WORST IDEA 6/18/10: Spending a morning watching soccer

Forgetting how dreadfully boring soccer actually is, I rearranged my whole morning to be home to have the Unites States/Slovenia match on. The game just started and, well, nothing continues to happen. The announcer, some Brittish fellow, seems very excited and there's a Slovenian player rolling around on the ground after getting elbowed, but mostly, a lot of nothing. Soccer will only catch on in the U.S. if we incorporate drinking or maybe give the goalies some sort of blunt weapon.
