I'm about to watch the home run derby. This would replace extra innings if FIFA was in charge of baseball.

Yeah, we had Cruyffs, Zidanes, Platinis, Beckenbauers and Maradonas but Messi is just on a different level. People who've never played soccer just have no idea how difficult it is to do things Messi does with no one around you, much less against the best defenders in the world. He's so ridiculous that when he is on, it almost looks like his opponents are just actors there to pretend like their job is to stop him.

For all the complaints about fútbol being boring, lots of people outside the US see football as boring because they stop and start play constantly, and roughly 90% of the official time of the game is between snaps- as in deadball time.
Not liking x or y sport often comes down to lack of familiarity or appreciation for the majority- that's why most sports fans have a modicum of interest in the major sports across the board. Of course, there will always be a segment of general sports fans that don't care for a particular sport, but there's a reason why these sports in general gain a following and have an value from an entertainment perspective.

I would love it so much more if it was not primarily a vehicle for ad revenue. |

So do I, it's just that no sport is above criticism- justified or stupid the reason may be.

EDIT: didn't notice that, although they gave out embed code for this, and the clip window shows up, La Liga blocks embed playback. Go here for the clip on youtube
