordie, but hate football with a passion, the sooner the nonsense is over the better IMO. This pretty much nails Geordie vs English[^] thing, everyone I know from round here supports England, but many think they have more in common with folk north of the border than the rest of England without actually considering themselves Scots.I do know people who would vote to move the People's Republic of Tyneside and its environs into Scotland.

                                        I am going to support the referees.
