If you’ve ever watched a UEFA Champions League tournament, the highly-rated competition that elite football clubs across Europe play, you would immediately fall in love with what you see.

To put the icing on the cake, football’s most prestigious tournament, the FIFA World Cup, which is the most popular and most-watched sporting event globally, comes with many emotions, reactions, and shared passion.

You can also be a part of the football lovers’ family, and all you need to do is follow a couple of simple steps.

Tips to Become Football Fan

Watching Football Matches 

One of the most straightforward ways to be a football fan is to start watching television games. There are hundreds of football matches played every year, and you can follow them by watching them from the comfort of your home.

The sport is played in different countries globally, and they are recognized in each country by their league’s name. 

For example, in Germany, their football league is called the German Bundesliga, and in France, it’s called the French Ligue 1. England calls theirs the English Premier League; the Italians say theirs is known as the Italian Serie A, while in Spain, it’s called the Spanish La Liga. These five leagues are known to be in the “Europe’s top 5 leagues” category, but there are other leagues in other countries even though they are not as popular as these five.

Each league has many teams competing for the league title, and you can choose a team from one or more leagues that you want to follow or support.

Watching the games will make you fall more in love with the sport, and you will also get more familiarized with it.

Learn The Game’s Rules

When you hear Americans say “soccer,” but then you hear Europeans and people in other settlements in the world say “football,” they’re talking about the same thing.

Knowing this will help you engage in friendly debates or arguments related to the sport, so you do not think a different topic is being discussed.

You also need to learn about the best players, and the easiest way you can do this is to browse through the different leagues. If you want to know the English Premier League’s best players, you can visit the league’s official website and check through their statistics and profile.

In the last decade, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the two players who have stood out among the rest, and they also have their names written in history books for their accomplishments and the trophies they’ve won.

While Ronaldo plies his trade with Juventus in the Italian Serie A, Messi is contracted to FC Barcelona. Different clubs have different star players, and once you start following them, knowing the players become easy.

Read Daily Football News 

Reading football news will not only make you get more familiar with the game, but you’ll also get to know players by their faces and names because you will find them in the news articles.

Once you can match a player’s face to their name, you would have already made remarkable progress, and you’ll find out that you want to know more.

There are several online platforms where you can read football news, including dailymail.co.uk, espnfc.com, and so on. To follow live match updates, you can always do that by visiting the Livescore website.

You Can Also Get Involved 

Getting actively involved is another one of the fastest ways to fall in love with football. This means that you need to pick a single club you will be supported in regardless of their games’ outcome.

For example, you can choose England’s Manchester United as your favorite club and keep supporting them through their thick and thin.

You can get a football banner showing your club’s logo, and trust me; you can’t imagine how proud you would be flying that banner in the air when they win a big game.

The football team banners you choose will also help you increase the love and affection you have for your club, and it can only get better from then on.

Learn To Talk About The Game

When you actively watch football games, you would indeed have things to say when having a football conversation. You can talk about team and player performances, player attitude, player transfers between clubs, match statistics and results, and so on.

Conclusion

There are several online groups and forums where football is the only talked-about topic. You can look for these groups so you can join and put your football knowledge to the test as well. You will also find people who support the same club as you, and it becomes even more fun by then. Have a nice time as you become a better football fan.

There was a need for a gardener previously to chop all the grasses and keep the garden in good shape, but now there are many tools available on retail as well as in online markets. For chopping, trimming, or mowing gardens, fields, and lawns, lawn mowers are widely used around the world. This tool makes sure that the grass is grown at a proper height.

We’re far enough into the season to discard the Heisman ballot categories and roll right into it because this is clearly a four person race now. Leonard Fournette fell off the face of the Earth after LSU imploded. Trevone Boykin and Baylor’s entire offense got hurt. Dalvin Cook…well, Dalvin Cook actually had a monster season but for some reason Heisman voters are reluctant to invite a Florida State standout who recently assaulted a woman…can’t imagine why. As for Navy’s Keenan Reynolds, voters who have railed against his candidacy have claimed the Heisman isn’t a “career achievement award,” and ESPN has agreed enough to pull him off their ballot completely:

I don’t know what to say anymore. Another December trip to Philadelphia, another heartbreaking loss to Navy. This has to be the most excruciating run in the history of college football. If I was a player at Army and had to accept SMU’s Death Penalty in exchange for beating Navy when we got football back I’d do it in less than a second. Check out what we wrote about Army’s last minute loss in 2011:

That was FIVE seasons ago! Take all of that misery and depression and futility…and add half a decade to it…that’s Army football in 2015. The seniors on this year’s Army team were in high school when we wrote that. That’s the program they inherited, and now they’re leaving West Point with an 0-4 mark against Navy like a decade of players before them. That is incomprehensibly brutal. Hire Chip Kelly or something, guys. This can’t continue.

We’re not doing a preview for every bowl game this year because we’re lazy, the Playoff has rendered most of these games even more pointless than they were, and once again, we’re lazy. Instead we’ll be rolling out Wager Wednesday style picks throughout the postseason so you can get slaughtered in your Bowl Pick Em Pool (if our Wager Wednesday performance this year is any indication). Here’s the first dose, covering all five game this Saturday…check back next week for more updates:

AUTO NATION CURE BOWL – ORLANDO, FL
GEORGIA STATE (+4) vs. SAN JOSE STATE: The first ever Cure Bowl gives us all the exciting chance to…ummm…see the newly renovated Orlando Citrus Bowl! So that’s something! Georgia State was 1-23 under Trent Miles entering the season and started their 2015 campaign 2-6, so it’s no small miracle that they’re even here. I’ll take the points for a team that hot. The Pick: Georgia State.

GILDAN NEW MEXICO BOWL – ALBUQUERQUE, NM
ARIZONA (-11.5) vs. NEW MEXICO: Last time Arizona played in the New Mexico Bowl they came back from a 21-0 deficit in one of the highest scoring, most entertaining games of the 2012 postseason. I don’t think they’re going to need that kind of last minute effort to knock off the Lobos. The line’s high enough to scare me, but in Rich Rod We Trust [vomits forever]. The Pick: Arizona. (more…)

It’s Christmas vacation and you’ve got better things to do than sit around reading snarky college football picks, but jussssttttt in case you’re still in the office this week we’re running through all of the December 23-29 bowl games in this week’s Wager Wednesday. We’ll be back next week with our picks for the remaining games and the College Football Playoff. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION POINSETTIA BOWL
BOISE STATE (-8) vs. NORTHERN ILLINOIS: The Broncos and Huskies meet in a battle of mid-majors that miss the BCS…give us the Broncs for old time’s sake. The Pick: Boise State.

GODADDY BOWL
GEORGIA SOUTHERN (+7.5) vs. BOWLING GREEN: The Georgia Southern offense is worth clicking over to ESPN, but they can’t keep up with the Falcons. The Pick: BGSU. (more…)
