To throw in my two cents, I was playing soccer in grade school over 30 years ago and loved to play the game. I would much rather play soccer than football (like I could play either now

), but I would much rather watch football. Not really sure why, must be some weird, twisted glitch in the American Psyche.
Although, I'm a bit like Geo. I really prefer baseball (especially the year the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in the World Series

). It is more of a slow paced thinking game. Kind of like SEIV vs. Starcraft.
