I hate it when people compare the two. European Football, I mean Universal Football is just on a whole other level. People who don't like "Universal football" are the people who just watch random games (not following or supporting a club). If you watch it like this, then yeah you gonna find it boring.
If you wanna get the REAL FEEL of Football do this...
Support a club, choose one you like for whatever reasons. (If you're living in that set region then you should probably support that club, although this is not always the case) Choosing a club just because they are winning at the moment is actually a bad reason.
Do some background history on the club and the league. (Know whats going on)
Find out how the Leagues works, with the point system, goal difference etc.
Now you follow the League your club is in and root for it.
This will change your whole outlook on Football.
P.S. Don't be a FAKE supporter, meaning only choosing the club when it wins and when it doesn't moving on to another. Or randomly supporting a club, but you don't actually watch any games and you don't know what is really going on with the club or not knowing who's even playing for the club.
