Soccer is just better seen live. I stumbled into a Manchester United pub in London. I tried to talk shit about soccer. They laughed at me. You Americans don't even know enough about football to even trash talk. Lets just have a pint and tell me about Farah Facett(its 1984). I ended up getting drunk with them and they let me go to the game and sit with them if I promised to join in if there was trouble.
If you can see soccer at that level, in that atmosphere it rocks. Didn't understand the rules but everyone was having so much in the stands, its infectious.
I went to a soccer game at Arrowhead. I don't understand the rules or why professional players couldn't pass it to one another. If a QB can throw a simple 15 yard pass. an outfielder must be able to throw to 2B, why cant a soccer player pass the ball 20 yards down the field consistently? I thought this sucks. Them I saw a World Cup game and they all were able to do crisp passes to each other. Way different game.

College soccer is painful to watch.
