Am I the only one that thinks soccer is boring? [View all]

I have never liked soccer. To me it is a very boring game to watch. It is like only two minutes of excitement in the entire game and that is only if you are lucky.

When my sons were very little they played soccer because the only skill it took was running and kicking. As soon as they started to develop more athletic skills they played other sports.

I can't get excited about the World Cup.

I know it is getting more popular but to me Soccer will never be America's game.
