have you guys even tried to play soccer? running 45 minutes at a time? I'm too old to do it any more, but it's a great game.

just because us Americans can't wholeheartedly embrace it with its low scoring and lack of commercial breaks doesn't mean it isn't fun to play.

I play real "football" in an adult league (over 30). This past season I played a good deal of keeper, but will play a center defensive midfielder (that's CDM for all you hockey fans) coming up.

Yes, there are ways to entice viewers to make it more acceptable to the general public. Amazing how all these hockey fans like reporting Nielson ratings from the Outdoor network. People like Erff like looking in the mirror to make sure the memories of Lake Placid keep his Melrose "mullet" persona.

Personally, I like many sports. Association football (that's how we get "soccer" for all you hockey fans) just happens to be one of them. I will defend it until I die, even with Italian, Russian, and Polish (to name a few) scandals.

And yes, I even happen to like hockey.

Running 45 minutes at a time? Have you watched soccer at all? Walking around for 40 minutes with some short bursts of running. The only people I saw running most of the game was the sideline judges.

Soccer is the only sport that the refs have to be in better shape than the players.

One thing I think is cool is that ESPN soccer broadcasts use these player trackers that measure how far guys run during the match. Usually the guys running the farthest get in like 11-12 km per match, most all (besides keepers, obviously) get in over 7-8.
