I have to admit I stand out in the general crowd here. I am one of the few that think its boring to watch. Nothing much happens. And to be brutally honest - a bunch of grown men kicking around a ball, trying to shoot it into a net - and then hugging each other... I donīt know.

I watch it and like it - of course I used to play. I also watch F1 and ALMS so maybe that means little.

The athletes that the US produces for soccer are slowly getting better, but the general level of play clearly remains below the top tier. Even my wife can tell if it's a US league game vs one of the european games. On the other hand, I think the game is catching on in this country because more and more teens are playing and understanding the game. Although it may never grow to NBA/NFL/MLB levels it soon will surpass hockey.
