Colin,

I have played soccer for over 23 years. When you play the game you understand it better. Many of the European and South American countries do not have American Football, Baseball (although becoming more popular in South America), or Basketball.

So just about everyone there lives and plays soccer/Futbol. I would give that as a main reason why so many people in those countries go nuts for the game.

Back to why I enjoy it so much... This goes back to my understanding of the game. I know what it takes to do some of the things that these guys do. And to have at any moment someone has the ability to make an amazing play and do something that defies the laws of physics and gravity.

That is the Allure for me.
