I guess you're right it has to do with age. Although my uncle, in his 70s, is still crazy about it though and couldn't understand why I choose to go on a bike ride instead of watching Portugal vs Spain. I've lost the appreciation for the sport itself. For esthetical value, I do prefer to watch track and field competitions, swimming, I think, l like tennis better too.
Yesterday's match was the last straw. I felt nauseated seeing those punks thanking the fans after the loss. Then Lewandowski "drama" is a laughing stock...I mean I need to distance myself from all this shit and take care of my own hobbies. Like maybe go back to shape and train for a triathlon or sign up year for tour de devide bike ride...
Yeah some guys, the love never leaves them no matter how old they get - whether it is football or something other than football. It might dissipate for a whil,e but it always comes back.
I am starting to enjoy track and field and swimming a lot too. I wanna get more into volleyball as well. The athletics and swimming world championships are coming up soon.
That's why I told you a while ago you shouldn't get invested in Lewa (or any other player) just because they are the same nationality. Lewa always seemed quite selfish to me (I am good at reading people) and he doesn't really care about the Polish NT I don't think. He will always put his own legacy and numbers above the team, like Ronaldo does.
If you feel like you wanna get back to the gym (I have been doing cardio there recently) and train and get in shape, then you should. Try not to put your happiness in the hands of footballers who couldn't care less about us.
As
@Messi983 was saying when we had the nationality debate a while ago, there's no real reflected glory in a person doing well in sport and us being the same nationality. Even at club level - it's great when your team wins, but ultimately these guys don't care about us and are so far removed from us in wealth etc. It has always been this way but at least back in the day players earned a lot less and bought pubs after retirement and drank with fans. What do fans possibly have in common with players now? Many players become rich as fuck and forget where they came from, their impoverished roots.
If you think about it, football fandom as a whole is a bit mad. Following multi-millionaires and hoping they do well at their jobs and win stuff that we don't have a part in on the pitch.
