Soccer, on the other hand, is boring EVERY FUCKING GAME. Seriously, I caught part of a lacrosse game on tv the other day, and even that shit looked more interesting to me than the bits of the World Cup I saw.

There are basketball games, football games, tennis matches that are completely boring to watch on TV at times. Also seriously, do you really sit and watch an entire round of golf on TV and say this is the most exciting thing ever? What about Nascar? What is so damn exciting watching the same 20 cars run in a circle 500 times? Its not a boring to watch or boring to watch on TV factor. We just aren't invested in it. If we became invested in it, then it wouldn't matter boring or not, we would watch. Every sport has its boring time on TV.

I think if it had a bigger live audience it would be a totally different story. Still with all that Solitaire wrote I cannot refute her logic just based on my opinion it's sound. I will stress tho that their are two things the world just adores and Americans don't get into, Soccer and the Metric System.

Soccer isn't popular in the US because it's boring as hell. :) Can’t we just keep this simple? Soccer isn’t popular in the US because it’s boring as hell. :)
