You can't call soccer boring if you watch baseball or football. That would make you a hypocrite

No it wouldn't. Baseball and football both has way higher scoring than soccer and football is much faster than soccer. Baseball has hits, runs, home runs, stolen bases, doubles, triples, and just so many different ways to make a game exciting. Nothing in sports is more exciting than a no-hitter or a perfect game. Soccer is 95 (?) minutes long, slow as ****, and the score ends like 2-1.
Until the US does something at the World Cup, I disagree.Meh, the fact remains that Soccer is still the #1 sport worldwide and likely the one with the biggest growth in N. America ever since the MLS was implented. Even if it hasn't surpassed hockey here, it will eventually. Hockey lovers need to deal with it.
ESPN said that the woman's World Cup goal on Sunday was the fifth most dramatic thing of all time. Over the shot heard round the world, Kirk Gibson's home run, and Roger Clemens appearing in George Steinbrenner after signing with the Yankees. So yeah they are really trying to push soccer. Its a nice goal and all but let's have some perspective.

if you can't see why a no-hitter is exciting you are insane.
Just out of curiosity, how old are the people here who hate every sport except hockey? Usually it's young teenagers who just hate everything they don't know anything about.
Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are younger. You can cut the elitist attitude And no I am not a teenager and love serveral sports.
I think in the states and in Canada there are just as many Soccer fans as Hockey fans, but i don't think they support the MLS they support their home leagues. MLS is a crap league for one reason, they don't know their place and try to sell themselves like the best league in the world, when everyone knows they aren't. so i think its comical that anyone would say MLS is bigger than the NHL.
and there is no way that anything that happens in the woman's world cup is more exciting than any historical sports moment. that like saying the time i threw 6 TD's on my street corner when i was 14 was the greatest sports moment ever. why isn't it? because nobody cares! nobody is emotionally invested in my two hand touch football career, or the woman's world cup
That's not what I was trying to say..
And what did you mean by football has 11 minutes of action and takes 3:15 to finish the game. Technically, it has 60 minutes of action.
There are 60 minutes of play clock, not 60 minutes of action. After most plays the clock keeps running. The average game has the clock running for about 49 minutes with players in the huddle or waiting for the ball to be snapped. The actual time of the plays add up to about 11 minutes.
Hockey on the other hand the clock only running when the play is going on. There is actually 60 minutes of action during a game.
Yea, I'm not so sure about that. You may be right, but I don't see how that's possible.
The hell are you talking about.

Have you ever heard the commissioner of MLS speak about the league? how they push landon donavan as one of the best players in the world??
It was one of the best games I have ever seen in any sport.Did anyone actually watch that soccer game.It was pretty good.
Yea, I'm not so sure about that. You may be right, but I don't see how that's possible.
Edit- I just checked and you're right. Color me shocked.
To be honest Chastain's PK in 1999 will probably be more memorable to the average American than ANY hockey moment.I think in the states and in Canada there are just as many Soccer fans as Hockey fans, but i don't think they support the MLS they support their home leagues.
