This made me LOL. Come inside for some real football stuff.

Yeah its kind of painful to watch without the fans.

Unlike the fans for NBA, NFL, MLB where its all soulless and just people loitering there until someone scores and then they jump around like they were part of it. European football's fans as as much of the game as the players.

The atmosphere during a game is insane and the change in what the 'organized' fan blocks do during the game is something people going to sports ball shit in the US cannot even begin to comprehend.
college football is more like european football. the fans actually care who wins because they have a connection to the team beyond geography.
 
baseball has exceptions with players that don't require speed, but they are still physically exceptional specimens in many regards.
being able to see a 90+ mile an hour fastball is not common, and being able to swing before it is already past you is even more rare, unless you start swinging before the pitcher even lets go of the ball. some things are difficult to appreciate without having tried to do it yourself.

Comanche Indians played the first recorded game of soccer in Texas when they raided the mission in San Saba in 1758 and played soccer with the priest's heads.
