I understand that the game enjoys a small amount of popularity in Australia but I'm no fan myself. That said, you will find many a kindred spirit in Aus, just go and watch an AFL Grand Final or State of Origin Final. We get it.
Enjoy your match.
I don't care about sports and I care even less about American Football as a Canadian.
I do however like to see the funny ads that come with the Superbowl!

You mean staying up from 01:00 AM to 05:00 to watch men jump around at eachother in armored suits?
No thanks...

Not really, it's not as if it's the world cup or something... it's like asking an American whether he'll be watching the six nations.Canid117 said:
Cause soccer is far more strategically demanding, requires more technique and finesse, and the goals actually feel amazing when your team is scoring because they don't happen that much, which is a good thing.ThongBonerstorm said:
The reason American's try to make out soccer to be boring is because they are not the best at it, the U.S. tends to enjoy the sports they rock in a lot more, which is why they had to invite a few, also, a country that calls an annual sporting event in which only two countries bother taking part at the "World Series" doesn't get to talk trash about foreign sports by default.
PS: Soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world, literally everybody realized it's the best sport except you guys.
I know people who care about the Super Bowl in Australia - but most of us don't. Australians love rugby, and while it's similar to American Football, it's not the same. Plus, most of us don't know the team histories, the state rivalries, the player names or the rules to the game. Also, if you don't have cable, you can't watch it. And if you do have cable, it's hidden away on one of the sports channels, because they know most Australians don't care.
Also, time zone difference - our night is your day.

The only sports I watch are the European and World Soccer(football) cups. I don't give half a crap for the American type of football. (I don't really give half a crap for America either. Go Europe! Go!)
Why has this thread changed from "Will you watch the Superbowl?" to "Can you please spew sarcasm and bile at football?"
I am Australian, and "watched" it if turning the TV on and sitting at my computer which faces away from the TV counts. Occasionally I glanced at it, and on a couple of occasions I got up to get a closer look at a replay of something. Way too much nothing in grid iron for my liking though.
I don't really care for sports in general, and I must admit that I haven't ever watched a single game of American football.
But I know that the Super Bowl has gotten somewhat of a cult following here in Denmark (as well as other European countries I'm sure) over the past few years, partly due to the fact that you have to stay up all night to watch it.
I remember a lot of my high school friends showing up in school looking like crap because they hadn't slept at all. I think staying up with your friends and yelling at the TV screen was the main attraction though, I don't think any of them really cared about the game.
