Why are the British so mad about football?

Footie, football, soccer - whatever you want to call it!

We're more passionate about the premiership than we are about politics - why?

Why are the British so mad about football?jerseys ,nba teams

BRITISH SO MAD FOOTBALL BECUASE FIRST CUNTRY PLAY FOOT BALL
We invented the game...
Escapism. Football is just entertainment, it's provides something to be involved in and to belong to. No worse than all the millions that tune into soap operas every night.
madfootball disease . Its a spin-off of the madcow disease .
Their footballers are more talented than their politicians.
It is a religion.
Everyone is mad about football!

They couldn't wait till the Fifa World Cup come!!!
because they love football
Because it's taken over from religion in our thankfully, secular, society. We all like to belong to some tribe or other and football provides the bond that holds thousands of like-minded people together. Plus you get to see 22 young men running round in shorts - what more could a girl want?
Well you got that wrong because i HATE it with a passion! I'm so lucky, neither my dad, brother or fiancee like it either!
it's a tribal thing, we all have our own team, and it means we can go down the boozer, have a few pints watch the game and hurl abuse at eachother. it brings the country together better than politics, religion or anything else!

also it breaks down social, racial and religious barriers; it's about the game, not the colour of your skin or your background.

although we are tarnshed by hooliganism, but nowhere near the worst. i think that football brings a nation together, even my mum watches the world cup.

and it'll prove that the greatest country in the world is..................brazil?????
I don't know but it does my head in. Saying that, the rest of the world seems to be under the misapprehenshion that we're stuck up snobs, so the footie thing kinda levels it out.
Just like the Americans are mad about their football 鈥?and they call it football even though they hit it with foot once in entire game!
I detest football and don't understand the obsession at all!
what else have they got going for them heheheheh...just kidding.

The people where I live are crazy about the world cup too and there's not even a team from the country going there (I don't think anyway...I'm not into soccer).

Who's cuter...Beckham or Blair...Who's got more money...Gerrard or Straw? Who participated in the last invasion on Iraq?
because it is fun to play and refreshes you and every body
Britishers have always know to be colonisers and fighters . The once ruled the entire world and have fighting instincts . Football lets them bring out their roudyness and thus they love playing it.

Thats the reason its getting so popular with the Bush ruled USA.
Politics sucks. Football is the best thing ever more important than life. All politicians are liars the country is in a mess and the good hardworking people are suffering. Football is a way to forget normal life its brill.
Because playing football is funny, relaxing in comparing with politics, where it's very boring and stupid! I don't like football like the British do like it, but I love to watch good football games, when it's worth to watch them!!!
the best sport and game in the world
because they are bloody strange....
Probabley because WE invented it !!! (but then the Brazillians perfected it)

We invented Rugby as well, but the yanks go spoil it by putting on all that padding and helmets (poofs) and calling it 'American FootBall' ...............ITS RUGBY WITH PADDING MATE !!!
This is like asking why people like boobs.

Or chocolate.

Cause it rocks. Pfft.
Not all of us like football!
Why are americans so mad about american football?????

because they haven't seen the sun in their life.
