Futbol, better than you think! (futbol=soccer)

So Im sitting here watching US soccer for the first time in a long while, in World Cup qualifying. Of course its halftime and the game is tied O-O. At least I'm finally getting my soccer fix, after Euro 2008. I cant get enough of it. I've only been a serious fan of soccer for the past five years or so, and now I'm completely addicted. If i wanna use one word to describe good soccer I use graceful. YEah I know its obviously is also a very physical sport at times, but the finesse side of soccer is what I love. Baseball, "American Football", basketball and hockey all emphasize skill and finesse less. Its more about brute strength and power in the states which I guess applies to a lot of American ideals. Plus all soccer players , or at least most....Ronaldo....., are world class athletes. You don't see any fat guys in soccer, to be blunt. I love watching the top players in world soccer. The Christiano Ronaldo's and Lionel Messi's with a ball at their feet are really artists, for lack of a better word. Soccer really is the "beautiful game". Yeah its a huge cliche now, but its undeniable. And yet for some reason American's find baseball more entertaining. baseball. baseball............z...z....z...z...oh sorry, fell asleep just thinking about baseball! My hatred of baseball is gonna have to be discussed in another post. All I can say is come on! America! Watch more soccer! At least one of your kids play freakin soccer! You know you like screaming at those soccer games parents!!!!! At least do so MLS will make more money and actually get some good players so us 15 American soccer fans can watch some decent soccer on a regular baseball.
