Action? Soccer? Puhhleeze. Guys running around on grass kicking a ball back and forth and then every now and then actually making an effort to score is hardly action at a pace that American's are accustomed to. It's not a money making venture and I'm not quite so sure it's all that exciting outside of a few times when the ball is down near the goal.

The thing with baseball is that anything can happen at any time. Soccer? Unless the ball is on one end of the field or the other, no team has a chance to score. With baseball, a team can score on any pitch so to say baseball is boring would be like calling soccer a vapid vanilla waste of time.
