oh mls

this is why no one cares about you. or maybe it's this. could be both. and beckham can't change that.

the mls is pretty much just the adult version of a youth soccer league. they go out onto the field, kick the ball back and forth a bit, occasionally score (though usually less than youth soccer), then go home. and after the game, everyone tells them what a good job they did and how everyone is all impressed, even though it's not true. plus, they usually just tie (whereas in youth soccer they might not keep score), so everybody's a winner! yay! oh, it's so heartwarming!

then they all eat some orange slices and go home with a false sense of accomplishment.

You care an awful lot about not caring about soccer. People talk about soccer being boring because of the low scores, but in your two examples there were 10 goals, that's not too bad. Maybe you feel such a need to abuse soccer because you're a big fan of an equally boring sport despite it's US popularity (oh actually maybe two equally boring sports.)

i've been "caring" a lot about soccer lately because every time i turn on the tv i'm assaulted by commercials telling me it's so great. and soccer is extremely boring. yes, in those 2 games there were 10 goals, but the point is both games ended in a tie. actual sports don't end in a tie. everyone got all irate a few years back when the mlb all star game ended in a tie, and that's just an exhibition game.
