I concede that baseball can sometimes be boring, but at least in the 1-0 or 2-0 baseball game, somebody scored! Baseball never ends in a tie; and its never controlled by a clock. How can a fab be pleased when his team tied the other team - and there was virtually no offense? From what I've seen in the World Cup, most teams play keep away, with very few shots on goal. Sorry, not worth my time . . . but you soccer fans are certainly free to enjoy those nil-nil ties to your hearts content.
Again let's not say things that aren't true:

For example in today's matches there were 10 goals scored in the three games with only 1 of the 6 teams not scoring any.

I do agree a better clock system would be good and I'm also in favor of some sort of rule that would limit the keep away aspect.
