For years, I honestly tried to become a soccer fan. I felt that if I could love hockey (low scoring) and baseball (low scoring and slow paced), I should be able to love soccer too. I also had a real curiosity to try to figure out what more than a billion soccer fans were seeing but I was somehow missing.

After nearly a decade, I'm finally giving up. I'm willing to admit that I'll never get it and I'll never like it. And that's OK.

Hear hear!

Actually, #2 I don't mind, but I agree with you on 1 and 3 strongly. Plus, I just don't agree with a championship game being decided on a shootout. I can understand preliminary games, even semi-finals using a shootout just in terms of scheduling. But the final game should be for all the marbles. Keep playing until someone drops, which inevitably opens up the opportunity for someone to put it away.

So yeah, I saw a little bit of the World Cup final.
