Probably get ridiculed here but I actually really like soccer. World Cup is the ultimate sports tournament in the world. Definitely watched by more people than the NFL Playoffs. 

in fairness its one of the only games played around the globe,  that has a "pro" level type event.  I would say that the olympics are likely a bigger global draw in terms of sports events.

You could be right. I have never seen global TV numbers for World Cup vs. Olympics so don't know one way or the other.

Guys kicking a ball back and forth for twenty minutes then someone finally gets a shot on goal... I can't sustain interest.  I think the last time I enjoyed soccer was at a Minnesota Kicks game in the 70s.  They kinda had a fun vibe going back then.

Totally agree. The only time I have even remote interest in soccer is the World Cup and only if the U.S. is in it. Kind of a patriotic thing. 

We tied with Josey Wales.  I reckon so.
