I think it has more to do with low scoring games. Like if a game ends 1-0, it is "boring" for meat-head America.

A conservative publication against "soccer." I don't expect anything else in America. Honestly, I doubt "soccer" will ever catch on with the same passion exhibited around the world. That would be out of its character.

Wolrd Cup > World Series

i don't follow your logic, 1-0 is a boring game usually, whats wrong with wanting more goals? how would that change the essence of the game?

why would a score of 4-3 be any less good than 1-0 ?

even the Fifa acknowledge this by "updating" the ball to make it lighter and less predictable.

I've seen some pretty exiting 1-0 games, with plenty of attacks and good defense. Low-scoring games can be full of good play. Remember the Germany-Poland game. The score was 1-0, but was fun to watch nonetheless.

I'm not saying low-scoring games are better to watch than higher-scoring games, but low-scoring games shouldn't be disregarded as boring.

obviously, a 1-0 game can be exciting, even very. But the fact is that most 1-0 games get very boring after that goal... winning team defending and finding every way possible to waste time which imo is a disgrace.

more american bashing on soccer... at least this is from a reasonable 3rd point of view but some of the quotes later on are just kick-in-the-face-able.

Honestly who cares what the americans think? In our countries the whole country stop to watch the world cup.Since the U.S. isn't a futbol nation they won't stop working or take days offs to see their team play.Not to mention that the games are being played real early in the day.
