Does anyone else think the Olympics is more enjoyable than the FIFA World Cup, and with a more relaxed ?

Question

family atmosphere. You don't get the drinking and agression from the spectators.

Answer 1

Football is probably the finest, simplest and most beautiful sport the world has ever known. The aim is simple, but getting the ball in the net can be fiendishly difficult, and some of those who play it are artists in my eyes.

Maybe only 32 teams go to the finals, but virtually the entire world initially attempts to qualify to get there.

The Olympics and the World Cup don't stand comparison. They are something completely different, but I enjoy the Olympics too, even some of the more obscure sports we never see, and the great characters down the years like Eric the Eel and Eddie the Eagle Edwards. who had no hope of winning and despite coming last, were true winners.

Answer 2

I can't stand football and even though I'm proud to be English, it doesn't do the country and favours so I'm glad they didn't make it to Europe. The whole game has been taken over by their chavy wags that the media is trying to make all young girls want to be like, instead of interesting and intelligent people.

Answer 3

The olympics is probably more relaxed and family-oriented but the world cup is far more enjoyable.

Answer 4

FIFA World Cup is c**p.

Answer 5

Football is a passionate sport and sometimes emotion gets the better of people but these days its very family friendly and at the world cup security is extremely tight. When I was a boy (25 years ago) fighting between fans made going to the football very dangerous indeed but now I wouldn't even hesitate to take my young boys to any football match.

I tried to go to the olympics but the cost was emourmous. I decided to pay the money and go anyway but getting tickets was almost impossible and even then I couldnt get a visa. In the end I just gave up.

So in summary I would rather go to the footie and watch the olympics on the telly.

Answer 6
