Sorry. I know that youy say soccer and not football, but I didn't remind when I write my reply. We find soccer interesting to wacth on TV; sure, there are not many scores, but in Europe we don't care about it.

For example: our soccer league match cand end with a equal score but yours not. It's curious the different ways that we like sport

soccer is deadly boring, just ask these guys what "cerocerismo" stands for.

[Thorgal]

but it seems kind of boring as something just to watch,

Well, i dont like football (soccer if you want), but the baseball is the silliest and most boring thing that I have never seen in my life.

We all do, GP.

Soccer ain't bad to watch, though rugby's much better.

Yaros sounds like ottok speaking English.

I think tennis is more popular on TV. I remember some years before it was easier to watch basketball matches on TV, but now it isn't. I'm not sure, but I think now you have to pay if you want to watch them.
Tennis is still free.

Yo también quiero una novia who likes Civ2.

This is true to many americans. They focus solely on the final score, not the excitement of 90 minutes of continuously flowing action. Solid midfield play does not impress them - I suspect because they do not understand the game so well. Maybe when the next generation grows up (they've all played and understand the game), its popularity will continue to rise.

If you ask me (lifelong futbol player), baseball and american football are far more boring than futbol. American football games only see 6 or 7 scores in 3 hours, how can that be any more exciting than futbol?! Baseball the same, with even less action going on. At least with futbol, the game doesn't stop and start a hundred times.

People who like hockey should be able to appreciate futbol. Just change the ice to grass and the puck to a ball. Voila! a sport they understand.
