I feel similar when it's an England qualifier but when it's the tournament proper I am hooked. More emotionally invested when the matches really matter. Thursday night was painful, I don't care how much anyone supports England.

If by some miracle we get there, then I'll probably watch the matches full, but the problem is always that I have to record them, as I'd be feeding Karen or something, and once they're recorded it's hard not to hit that fast-forward button, esp if nothing is happening for long periods. And of course, with the World Cup, you have so many matches to try to watch, again I tend to watch mostly the highlights shows. Nothing worse than anticipating a great match that turns out to be a damp squib, unless it's not bothering with one that looks like it wouldn't be up to much and it turns out to be the game of the tournament!
