No, I'm not an avid fan. I am lukewarm at best. I do get ramped up for the WC, however. It's an engaging tournament every time.
I have no problem rating Futbol #1 in the world. I just use the wagering numbers. A simply staggering amount of money changes hands every week, year round. Juicy betting scandals are the norm, not the exception. It's an enormous business.
Great article, Bronco. Thank you for it.
I'm the same way. I get very excited for the World Cup or Euro Cup but otherwise, I am a casual fan at best. I would like more excitement to be part of the game. Some games can be very slow.
