I have made a fair attempt to get into soccer. I was in the UK earlier this year, and spent some time with new acquaintances at a really nice pub, trying to get into it, lubricated by some great UK cider. My son played it throughout junior high and high school, and I watched the majority of his home games (do they call them games?). I watched the first half of the USA-England match last week, and all I remember is the obnoxious sound of the horns in the stadium (bees in my TV?) and several hours of a lack of scoring. I have to say, the sport is boring to me, and there is no way I will ever be able to enjoy it. But I admit that baseball can be boring too, but I enjoy it. To each his own, but soccer will never be a major sport in the USA in my lifetime. Of that I'm certain . . . .
