That does not change the fact that Soccer is an extremely boring "spectator sport". There are a lot of sports that are a lot of fun to play but boring as hell to watch and soccer happens to be one of those. Ninety minutes of running the ball up and down the field with almost no scoring at all, and that is if there is even a goal scored. If you are not playing, you may as well be napping. If you really are interested, you can catch the 3.6 seconds of scoring in the game on ESPN's Sportscenter.
I will grant you that Soccer is a hell of a lot of fun to play, but it simply is nothing to watch.

Poll after poll has shown that people like watching a good pitching dual to a homerun fest. You don't think that throwing a ball through hoop doesn't get monotonous? Any serious sports fan will tell you that it's about the intricacies of any sport that make it truly mesmerizing.
But, sure; if we're talking about games for the typical unenlightened dumbass, maybe soccer is not going to be the sport of choice. Listen to the differences in soccer anouncers and basketball announcers. It's laughable, the chasm of sophistication.
Basketball sucks... in fact, I have found the NBA to be the cure for insomnia. Another game that sucks to watch is baseball. The difference between the announcers? Yeah, soccer announcers all have one thing in common. They can draw out the word "Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll" for what seems like an eternity. Of course, they do that in the failed attempt to make people think there is actually something exciting actually going on for the spectators. Face it, as a spectator sport your game sucks tomcat tit.

That's the Spanish broadcasts. Watch and EPL broadcast and you'll see the highest class of broadcaster in any sport.
