Soccer is an art, it takes a much more finesse touch than football does, and there is much more creativity involved. The free flow of the ball allows for a wider array of strategy, ie points of attack, counter-attacks etc. Dribbling, passing, and kicking a ball is much harder than it looks, and then you see the kind of moves, passes and shots that professionals pull off..amazing! I would love to watch a bunch of football players try to play soccer.
Those that think soccer is boring don't really know what to watch for..to me it's always interesting to watch the match-up between the wingers and the full backs. The wings are such a pivotal point of attack, players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery attack from the wings and it's always fun to try and watch other players try to shut them down. I also enjoy watching defensive midfielders..they destruct opposing teams attacks but are also there to support attacks..Michael Essien is probably the best one out there on the top of my head. These are just a couple examples..
Though the greatest thing about the game is that there are so many levels of competition, from the domestic titles to the Champions League to the World Cup. Right now is the best time to watch soccer because the World Cup is right around the corner! Players are churning in order to make their teams squads. In November there will be Qualifier-playoffs for some big European teams like France and Portugal, win you're in lose you're out.
