Didn't watch 1 second of the world cup
Same here. Have no use for the flopping...1-0 and 0-0 scores...and don't even get me started on 'offsides'.

I agree about watching hockey over soccer. I’m not a big hockey fan either, but at least with hockey they actually attempt more than a couple shots on goal.

Perhaps you've never watched the very-effective-but-painful-to-watch neutral zone trap style of play.
See: Devils, New Jersey - 3 stanley cups

Yeah I'll pass. I hope it never ever gets any more attention in the usa than it gets now. I can honestly say I'm glad we didnt make it to the world cup. Every time we make it SC talks way to much about it and this year while they spent a lot of time on it it wasn't near as bad as when we make it.

Soccer is an amazing sport, if not the most amazing. Anybody that thinks it is just a boring sport or easy has never played and/or just doesn’t understand it tactically. It is quite strategic and nuanced. It also takes more stamina than any other sport aside from rugby probably. Very satisfying to watch unfold when you understand the responsibility of each position, much like Football is. I probably love soccer and football equally, but how could anyone think soccer is a slower game? The average CFB game is riddled with commercials, unnecessarily lengthy reviews, and other annoyances. The clock doesn’t even stop in soccer until halftime. Games are usually done in half the time it would take to play a football game.

The problem is it's so boring I have no desire to learn what each person is supposed to do. When I 1st watched football as a child it was exciting and caught my attention. When I watch soccer it's just a bunch of grown men running around kicking a ball and faking injuries. There is hardly ever scoring and when the ball does get near a goal there is like 12 people around it and it looks like a cluster. It might would be more interesting if there were less people on the field but I doubt it. It's just boring
