if you know how to play, you can shout with more feeling!

Not necessarily laa... u can't judge a football fans value by his or her football skills... that just doesnt seem right.. Allegiance and support to the club are the most important..

Maybe it isn't as common as we would like to think but you'd be surprised how much common sense can help one to understand the game even if they don't play it. I play basketball, I go to the gym and I've played Futsal competitively, once facing our national team. Does this make me better at judging fitness levels than say a person who only plays football for fun?

Is it any wonder that a lot of the good posters here don't play? What you see one the pitch is just one aspect of the game. Technique and fitness are important aspects of a player but what about other stuff like club management? One doesn't need to be a player to understand that.

the answer is no....A F1 fan not neccessary need to know how to drive also rite.

it's like tuf tard watching UFC and started screaming "cekik la bodo"

i know the sentiment

i played football.but just as a leisure workout

need to know how to play winning eleven or fifa decently..or management sim like championship manager the least...
