Alright soccer. One of the most time consuming and most waste of time sports. How long does a typical game last? 90 minutes + injury time. I mean what the eff. The score you wait for is just ridiculous. You can be watching for 2 hours and the score is 1-0. And in the end you feel like.. WTH? I wasted 2 hours of my life just to watch guys running back and forth for a score of 1 to 0? A lot of times they don't even score at all! Here's why American Football, and basketball is much better. The time, only about an hour each? The games you can get really into. For example, Super bowl 43. The Giants and Patriots took it down to the final minutes of the game to decide the winner. In soccer you can have the same rush within the final minutes of the game, but the score comes out tied! Yes I watched over 2 hours of these guys just for a tie! Present me your flames and I will give you my opinion on them. Don't just say this is fail soccer pwnz. Because that's just...

It can get boring. It beats baseball in "watchability" though and I love baseball.

Actually playing, I think soccer is the most fun because it's fun dodging and getting past people for me. Basketball / Football are pretty even to me. I think watching all sports are boring though.

That's why I only watch final cup games, like AC Milan vs. Liverpool. Much more entertaining and intense.

It isn't. At all. You are incredibly ignorant. Soccer (football as I shall refer to it as due to my being English) is refered to as a beautiful game by the whole world (excluding USA[because they're wrong]) because it is art in the form of sport. The skill it takes and the training required would easily surpass any sport that is played on a serious level in the world. Football has so many varying tecniques of playing that it is never the same match twice. South American countries play with fluidity, while English teams play with individual talent and Americans play with pre-set plays and statistics (wrong way to play). If you watch a match for a high score, you're watching the wrong sport and watching sports for the entirely wrong reason. They're meant to be enjoyable to watch and play for the actually aspect of playing the game - not a high number. Please, experience the world.

Well people are entitled to opinions, but atleast have a valid argument, this guy's arguments dont even make sense... "watch over 2 hours for a tie" and? what does that prove?
