The point was that just because a game is 0-0, it doesn't mean its always boring.

Now go away. Its time to report your trolling.
Wow.

You soccer fanatics are really thin skinned.

Someone dares to criticize the game and be a realist about its popularity in the U.S, and you want to call them names and report them.

If you wish to live in an incubator, move to a hospital.

Most American sports are high scoring though.. it's different with football, a 0-0 in football is not like a 0-0 would be in baseball/American football (although that would be pretty impossible)

When you throw out mindless labels, they quickly lose any meaning.

You are a troll because you refuse to engage in a serious debate.

Instead you resort to ad hominem attacks.

Is soccer really immune from criticism?

If you knew one iota about soccer you'd know there's plenty of critics in the sport. For one, the main governing body is a corrupt joke, the diving among some players has gotten too much to handle, the insane amounts of money has flattened the performances of some top athletes and so on and so on and so on.

Those are serious debates. Arguing about whether you think 0-0 is boring or not is not a serious debate.

The MLS thread and the style of US soccer is also a heavy debate among fans. You going in there and saying that you're glad the WC is over so Americans can return to their senses is not serious debate.

There is no debate as to whether you're a troll or not. The serious answer is you clearly are.
