Where would you prefer to watch your favorite team?

[Oilacris]

Some people would love to watch their favorite team at home with their family, some at a bar while their are others who would love to go to a viewing center. I come from a family where football is appreciated but currently they would prefer to go about their daily activities instead of joining me to watch our favorite team play. We all know how boring it could be watching football alone, their is this joy when you communicate and Analyze the game with people who have good knowledge about football so  sometimes instead being bored from watching live football alone at home, I would rather go to a bar or viewing center, the viewing center especially cause it's funny how different fans argue about sports and make fun of the rival teams at the sports viewing center. That is the fun of football asides the players playing on the pitch, the argument, discussion and expectations from various fans in a bar or viewing center makes it more entertaining and interesting.

Depends on my mood and depends on the venue on which if i do feel out on liking to see other people in together watching a match and would be making out some bets then i would really be definitely be going into those bars or viewing center on which you could really be able to fell up the thrill in between fans which betting to each other in regarding on whose gonna win. We cant really be able to deny that there's really that excitement that you could really be able to experience and felt unlike when you are watching in front of your own computer on which its really that boring but there are really times or moments on which you would really be definitely be liking on doing such stuff on which there are times that you wouldnt really be liking on going into those public places.
This is why i have said earlier that it would really be just that depending on the mood i do have into that particular condition or moment.

My preferance - family? No. a bar? Defenitely? A viewing center? I don't know what this means. Do you mean like at the football stadium? My preference is at a bar because it brings out my inner energy, and a lot of it. Imagine this, having a very chilled bottle of your favourite brand of beer, mine is Heinken in your favourite bar with a bunch of crazy football enthusiast while your favourite team is playing.  It is a mini stadium for me and you can beat it. I will fall asleep if I watch my favourite in with my family.

Now that it is a favorite match, watching sports at home and then inviting many friends who already understand the ball, it will be more exciting with a party of some food that has been provided beforehand.

Watching at home feels more comfortable than at a bar or something else.
Because the matches for my zone are always at midnight, it's even more lazy to leave the house at midnight, which is the main reason why I no longer watch at bars like most people.

Now that I've gathered to watch the UCL match, I think watching with friends is just as exciting as at the bar.

It doesn’t really matter much to me as long as I’m not watching the game alone. It’s more interesting when there are people around who love football as well. The arguments, banter and jokes makes the whole experience fun. I’m currently watching the champions league game from home with family, the house is spilt between Manchester City and Real Madrid. Everyone is cheering their team on and want the opportunity to rub their victory on the faces of the rest of the family.

Funny enough, the troubles that comes with going to viewing centers and the dangers as well are been over looked and that’s simply because of the fun and excitement as well as the pleasures that comes with it.
I agree with op that, I would personally prefer to watch these matches outside, maybe in viewing center or maybe a bar as most times, it might not be the games that spark excitement but the argument from defending teams.

There is no doubt that viewing matches at the viewing center have it's disadvantage, the noise from fans which could make on miss out on important commentarys and half time analysis, the distraction like when some fans argue blindly and make you miss out on important scenes of the match all those are things that makes some people decide to stay at home to view matches. But then let's not forget the fun part as well, the pleasure  like you stated and even the expression of excitement from passionate fans when their teams scores, only the loud noise of goalllll and warm embrace an handshakes amongst fans makes it very interesting. However based on security I won't visit viewing centers I have not been to or those that are in an unfriendly or unsafe environment.

I guess it depends on the situation and the number of people I'm watching it with.  If I'm alone I'll probably watch at home, but occasionally may be at a bar as well.  If I'm with one person then of course I'd rather be watching it live and sharing the experience with a loved one.  If there's 3 of us then live is an option still, but the bar becomes more appealing as does watching it at home.  4+ people and live starts to be less fun and home or the bar becomes a better option for me.  Money is a bit of a factor as well so I guess when it comes down to it, the more people you have the less live watching becomes affordable, then the bar, and finally you can always have a dozen people over to your house to eat ramen if you're a Bitcoiner. 

[wheelz1200]

It depends.  I'm a football, baseball and basketball fan.  So for regular season games I like to be home.  If the game isn't going all that well I can just turn it off.  In terms of playoffs I like to watch around another group of fans of the same team.  Nothing like getting hyped with other people, and as long as tickets aren't that much be at the game.  Problem is being there is costly I don't like getting terrible seats.  If that's the case I'd rather just watch on tv.

Am the type that doesn’t like disturbance whenever am watching football, if I can visit a viewing center to watch match, I do get distracted due to people’s noise, so whenever am watching football, I prefer doing that at the comfort of my house, nobody to disturb me. Some people prefer watching football at viewing center just because of argument, they will want to make argument whenever they are watching football, they are not always comfortable whenever they are alone, and some prefer to be drinking and discussing about the match.

We all have this level we love football to some extent, some people can stay a day without eating when there favorite team lose, some people feel disappointed for that moment and then continue and there people that don't feel anything at all, they forget about everything the moment that chapter closes so I don't think everyone would want to watch ball with you all the time because you always make time for yourself. There work place might be demanding time as well.

As for me, I can watch ball alone be it on my phone, laptop or in TV depending on my mood, I don't like going to a public ball house because the maintaining culture here is very poor, not well maintained like th and they have this way of stealing phones in such places if you're not careful enough. Not everyone that do came to watch ball actually has the intention of watching ball, they do have another agenda.

How will you know the ones that are not safe and are not unfriendly?
Just thinking out loud i guess.
Whatever the case might be, I think where to watch a game is dependent on several factors and just as a user also pointed out, I think most cases, we’re left with some uncontrollable situations and since the game we want to watch might be very important, we might be left with no other option but to watch our favorite games in places we never budgeted m, let’s take for instance, a situation where you went for a job outside and maybe due to traffic couldn’t meet up getting to a viewing center or even getting home, I think at that point, one might be left with no other option than watch the match from their phone by streaming it and this is a typical example of situations that might leave you watching your games from a different location.

I'm using my favorite tv box at home, because it's very convenient to watch and analyze a good standing for gambling. Mobile viewing is only limited, we should find comfort for our entertainment and gambling as well as learning the capabilities of each team in football. Western countries football popularity has been growing interest not just in their continent but also for Asian footbal players and fans who developed more interest of this game.

No lie, you will enjoy a football match if you watch it in a crowdy place, the excitement is always there, but I have a problem doing it because of what have happened in my country at viewing centre in different states, it is more safer to watch games in your house and if you miss the excitement of watch football with others you can invite your friends or watch the football with your family.

Some people don't like having people around them when watching sports games, I think such peolpe are used to such lifestyle already, and this still won't stop them from enjoying the game anyway, the choice is yours to make, just make sure you choose safety first.
Do not forget that some people takes football too important, they can starve themselves because of football and they can also lose their senses because of football, which is why fights do broke out in many viewing centres.

Everyone as different perspective concerning this cause it's depending on how they enjoy it or have fun from it,for me I prefer watching from viewing centers or bar cause the shared ideas, communication,the arguments, quarrels and all that is a lot fun you know,and sitting back at home by urself watching won't be fun.

Sometimes I and my guys when they come around we watch, taking some drinks to support our teems and enjoying the game,that's what make it exciting,so it's best watched in a circle of of people with like minds or rivals so everyone will be in the go like wanting to do this and that...

Here in my country Boxing, Basketball and MMA I think is the most common sports wherein people are on their watchlist and we prefer to watch it at home with our family, friends and relatives. But since most of us has access to the internet on mobile phones things could be different since we can watch it in the bedroom alone.

To watch my favorite team, I prefer to watch it alone at home rather than in public places, because I don't want to argue with other fans regarding my favorite team. But if it's watching big matches like the UCL semi-finals and finals, I prefer to watch them in public places, just like you I like to see debates between fans of the two clubs that are competing.

For example, the live match between Manchester City - Real Madrid, I watched it in a public place (traditional coffee shop), I saw how Real Madrid fans made fun of Manchester City fans right after Rodrygo scored a goal. It gives off an expensive atmosphere that's hard to forget.

Seems like we're on the same country mate! Boxing and basketball is the famous and common sports in our country as well and sometimes we tend to watch inside our house together with our family members or sometimes by solo watching it especially if the match is kinda intense. Especially now that I'm at an age where I don't want to go out of the house anymore unlike before that I'm active in going out and do some things outside the house,  unless there's something important to do, I prefer doing the convenient things nowadays because it saves a lot of time and another thing, everything is now easy to find with the help of the digital internet.

As an individual living in an environment, you're in the best position to know of how safe the environment you live in is, and if you're a person that lives in a place that's not very secured then  you should know that visiting the viewing center in that area is not okay and at your own risk, therefore avoid going there. I don't expect you to choose fun and excitement over your safety that would be very unwise.

 In a case where you couldn't go to a viewing center to see a match, due to some circumstances that you mentioned then streaming the match online with you phone is not a bad idea, there's no rule against that, moreover everyone have their choice to make, there are some people who love their comfort and stay at home to view matches and others who don't mind going to the viewing center and still some individuals who don't mind viewing with their devices.

Normally watching football when you have people around you use to be very interesting and it comes with a memory that you may never forget. I will prefer to watch in a viewing centre during the day but if it is a game that is being played in towards evening period I will prefer to be in my house and watch. Watching football from my own has never been a problem to me though, what I'm just concentrating on is the performance of my team . What makes football interesting is if my team is doing well in the game. Watching alone or watching with people is not what really makes me to enjoy football,  instead the performance of the team.

Excalty, i used to enjoy viewing football matches with my family at home, I love it when we argue and talk about our favorite players when they're performing well, but with time everyone became very busy and watching it alone became boring which prompted me to try watching outside my house and I enjoyed it, cause it brought back that old memories of the fun i caught watching it together with my family. I like the fact that you're very security conscious and would prefer to watch matches in the viewing center during the day times than night. Anyways watching alone is not really a big deal if your club is performing very well but it could be so frustrating if your team is on the losing side, sometimes you'll see people getting so sad an emotional when there's no one to console them. Well everyone have their opinion about this there are some people who go to the viewing center to mock fans of other teams when they're not doing well and that's the fun of it too.

Do not forget that some people takes football too important, they can starve themselves because of football and they can also lose their senses because of football, which is why fights do broke out in many viewing centres.

It is common for a big club to play and even the most fanatical fans will heat up the stands at every game.

There have been many dark incidents about football fans who clashed and eventually caused many casualties.
It's just for the sake of ego about who is better, who is superior in the game, but they forget about their own safety.

Have experienced tremendous euphoria when watching live, and it's an experience that cannot be replaced by watching on screen.

But if I associated with a gambling bet, I would rather watch in front of the television while placing a bet for my favorite club, it would be safer.
