So roughly 4+% of games will end in a 0-0 tie? That's about an infinite amount more than NFL, NHL, NBA, or MLB will have in a season. Not to mention all the 1-1 and 2-2 ties. ;-)
Soccer highlights are awesome, and I love seeing them on ESPN. The guys are crazy athletic and some of the things they can do are unbelievable.
Soccer games themselves are largely boring. It's like the old saying about war -- soccer is 85+ minutes of boring and then 5 minutes of sheer terror/excitement. I tried to get into it during the last World Cup, but the way the game is officiated absolutely infuriated me. So the ref can take a goal away from the USA and then doesn't even HAVE TO SAY WHY?!? Kind of lost me at that point.
