As an Eagles fan growing up, I didn't give one flying fuck about this game. I converted to real football after I moved to London in 2017 and watched the Eagles win their first Super Bowl six months later. Haven't watched an NFL game since. I thought "soccer" was a slow and boring sport when I was a kid. Silly American. I look back on my childhood and cringe at all the time I wasted watching short segments of games squeezed between long commercial breaks of ads for Budweiser, cars, etc. Now that my boy is playing it and excelling, I've fallen in even deeper love for football and learning its history, studying tactics, etc. Despite the corruption and dirty money surrounding it, it really is the world's most beautiful sport to watch at the pub with a pint or play with your kid.
