Are you sure about that?

And I already explain why the view boring comes from?

For Americans Basketball would be boring, if European Basketball was all they knew....

European Basketball isn't boring. Trust me.

I do. In NBA they play with faster tempo. than in Europe, but it can be interesting.

And what I am saying is that NBA is like the EPL of Soccer!

So we don't have that in America as far as Soccer goes, we have crappy MLS that is like the euro league of basketball.

I am sure that if MLS was as good as the EPL, not many Americans would call soccer boring.

Imo the difference between NBA and Euroleague isn't that big as EPL and MLS.

Well football in US just doesn't have that tradition as it has in Europe.

justin, just see it. While all the world like football, you love "american football" and think "soccer" is boring.

You also love baseball, barely known around the world, and Formula Indy and Nascar instead Formula 1 ( most popular race championship around the world ).

It seems that you american are the "wrong" people, not the rest of the world.

"American football" is considered a sport, but its strange, people play it with an armor, and usually the players are as fat as elephants.

NBA, crazy fast tempo, gun-ho style.

EPL similar.

NBA high paying ridiculous players, hence best players in the world.

EPL similar.

Now when MLS gets to a similar standard, then we can talk if Soccer is not view as boring by Americans...

True till a certain extend.

But here answer this:

Would you enjoy watching a New Zealand vs Italy game?

Or Brazil vs. Argentina?

And why?
