Occasionally I'll catch an LA Galaxy MLS game, and I did watch some of the World Cup just recently, but the game itself has a sense of predictability. One guy cant turn a game around by running a fast break down the field without opposition, or hitting a clutch home run to score 2 of his teammates, or even knock a bullet slapshot in from 50 feet. Everything in soccer happens slowly.
Baseball, on the other hand is all about anticipation, expectation and surprise.

I beg to differ on this one.. breakaways happen alot.. as long as the linesmen aren't fucknuts. Things can happen very quickly in soccer it's just that the US game is relatively slow.. for some reason our soccer players focus more on finesse instead of getting the ball past the netminder. The english game is refined yet fast and the italian game is well fast and involves alot of cheating
the German game is similar to the english game in it's finesse factor and speed factor. I think if the US adopted an English style you'd see more support for it because it would be better to watch.. also it would help if our men won the cup. We did well in the last cup but until we prove it's not a fluke then support will be limited.
