For me the culture of it, the singing coming from the fans along with the scarves raised or flares etc. And also the waiting for a goal to be scored, the missed chances, Goal Keeper's save. Like someone said earlier all you need is patience. Thank God Goals have are rare, so when a goal is scored your feelings can be expressed in. oooohhh the ecstasy & the agony.
If you cant handle watching Real Football then thats because you are a spectator rather than a supporter.
Watching American Football on the otherhand allows you to eat a hot dog. There is no flow ffs. Touchdowns are too common, that results in the supporter(s) expresses little feeling unless its an important touchdown.

Futbol! Doesn't get better than the world cup! I used to play all the time. I used to be pretty good. I use past tense because who knows if I'm still as good as I was.
I've never been able to understand Football... I guess that's just my roots peeking through. Can't understand why men want to wear tight clothes and constantly bash into each other to move a grand total of two feet and a shitload of pain? Damn Americans...
Real football (soccer).
It's the national sport in the countries of Europe and so we have a football culture. Since we are kids our parents joined us to a football team and then you watched the matches on the TV every Saturday's night. American football it's not popular here. There is an european american football league but I suppose it's the second league of the NFL in USA so not comparisable with the NFL.

For everyone who calls American football boring, absolutely nothing is more boring than watching the f---ing Italian soccer teams play to a 1-0 win.
It's all about rugby.

F O O T B A L L is our worldy sport where people use feet and hand's are not allowed, it is played by people from Brazil to Saudi Arabia to Aruba to The bleak place that is Scotland
American Football is just an ego trip for men who like to dress up in stupid padding & kits and helmets and throw a ball, it's as much a sport as Masturbation, and is just like Baseball which is a poor mans cricket, only Basketball being a sport played bigtime in america is worth watching, plus ice-hockey which is just brutal fun (well playing nhl games from ea sports makes it that )

I love soccer. (AFC AJAX)
I only watch NFL on TV.
What I was wondering, in europe every soccer club has his owh group of fanatic hooligans. Does the NFL in the states have that to?

Yeah, i love the N.B.A. and college basketball.
Never watch American Football, not because i don't like it but they just don't play this on television.
Champions league football is very cool.

cricket is the best its basically the only sport i can watch. watching aus own england is always fun D jk
watchin rugby when the world cup was on, was fun too.
cant stand AFL (aussie rules footy) bunch of pretty boys on a field, although NFL seems to be more pansy like than AFL. at least they dont wear armor/padding i suppose.
anyway back to the question.. soccer or nfl? neither, never watch any of them so i wouldnt know
Damn Americans...
