I know it looks that way to people who don't know the game but try playing it sometime and you may have a new appreciation for it. The fitness, stregth and agility levels required for top flight soccer is unmatched in virtaully any other sport.

So what if I was bored while playing it? It won't EVER sell in the US, it isn't nearly fast paced enough for the American sports fan. And Thank God for that.

There is always a TRUE AMERICAN SPORTS FAN on every "football" thread that states that soccer is sissy sport for euro-weenies and that the game WILL NEVER be popular here in the states. It's getting a bit old. How about spewing your holier-than-thou opinions on another thread?

Well if American sports fans wanted fast paced sports then the NFL and MLB wouldn't exist.

Why do you care if it will ever sell in the US or not?
