Alot of people are not into it mostly because is different. But I really enjoy it.

Soccer suffers here because TV does not like it. You can't go to commercials on timeouts. It's all in the marketing folks. I do not buy the "low scoring" nature of the game as the reason. Like Zach says, the game is continuous and filled with anticipation. One goal scored in soccer twice as rewarding as a TD or maybe 50 times more exciting than each cheapened point scored in Basketball. A true soccer fan watches every moment with anticipation and interest.
