No, we are too smart to play that boring game.

But you play soccer, which is a boring game until the conclusion, when the fans of the losing team riot.

Soccer, like any sport when its played properly, is a great sport, full of excitement. When its isnt, its dull.

When any sport is done the right way, its great, full of skill, excitement. Any sport played the wrong way becomes sterile and dull.

Given that baseball takes half a day and is as slow as a snail, and the NFL takes 3-4 hrs, it does strike us Limeys as hypocritical that Americans moan about how boring soccer is.

At least a boring soccer game is over in 90 minutes (plus 15 min break)= 1hr 45m. Rugby is even quicker.

You can fit two whole dull soccer games into one dull NFL and probably three dull soccer games into a boring baseball game.
