My kids games were better when they were in the first grade.
The players don’t seem particularly skilled or athletic—-who can’t run and kick a ball. It seems like any average person could become a high level soccer player, given sufficient time and training effort.
Every four years, “they” try to use the world cup as a platform to popularize the sorry game on a pro level in this country--- It’s been going on since the 1970s. It remains a kid’s game because its good exercise, easy to play, requires no skill, and anyone who wants to can play. MLS is a joke, as well it should be.
Say what you want about how it’s the world’s favorite sport, adored by millions, & blah blah blah, blah blah blah--- it’s a sissy, ugly, unskilled BORING , kiddies game and soooo fashionably international. They'll drag it out again in another four years.

Could you be more specific as to why you feel it is boring?
