I'm not a big follower of any televised sport, but I have watched the occasional game from this series of the World Cup, and thoroughly enjoyed them all.
However I will concede that the sentiments expressed in this thread are not uncommon. I have seen soccer described a boring elsewhere. I find this amazing, it is far from boring. It is a marvelous game full of tactics and skill. All I can assume is that those who describe it as boring either do not understand the game or suffer from ADHD. :D
^^^ I completely agree :D
I just love watching it :)
So does chess, but it's not fun to watch others play it.Quote:

OK TV is on
10 mins left and score is 1-nil, with Paraguay ahead. Grass is green, crowd is cheering, the Vuvuzela are buzzing. Now you don't get that in chess. :D
Well excitement, Paraguay has just scored again.
Soccer was invented to make golf seem exciting.:rolleyes:
Works, too. I was watching Pebble beach last night, and I never watch golf. Somehow, after this WC it didn't seem quite as lethally boring.
Those who do not consider soccer boring may be interested in taking a look at an interesting calendar of events.
I see the US is playing the last of it's initial 3 games today, with two draws under it's belt there is a possibility of going further in the competition. Good Luck USA.
US needs to win the game, or they'll go through even with a draw, if England do NOT win its game.
Only in America :)
Turn up the volume for a complete world cup experience...
