Living in North America I'm getting more and more into NFL every game I watch, it's a great sport. However, it will never replace Soccer for me. The Soccer game is end to end, attacking, flowing skillful play. The Lions game has been on 12 mins and no one has moved 10 yards yet. I've saw more commercials than game time at this point. Soccer is uninterupted for the entire 45 mins of each half.
Do the hardcore NFL fans really give soccer a chance?

I'm with you Ross. I used to be big into NFL, played fantasy, the whole 9. But after being introduced to soccer back when the US was playing in the World Cup in South Korea I was hooked. Years later I tried to watch a football game and was bored stiff.. nothing but huddles, time-outs, video reviews, challenges.. and all just to slowly inch up the field. I'll take the flowing uninterrupted nature of soccer any day.
