Attended my first soccer game. 90 minutes. 0 goals. 10,000 people sang like they won. I am converted.
The ball went near the goal once and 40 grown men cried. Someone threw a flare. I do not know what sport I watched but I would die for this team now.

You did not watch a sport. You joined a cult. The dues are scarves and the meetings are on weekends. Welcome.
0-0 draws hit different when you are surrounded by people who treat a corner kick like the moon landing. The tension is the point.
I went to a 0-0 baseball game once and people called it 'a pitcher's duel.' Soccer fans just call it Tuesday. I respect the honesty.
