I hate soccer, unless it’s late and I can’t sleep...it’s better than a sleeping pill.

I happen to like and encourage America’s sporting isolationism.

Euros and 3rd world types enjoy soccer. More power to them. But, we find it boooooorrriiiiing.

"However, football is no longer met with American indifference."

No, we're hopping mad they've co-opted the term "football". No indifference about that.

We LOVE FOOTBALL. It’s soccer we take exception to.

which have long bemoaned the lack of breaks in play, the paucity of goals and the glut of draws.

How about the drama queens who exaggerate each and every physical penalty as if it were life-threatening.

This is America. We don't care about the sports they play in other countries. Our version of football is loosely based on soccer and rugby. Our baseball is likewise loosely based on cricket. If we'd wanted to play or watch those European sports, we wouldn't have invented our own versions! I doubt soccer would be as popular as it is if not for the influx of third worlders and the fact that both boys and girls can play it in school as it is seen as a unisex game.

Commie football. Someone spills a beer, words fly then fists. In the melee, bleachers collapse killing 30, then it pours out into the streets where government troops use live rounds to quell the violence illuminated by burning cars well into the night. What’s not to love?

Well I’ll go against the grain.

I can identify with soccer. I can’t identify with concussions or jumping 40 inches.

As for watch-ability, I’ll take 90 minutes (call it two hours with extensions) over three hours.

Plus there’s the thug factor. How many assaults should be allowed before a team becomes unwatchable.

It took me 4 hours to read this article and I kept meticulous track of the pluses and minuses of Soccer.

The final score was 0-0. How freaking exciting.

The recently played Needham Memorial Day Tournament in Mass. had over 1000 club teams from Eastern U.S, ages 8 to 18.

Doubt any other sport has youth tournament numbers to rival that.

The best cure for soccer ignorance is seeing it played live at a high level.

Soccer would be better if it were still played with the head of a vanquished enemy as in days of olde.
