There's plenty of other stuff to enjoy for me. See how well certain players I have an eye on play, or how well is the overall ability of the team. Did the coach do a good job with his tactics? Are there good goal chances? Any nice tricks some more proficient player is showing off? Is it maybe a hard battle with lots of drama? Do I wittness a new star in the making or some overblown wannabe legend crumble under the pressure? What is at stakes? Maybe a hard defended draw will throw another contender out of the race (e.g. qualifying matches)? Of course, goals are the icing of the cake and one of the great payoffs when you're rooting for someone or see an exceptional goal, but I can honestly say that among the most enjoyable games I've seen, there are also ones that ended 0:0.
