Football... I have a strange mixture of feelings about this sport / mass phenomenon.
On one hand, I ignore it most of the time.
On the other hand, it turns out competitions like the World Cup, but also occasionally other good games fire me up too.
If we were to look at 
Are there so many steemians glued to their TVs? There are more or less 6 hours of football every day during the group stages of the World Cup. 6 hours... that's a lot!
Or maybe Steem's price played a big role in this context too? Some are simply waiting for Steem's price to recover. Usually, I believe that's a mistake since these moves are generally sudden, and payout delayed by 7 days, but everyone interprets it as they wish. I simply continue to write, as much as I can, daily.
Yesterday played Germany and Brazil. Hmm, anyone had different expectations? Maybe next round will be better for many of the favorite teams which didn't seem very convincing on their debuts. Don't get me wrong, I usually side with the little teams in an uneven game, so I enjoyed yesterday's match ups! On the other hand, their objective is also small, so I want to big teams to move forward, because they won't get cold feet and the match-ups might be more balanced after the groups stage.
Here I am talking about football while I think there's a game on right now. I'd better rush it then. Nah, just kidding, I'm in no hurry, but really, I ventured on a topic where I started to find my words with difficulty, at this point. Hmm, I think I'd make a terrible (as in the worsed) sports commentator.
