I just wish north americans would give the sport a chance, yah there is divers, but there is bad sportsmanship and cheap shots in other sports. I'm not a fan of the diving, but if you've ever had someone slide tackle you from behind it does hurt and I can see why some of the players roll around a bit.

I was in the "soccer if boring" camp until I gave it a try. A good sampling of high-quality matches in a tournament of such size and tradition that it dwarfs all others is a great indoctrination. Likewise, if you find baseball to be boring as hell, try watching a few games during a tight pennant chase or during a decent post-season series. As with soccer, the quality of play and the grandeur of the stage raise the spectacle to something that even casual fans can appreciate.
