Sad to say I don't disagree with your last two points (which is why I think simulation in football is such a cancer on the sport, no matter how many excuses people have), but i vehemently disagree about it being boring. This WC is definitely a let down in terms of entertainment, but this sport has produced some amazingly magical moment, and at it's best, can be tremendously exciting. It might not be as fast paced as hockey, but the build-up of plays can be just as exciting....at least to a lot of us (ie, a good chunk of the planet Earth).
Btw, I don't think it's odd that many hockey fans like soccer. At it's root, the two sports are not that different. A rectangular playing surface, two goals at opposite ends, and the intent is to put something in the other guy's net.
Sure beats watching baseball or golf in the hockey off-season.
