The World Cup has gotten under way in South Africa and there is no better sporting event in the world. My favorite part of watching the World Cup on satellite television is the fans. Soccer fans are some of the most passionate fans in the world. This passion is amplified when it is time for the World Cup. The way that the fans of many countries will sing and dance during an entire soccer match is nothing short of amazing, and really helps get me excited for the game as well.
In addition to seeing the spectators going crazy and really getting into the action the tournament format of the World Cup also adds the excitement. Unlike an 82 game season with other sports the tournament format of the World Cup creates an urgent atmosphere to win all of your games starting with the first match. If your team is unlucky enough to lose that first qualifying round match their chances are greatly diminished of making it to the knockout round. Having this extra pressure on the players to win at all costs creates an exciting atmosphere, which makes the World Cup one of the best sporting events.
it's even more exciting if you watch it live...I got a chance to watch a soccer match...it's a league here in Singapore where my company sponsored a French team :) it's a lot of fun,,,,more so with World Cup....Viva Espana!!! hope they win this year's cup :)
