Actually, with all the penalty delays, video replay for disputed ref call delays, commerical break time outs, ad infinitum ad nauseam, we can't really use the "boring" argument against soccer anymore.

No, the delays in Football are anoying at times, but they are strategically placed to allow snack/bathroom breaks without missing any of the action. In soccer you can take a 2 hour bathroom break and not miss anything significant.

Whew, that line at the snack bar took forever. What'd I miss?

Uh, they all ran this way for a while, then they all ran back the other way for a while. Actually I am not sure about any more then that cause I have been sitting here doing my taxes to keep from nodding off. But the score is still tied, zero-zero.
