A good point, yes. But I think the reason I enjoy football so much is because I lived and breathed it as a kid and growing up. The decent knowledge I have of football is why I love it so much. I just find it hard to be into a sport like Cricket (even if I have a small grasp of the rules) and feel like I've missed out on 15-20 years of it that I can't relate to.
