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

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?

Yeah, but even though you personally don't care sometimes, something inside of everybody forces you to want one team to win.
Like I could turn on a Dodgers/Giants game to watch a Kershaw/Lincecum match-up & I could care less who wins honestly, I just want to see some great pitching; but something indescribable inside would make me want to see the Giants win the game or vice-versa; just an example.

Anybody seen the screw job highlight that happened to the usa? I don't give 2 shits about soccer but that's just another reason 2 hate it & boycott it. 3 usa players being held on their 3rd goal but a penalty was callled on the usa instead of the other team :o >:( I'm not sure if holding is legal in soccer. And 1 of the main reasons to boycott soccer will be shown on tuesday 30 for 30. The 2 escobars, tragedy for 1 of them :(
It had 2 do with usa's win in 1994 where colombia players were under severe pressure to win, as in win or else someone might get murdered. Sadly Andres Escobar accidentally kicked the ball into his own team's net & the usa won. Days later in colombia a group of people went up to him & chanted,'THANKS FOR THE AUTO GOAL!' & shot him dead, chanting 'GOAL' every time they shot him. I take football very seriously but not to this extreme. Drug dealers bet on the game, 1 fool bet up to 10 million on the game. I look at it in 2 ways here.
1. If you bet $10million on a soccer game you deserve to lose.
2. If I bet $10million on a game & somebody bothces it up & I lose, ida filled the player full of lead too.
Nutty:
Alot of draws at this WC. Some good games though, hoping for better at knockout stage. Englands disappointing.
