OK, before you start insulting me of discrimination and prejudices; the title's main purpose is to draw attention. 
Besides, what you are about to read is merely the opinion of ONE American and not the entire people... Remember that!
There are times when we support the Americans and there are times we laugh at them. The latter occurs more often and in particular when it concerns the yankee experts who can completely sum up the pros and cons of all players in all sports.
Or not, as the case may be.
From Raymond J. Keating in The Washington Times.
“Let me add that prior to this year's World Cup, I could never really figure out why I disliked soccer. It's not the pastoral nature of the game...Maybe my problem with soccer arose from my political and economic conservatism...It had been my suspicion that socialist nations embraced soccer because the game amounted to 90 minutes of boredom broken up by a few fleeting moments of excitement, and that probably reflected life under socialism. However, I like to think of myself as a more independent thinker than to spurn soccer without more of a reason than that my fellow conservatives have done so and lefties embrace it.”
“Alas, though, the World Cup did not win over this sports fan in the end. Nor, I suspect, will soccer ever win over a large swath of the American public. But I have finally figured out why apparently most other Americans and I find soccer so boring.”
“It became clear to me that soccer offers neither speed nor strategic thinking. Soccer is not much of a mental game at all. It is more than just simple - after all, there are interesting simple sports, like horse racing. Soccer is simplistic. In particular, play development in soccer proceeds at a glacial pace and then rarely culminates in anything terribly interesting.
That soccer is simplistic goes a long way in explaining why soccer is so widely played by young children in the United States.”
“Can the rest of the world be wrong about soccer? Of course they can, and they are. We Americans do not turn away from soccer out of some kind of jingoism or xenophobia. Our rejection of soccer lies in America's exceptional pursuit of interesting challenges.”
I'm speechless.....
