I myself have gone from thinking soccer is just terribly boring to thinking soccer is actually kind of enjoyable.

I have gone from thinking soccer is just terribly boring to knowing that it is. There is a reason there are so many riots in the stadiums - there is darn little else to draw ones attention.

And have you ever seen an after game highlight? It is not of the play leading to the goal but instead of the guy running down the field after the goal. And when the highlights really heat up the guy will be shown with his shirt pulled up over his face and run without being able to see. Folks, if the highlights are about what takes place after the goal what takes place during the game has got to be a loser.

On a warm spring day there is more action on the side of the field where they are not trying to score a goal. At least you can pull up a blanket and have a reasonble good chance at watching the grass grow.

I take that back. When soccer really gets good is when one of the players gets bumped, falls on the ground as if he has just taken the biggest hit NFL Football has to offer, is carried off the field on a stretcher, only to return to the game on the very next play.

I know we are not supposed to make any personal attacks on here, so I hope you won't take this the wrong way, but anyone that thinks soccer is even sort of enjoyable must lead an incredibly boring life.

My life is so boring that sustaining a body core tempertature just five degrees above room temperature is a constant vigil. Coaching, playing, refereeing, and watching soccer has made my life completely empty.
