I admit I hate when ESPN or FOX shows soccer scores. I mean who truly cares about Labaloi vs Sethans I just shake head in dismay and go who?
I guess World Cup is ok to watch it's big time, but with all these soccer channels and what not, it's like they are trying to force people in the USA to watch or pay attention to scores that have no meaning to 99.9999% of us.

I still think soccer is boring and flawed. You can't have a game where so many matches end up in a draw. To me that shows there is a flaw with the game as every competition should have a winner and a loser. They need to make the field smaller so most of the game isn't spent playing keep-away.
love all the shit against portugal. we're talking about a team that has lost 2 games in the last 4 world cup qualifiers combined (that's 2 losses in 54 games vs European teams)
and only lost in a penalty shootout in semifinals European Championship vs the world champs....
yeah, they suck
oh, and they have the best player on the planet

I used to feel the exact same way until I started following the German soccer league and getting into the sport. It's true that statistically 25-30% of major soccer matches end in a draw, including the first round of the World Cup. But in league tournaments and WC elimination games they go extra time and shootouts, just like hockey. The draw is basically a win for the underdog and a loss for the favorite, since both teams get a point in the standings, doesn't take anything away from the game, just a different strategy.
I should give it more of a chance but to be honest there is so little televised soccer in the US that it's hard to get into it. It's just hard to watch soccer after watching a good football game.
Like in football you can have an amazing win like in the Auburn/Alabama game? Can that happen in soccer? Once a team is up 2-0 you know it's over.
