I might try to watch some if I run across it while flipping channels if there is not a baseball game on. Though, traditionally I have not been able to develop an interest in soccer at all.

Baseball > soccer.


Baseball is my favorite sport, but it’s hard for me to watch on TV. The camera is always from behind the pitcher and you can’t see how the fielders are lined up. I love strategy and want to see the field. You only get to see what really happened on replay. Football has the same problem when they zoom in on the QB.

Baseball is arguably one of the most boring sports to play and watch. I think it’s cultural conditioning to say that it’s good.

American football, ice hockey, basketball, tennis are top tier

Soccer, volleyball, middle tier

Baseball, softball, golf, swimming. Bottom tier

Totally disagree with this. Look at all the adults playing in softball leagues. There are very few if any football leagues.

European football is so much better than American football.

The announcers are a ton of the difference. American announcers sound like doting fathers describing their 11 year old's match. The UK announcers openly slag players and coaches during the broadcast, and are much more interesting to listen to.

Haha yeah same thing with F1. I also hate the constant commercials and interruptions.

Depends on what else is going on
I will give a look in to USA games

Will watch some of the knockout round games depending on teams

If you don’t like soccer, don’t watch
Soccer fans could care less what you will be doing anyway

Lots. My sons play club and school soccer and got me hooked a few years ago. Up until then I’d rather watch paint dry


Same here. While it’s still gay, I watch the shite out of it now. Somehow my kids ended up being straight after all these years of playing soccer.

None. Soccer is boring to watch, at least on TV. The big games are probably fun to be at live- like NASCAR: i'd love to see the taladega 500 live but I ain't watching that shite on TV...
