How many football matches do I have to watch to become an expert?

Becoming a football expert by watching games alone is less about quantity and more about how critically you observe and understand tactics, players, and trends. Sure, hundreds or thousands of hours won't hurt, but many 'experts' are just loud amateurs who learned to talk confidently without necessarily knowing more. So, watch a lot, read a bit, and shout with conviction – the world rewards confidence, not just knowledge.
