Where was the "barf" alert.

Soccer is for fags.

I'm not going to diss either one. During the season, I spend my Saturdays watching the English Premier League and my Sundays watching my beloved Vikings.

There's something to like in most every sport, if you look hard enough. Great execution in the face of physical danger is appealing when I watch the NFL. In soccer, a good buildup executed by great athletes is quite graceful to watch. In hockey, overtime of a Stanley Cup playoff game is as good as it gets in sports.

But for my money, the most graceful thing in sports is a 4-6-3 double play, smartly turned.

Soccer is boring. It's needs more scoring. Do away with the offside call and maybe the scores will rise.

Australian Rules Football...the way soccer should be.

I'd say the first response nailed it: it's boring.
