    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.

    So does chess, but it's not fun to watch others play it.

    OK each to his own. I think I might put the TV on and see the end of the Slovakia vs Paraguay game.

    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.

    Soccer was invented to make golf seem exciting.

    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.
