There are a lot of bandwagoners, which annoys me as well. People are running around quoting things that they heard on the broadcast (which sometimes are actually wrong).
However, you've probably never seen anyone watch a match because, as I stated earlier, the good euro leagues play their games in the afternoon and evening, which translates to early morning here. Therefore, these matches are almost never shown at places like bars here in the U.S. I get up and watch most Fulham games on Saturday or Sunday mornings via an internet stream. I then wait around for the Real Madrid games, wich usually start anywhere from noon to 2 p.m. (the league in Spain starts later).
I never really bother discussing these games with non soccer fans because, well, why waste my time? Personally, I usually assume people aren't interested so I don't really talk about it. If someone mentions something about my hat (I usually wear my Inter or RM hat), then I get a conversation going. If they can't recognize the logo on my hat, I know they don't care and I don't bother.
