You can really only tell during corner kicks of diagonal free kicks, but on a deeper level it takes being a fairly big fan to know what's up. NFL is full of strategy, because it's a series of set plays. Imagine football where it's a series of corner kicks lol.

but it is a simple sport.If someone first sits down and watches itm and doesnt know whats happening thats pretty much all you have to say for someone to watch it.theirs a few rules here and there youd have to say but thats pretty much it.they dont need to know any stragedy involved.They dont need to know every single scheme presented.Saying you just dont get it whens its a simple sport is just hilariously ignorant.Its like someone watching basketball,the object is to get the ball through the hoop.Thats the jist of it.They dont need to know how every single play works for someone to watch it.Saying you need to know how offensive plays work to enjoy basketball is just retarded.or saying you need to understand exactly how a nfl playbook works in order to enjoy watching it.its just plain dumb.

you're rooting for a team & the team's success; not how they get it done, just if they get it done.

I've never said that you need to know the plays or strategies to understand and like the sport. If you break down the object in every sport, it's all simple isn't it? I guess you're just talking about the objectives and I was referring more to strategy/formation/tactics/etc used.

Not all the time. In the World Cup, I'm only really rooting for Mexico, U.S., and Spain (I got them in a draw, so money reasons here lol). And I'm pretty sure we've all watched sports games where we're just watching to enjoy the game?

My comment was towards iran iz gangsta even I thought you were backing up what he was saying.I gave him the objective of the sport and he lauhged it off saying thats not the point of soccer LOL.Your the more level headed fan.Iran is just an idiot,one post hes saying he knows eveyrthing about the other sports then the next post hes clearly showing he knows nothing about the nfl.
