I wasn't jumping on the "soccer sucks" bandwagon so much as having someone who enjoys it explain the appeal...should I be looking for something from the sport that I don't see? Are you saying because we're not good at soccer that we hate it? For Brazil, Argentina, etc. is it a cultural thing? If they grew up with baseball the same way they grow up with soccer would that change their perception of it?

Yeah, and going to watch something as slow as a chess match has no appeal to me at all. Even if there is a 'skill' factor involved, i want to be entertained, not pay money and sit around waiting for a single piece if action. But yeah, i also am not trying to convince people into a certain sport. People have their own tastes which of course is fine.
Should you be looking for something in soccer which you don't see ?? Well, i think a large part of it will be the fact you aren't actually supporting any particular team might have something to do with it. Some games are quite boring, no doubt. So maybe you've watched a few boring games, where you didn't care who won anyway. Try making a bet on a team, and watch that game. I did it with the NHL the past few months there. Was much better watching it while actually following a team.
