Non football fans around the nation have received another reminder as to why they don't fuck with the sport too much.

The reminder came in the form of a 0-0 draw against the South American nation of Paraguay.

While a fantastic result in the scheme of things, the 12pm game that had millions downing tools to tune in has left the overwhelming majority of those millions feeling justified for their prejudices.

"Jesus, what a game," sighed one local Rugby League fan at the Royal Betoota Hotel this afternoon.

"How the fuck do people watch this shit every week?"

"Like the carry on from the players wasn't too bad this time around, but I just can't get around the concept of playing for a nil all draw."

"It's just not footy."

"Imagine just doing shoulders on for 2 games of Origin so it's all to play for in Game 3?"

"Honestly, I felt like going back to my desk and doing some work."

That sentiment has been echoed around the country, with plenty of others just thankful they didn't have to burn any leave to watch the game.

"I mean, I kinda understand now why the football fans are so into flares and shit," said the aforementioned fan.

"Like if you've paid money to watch something like that, I can see how letting off a flare would liven things up a bit."

"Or getting into a punch on just let off some of the frustration from sitting through 90 minutes of that."

"Anyway, I say this, but I'll go again in 4 or 5 days time."

"Let's go Socceroos."
