You'd love it even more then if you support your local club. Imagine seeing them beat the champions of your county after a player who was playing non-league football a few years before, nutmeg 2 players before blasting it into the top corner. You might even know that player. I know a couple of people who love seeing their friends score goals at professional level.
I would actually support a local club is corruption wasn't so rift in the sport over here, not in the actual matches but in the upbringing of the players, to make it into football isn't anything about how good you are or how determined you are to get to the top, it's about who your dad's friends with, plus plus they never let players go abroad, let the good players good abroad for fuck's sake, improve even more as players, might improve our national team and in the long run they can come back and teach the next generation all the new things they've learnt abroad in places like Germany and England.
Plus the government's funding is shit, 5th richest country in the world and not nearly enough is invested into the sport of the country.
The fanbase is there, the talent is there, the will is there.
Corruption is bad in England as well you know... The big premier league teams have been bribing all of the lower league clubs to agree to things which will only benefit the premier league clubs. The lower league clubs want to disagree but can't because the premier league clubs are threatening to stop things. English players rarely move abroad either because the money is so much over here and it is affecting our national team greatly. We may have the most foreigners in our top division but that only pushes potential stars towards grass roots football.

This is what most gloryhunters don't understand. They think that football is more about tactics then it is about having fun. I've heard plenty of good and funny stories about football days and not many of them have been about the game itself. Most of them are to do with not even entering the ground because of various reasons. I've heard of people selling their ticket to watch it in a pub with mates who had travelled a long distance without one and being too drunk to enter the ground.
Its none of your business to tell anyone what football is about, its different to everyone. If its more about fun at the game to you then thats fine, but if tactics and stuff interest others more then its their decision.
I'm only trying to make that experience better and stop the inevitable death of football.
I like tactics and stuff as well as I like to copy them onto my games but it still doesn't compare to how fun football is when you pay less attention to the playing side and more attention to the social and fun side.
