Because it can be play for 3 hours and end in a 1-1 tie.

Same could be said for hockey. But as a hockey fan, some of the most exciting games are 2-1 or 1-0 games. Now the MLS is pretty boring stuff compared to International matches, when there are higher quality of players and more is at stake. I find it hard to be enthusiastic about the MLS because it lacks a sense of rivalry, unlike most of the other countries. But the World Cup is exciting to watch, and when the US inevitably makes it to the Finals, the ratings in this country will rival the Super Bowl.

"Same could be said of Hockey"


Who says hockey is a sport? I consider is barely better, and I do mean barely, than professional wrestling with a puck.

I think the soccer haters don't understand the game. Maybe they can't see the strategy or get the rules.

Real sportsmen can appreciate different sports (tennis, golf, racing, track & field, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, etc.) and the various skills each require. Sportsmen love competition whether it's a soccer volley or a record breaking fish caught in a tournament.

I really don't understand all the animosity directed at one sport. It's uncharacteristic of conservatives and FR.
