After all of the hullabaloo, who here still thinks soccer/futbol is an absolute bore?

I was watching the Oscar winning film, The Secret in Their Eyes (2009), a thoroughly highly polished and well made police procedural that also was quite boring because of the slow pacing and even duller characters. Struggling through the slow drying cement of a film when an hour into it, the story went to ... of all places... a big time soccer match.

That broke my spirit completely so I had to shut the movie off before exposing myself to a even more painful death by boredom experience!

Evidently my smidge is bigger than yours.

Also, clearly you have to include the endzones in the length of an NFL field, which makes the field 120 yards long.

Will Brazil miss the goal with 2014 World Cup?
Brazilians are concerned that mismanagement of the World Cup and the Olympics Games will squander the country's chance to build needed infrastructure and improve government.
