Unredictability of outcome makes a sport exciting? Coin flipping should be the top rated sport in that case.

American football, basketball and baseball have millions of followers, but they can't match soccer for sheer excitement, says a team of scientists.
Oh yeah. Gotta love those RIVETING 0-0 games where the ball get's bounced around midfield for 90+ minutes..../sarcasm

There is no sport in the world more exciting than Crimson Tide football.

Soccer - dullest sport ever? Unless you are 12 and playing it, it absolutely stinks. These must be the same "scientists" that insist the Kyoto Protocol is brilliant.

researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, US.This is scary if these are the guys doing our weapons research. Anyway, why are they studying sports excitement? Can't we find something a bit more useful for them to do?

Exciting- I still wonder how Bobby Bowden hasn't died of a heart attack yet.

What's to understand? If you like soccer, you are Latino, European, or gay.

I can't believe that they are wasting resources for this at LANL, even IF the funding came from a non-taxpayer source.
I almost would have thought this was just some lame satire...
Wrote to my friend who works at LANL; Asked her what the heck they were doing.

Soccer is a game for people who are skilled enough to play sports.
Why do you think they have soccer leagues for 5 year old girls?

Soccer ia a socialist game. You gotta play with both hands behind your back.

You are crazy. There is nothing more exciting than Arkansas Razorback football. You have no idea if you are going to lose 77-0 or win 3-0.

They need to make that goal about twice as wide and give different points for shots from different distances. I'm not a soccer fan, so all the plays look the same to me. I love real football because of its variety.

I'll tell you this. I'm willing to put money on two things.
Next season, Arkansas will have a better record than Tennessee, and more importantly, Arkansas will come out of this season with a better recruiting class than Tennessee.
I have waited so long for the fall of Fulmer and now that it's happening, well, let's just say I'm overjoyed.
