I think soccer is an ok sport, but for me, the biggest drawback is that if I have to watch a sporting event, I like to hear actual sounds from the game. Not only commentators and roaring fans--I wanna hear the ball being kicked around, feet shuffling in the grass, the grunts and groans as the players fight for possession, I wanna hear the sound of the goalie blocking a shot in mid air. Without some audible feedback from the ground level, it's just not quite as fun to watch on tv, IMHO.
