Poland lost to Finland yesterday 2:1 in the away match.
I've had it. I officially witdraw my interests from this sport and will treat it on par with swimming, ping pong, wall climbing and competitive fishing. It causes too much frustration and puts a man into bad mood. I don't enjoy watching this sport without being emotionally vested. Unfortunately, Poland's team doesn't cut it for me any more and then things like Spain vs Portugal or PSG vs Inter do not draw my attention any more. I am not sure why. I used to be different but It's been like that for too long.
Poland's team is a bunch of phaggot looking pussies who shit higher than they can see. They're too good to play in the polish league, but Finns who play in that league or 2nd Bundesliga and such still can win with them.
That's it for me.
Then there's the decline on the very sport valor... think it is rightfully called soccer because the way those athletes behave sucks ass. A little touch on a cheek they fall down as if hit by a thunderbolt. PUSSIES!
There's Football and soccer. Real men play football. Soccer is for ladies.
Aye mate, seen that, it was a bad one for sure.
I know what you are saying about losing interest. With me it is less about losing interest in NT, but the way modern football is - so much money, some players being hyped and 'stars' off the park before they do or achieve anything. All the cheating is annoying too - it never used to bother me but does now.
Plus, when you hit your forties, seeing players young enough to be your son just hits differently to when they were old enough to be your dad. Knowing that if you had been a player you'd be retired by now.
I don't even think it is specific to football; it's just getting older and tastes changing. I do still enjoy watching football, but I enjoy playing more. I also never thought I would say this but I think I love films more than football now too.
There's a few things keeping me invested though - I enjoy watching Barca and young Lamine. It's funny seeing Man United struggle (my most hated club). And I always love the party feel of international tournaments so looking forward to the World Cup starting in exactly a year (though it's diluted and convoluted with 48 teams).
But in general, yeah - I don't love watching football as much as I used to. I think the kids love it as much as we did 20-30 years ago though - we are just getting older now, lol. You're early 50s and I am early 40s.
