Soccer seems pretty boring to me, except when watching a real good team. I think it was last year that Italy was number one....? I was blown away by their passing and intuition....a thing of beauty to observe.
It bugs me how players fake being hurt, grabbing their legs and stuff, but you can see in a replay of what happened, that nothing was much in the way of injury producing. Sometimes they get carried off in a stretcher, but rejoin the match a few minutes later. I figure it must be to get a penalty called, or maybe just to grab a short rest....? I know the fans go nuts, but it seems kind of whimp.
Maybe if I drank more tequila......
