I'm not a soccer fan but love watching the euro/world cup, just something different about watching two countries go at it.
I didn't watch any of the south America tournament except for the Argentina/Brazil final and that seemed like a more watchable brand of soccer than most the Euro games I watched.
My soccer strategy is limited to being an average FIFA player but it seems like the Brazil/Argentina game they were constantly moving up and down the field while most euros just slowly pass the ball back and forth up the field.
