Football Anyone (aka Soccer)?

With U.S. out of the World Cup, curious to see how many folks watched the World Cup this year. Apparently, viewing in the country was up 68% from the last World Cup 4 years ago. I wonder how many folks become "New" fans!

I absolutely love american football. Have been a fan for years. I not only watch the team I follow play but will watch other games as well. Baseball next but not on the same par as football. Love boxing but haven't watched regularly in awhile.
Try as I might, I just cannot get into soccer. Gave it ago the last World Cup games. I really had myself psyched for it but it was still a no go LOL.

One of the problems with soccer a.k.a. football, is that the rules are so vague!
I watched some of it with the idea that it might be more interesting that watching grass grow during a drought!
I was dissapointed that it did not exceed my expectations.
Big Yawn!
If it were not for Beckham, there are not too many American born citizens that would really give a rats behind about the sport.
It's even slower than baseball with a no hitter going.
The only sport that could be slower would be the Canadian sport of curling!
But for some reason or other, I kinda like it, eh!
