It's certainly not the adrenalin-pumping, excite-fest that is baseball.

what's funny is i used to love soccer as a kid. i played in a league for years. used to name my soccerballs and take them to school to play at recess. it's gotta be the world's most popular game for a reason, but i don't get it anymore. maybe because of the cultural lack of exposure to it, or there's no rivalry since there's nothing to defend because we're not supposed to be good at soccer so who cares if we lose, unlike baseball which we think of as 'america's game'. or maybe its just a personal thing because i don't like hockey either and its a similar kind of field game. whatever the reason like many americans i find myself asking why people like soccer in the same way i ask why claudia shiffer likes david copperfield or why sailors like ivy
