This is actually how I came to appreciate soccer. Never really watched it or played it before, but it's the perfect sport for kids to start with because it is constant action/running and the basics and rules are as simple as it gets for kids. My kid is only 7 but he has now played for about 4 years and they are just now starting to get where there is a little strategy with positions, formations, set pieces (a little) etc. Like any sport the more you watch and understand more of the game within the game the more you appreciate it.

Also living in Atlanta, the new MLS team ATL UTD is a pretty well run product/organization. They can fill Mercedes Benz Stadium, tailgate like its a football game, and they put on a good and entertaining show. You are in and out in two hours max too.

The "I'm not entertained unless people are scoring" crowd just won't ever like soccer and that's fine. Plenty of sports for different people to enjoy. Kind of silly to worry about or criticize people for what they enjoy when it doesn't have anything to do with you at all.

I have been saying this for decades, as I have enjoyed soccer since the late '70s

For the record, this thread started its life, and the first four pages, on the OT before it was moved in here.
