My husband printed a time table of the coming World Cup today,and he even begin to bargin with me how long could he watch TV at night during the World Cup.He and his colleagues are so keen to discuss the result of every match,the sportsmen and the coach,so much topics can they talk of the world cup!Once he had told me that a referee even was shot in his country for black whistle after the match.Why a little ball can have so strong attaction to men?

When I was a child, I was not interested in watching soccer. I didn't understand why my dad loved to watch it. He even would stay up at night to watch the soccer games. Then later I tried to watch it and I could feel the charming of the World Cup. I started to like to watch it. It is very exciting to see your favorite team wins. I love China

Not only men, some women are also keen on the World Cup,too,for example,like me! :) I think football can bring your plenty of stimulation and passion when you watch it.You don't know which team will be the winner, and that increase the suspense.But there are lots of people who are not one hundred percent football fans in the World Cup.The World Cup can give them a splendid chance and reason to enjoy their life with their friends and relatives.They share happines with each other ,they have the same topic to talk about,that will be a very attractive and exciting thing!

That's true,my husband will get a lot of things to do during the World cup.Although I don't like very much but I can share his happiness and give him freedom to watch the match all night.Be with him and listening him to explain the match to me is my happiness.

Dear friend, I hope the main reasn would be that the players are men and the traditonal football to had men, they are much tactical and women as they are stronger in physically than women. Moreover football is also a talent, and the game is much speedy. It would be seen as like a war between two countries in the field of this game. I hope most people gets thrilled to see such events or sports as it is played with full spirit of game. Majority of men are involved in this game may I hope that would be main reason why men get addicted to world cup.

maybe as you have mentioned,the main reason is that football can push men's strong and talent and vitality to the extreme,other sports are limited to a small space and cannot have the same thrilling effect.

I got no interest with the world cup and soccer is not popular sport in our country. I don't think that all men watch sports like soccer. Instead, I'm addicted to chess and those lovely pieces.

soccer is not popular in your country?I have thought all the men and countries like the football before.Football is to the body and chess to the mind,i am inclined to the later for it's less aggressive.

I am a football fan myself. So I understand why men like football so much. I don't know how to express in words exactly. It's fun because it is like a battle with physical strength competition. I feel excited even thinking about playing or watching it.
