Does football still do it for You?

It's the same for me.
Football is no longer the default sport these days.
If I am about I will make the effort to watch the City but I now longer go out of my way.
Don't bother with matches on the tv and the whole Champions League/ international football leaves me cold these days.
On the other hand I am watching more and more rugby and cricket will take up a fair proportion of my summer sport watching.
Factor in I am doing two tennis grand slams and the World Athletic championships and football is very much taking a back seat.
Each unto their own but it's more of a Luke warm interest these days.

I think your right for those who witnessed the 70/80'sport today's game is sterile, you get the odd classic, clubs are so strangled by commercial failure mass attendances at affordable prices is not there, therefore grounds have less intensity and edgy atmosphere, which reflects on less passion and effort on the field .
