World cup owns my life

I love watching World Cup more than anything. I've watched it for as long as I can remember, but as I'm growing up (I'm 20)...I get more and more emotional when it comes on. I watch it constantly, and get distressed if I miss one match. Sometimes I cry at the adverts, because the music is so powerful; just like there is this greater thing going on in the world, combining the love and passion for football. I love it. And I know I'm going to cry when it's over. Is this normal?
p.s. I'm an American and I want England to win (though it's looking doubtful)

    As was said above, it's only because you're American that this seems abnormal - Most British men feel this way too as far as I can tell.

    Like you say, it's the way notion of the game being able to bring happiness to so many millions of people all around the world. It's one of the few opportunities for us blokes to be sentimental without losing machismo, so for many (and probably you) it's an outlet of emotion.

    The closing VT that the BBC put together got me streaming, it was done as a parody of District 9 and really made me appreciate how enjoyable the tournament was.

    Same. When the world cup comes around my whole day is inverted i can't even sleep. Ever since i was a kid also. I'd sleep on the couch and wait for the game the next day.

    Well, its not normal for an American(US) to have that much passion for football lol.

    I thought you were English whilst reading that.
    Shocked me, sorry, speechless.

    My money is on Argentina on winning.
