For people who say its slow paced you need to watch some Champions league or the latter stages of the World cup. It is far more intense.

Also if you think Football is slow you better stay well clear of cricket..... well clear...

well, that is true that high level soccer football is less boring, but compared to a 75 metre pass or a guy smashing through a crowd of 11 people and sprinting 80 meters to the endzone in American football or a 132-128 score in a basketball game or a guy skating down the ice at ~20 km/h and slamming another guy into the wall, it is slow paced. Anytime I watch soccer, even the WC championship, I just start falling asleep.

The World Cup is terrible soccer compared to other leagues around the world. You look at a guy and get red carded. It's lame.

With that said, I don't particularly enjoy soccer but I watch it at times. I just found a soccer bar here in Milwaukee and have been there a few times, mostly just to get drunk and yell, which is what soccer fans seem to enjoy most. Back in Long Beach I would roll down to an English bar and watch some Premiere league with the guys there.

Give me MLB, NFL, or NBA any day of the week. There just isn't enough scoring in most soccer games to keep me interested. It's not terrible on the level of cricket (and I am a baseball fan so I can't say much), it just doesn't appeal to me that much.
