I will try and keep watching until I see what it is so many love about the game...and its always cool to have live events during the week. Just glad the US Open starts on Thursday as well.

Do you have a team to cheer for? If you don't, watching any sport is tough. I don't like any NBA, NFL or MLB team so watching some playoff games in those sports wouldn't hook me.
Stop watching for goals, football isn't as high scoring as sports in the US. The global outreach of the game and the passion for is what sets this sport apart. It's amazing how passionate everyone is about it, like hockey in Canada. There is no sport in the US that means what football does to 98% of the world or hockey to us Canucks. If you were in a country while their team played in the WC, you'd be floored by how into it the whole nation is and how all cities shut down to watch the games.
