Once you learn the basics, the beautiful game is incredibly exciting.
To me it's like the difference between watching a football game and knowing nothing beyond "those two teams keep hitting each other and that guy's trying to throw a ball" and watching it and knowing the strategy, how good the line is to keep that pocket open just 2 seconds longer, how the defense is trying to anticipate the next play.
Soccer's like that, just with fewer stops in the action and less padding.

I agree- however I think soccer in person is so much better than on TV, whereas I would rather watch a football game on TV than see it live.
My boys love to go to college soccer games in the fall- it's a great and inexpensive outing for us and we always have fun.
