Sure I know what I'm missing. Soccer, fun to play, boring to watch.

Note: I also find Baseball fun to play, boring to watch. Basketball, well, that's just boring no matter how you look at it.
Football (REAL Football, you only get to use one name for your sport, or maybe we should start calling Football Soccer just to confuse things further) and Hockey on the other hand are great sports to watch.

They've been trying to cram Soccer down the throats of Americans ever since I can remember (30 some years). Believe me, we know what we are missing and we are missing it for a reason...because we don't like it. Even Volleyball is more exciting to watch and play.
