To top it off this most boring (next to curling) “sport” gives you brain damage both from heading the ball and from watching the “sport”.

Don’t knock curling, laddie!

It is a great past time for the participant who has a designated driver to take them home after the game!

Curling is the best sport at the winter olympics. Unlike many of the “sports” it is determined by objective standards rather than subjective “style” points.

This is silly. Whoever doesn’t like soccer doesn’t have to watch it, like any sport. The best in any professional sport are phenomenal athletes, so if you don’t like the sport, please don’t demean the athletics of it. There are a ton of American football players and NBA players who love soccer and follow European teams.

Regarding boring, any sport will be boring to you if you don’t understand it enough to appreciate the difficulty involved in playing it. A fast moving hockey game that ends 1-0 is not boring. A baseball game with great defense and great pitching, but ends 1-0 can be intriguing. I didn’t have a full appreciation for how incredibly athletic professional soccer players are until I went to the World Cup and saw for myself. Absolutely amazing athletes.
