If you didn't grow up with it, I think you have to have a personal connection to it somehow. For me it was the '98 WC. I was in grad school with a bunch of Brazillians and Spainards. All guys (this was a metallurgy department after all) but they all had their wives with them (they don't seem to export ugly Brazillian women). Every night was a futbol party, every day was spent recovering and rehashing the previous day.
I was hooked. One of my most enjoyable 4 weeks, ever.
Still hate set pieces - the goals seem cheezy. If you don't get the net from play, on the run down the field, you should only get 1/2 point.
I'm heading to Glasgow and London 2-18 July, so I hope to find some great places to view the matches.
