Agreed! I never have it on my TV, even when England play, (im british) or when Spain was in the final ( I live in Spain) and Im amazed by the amount of people are shocked when I say I wont be watching, I dont watch it any other time so why should I watch it then... bores me to tears...

Same here. People here were stunned when I said I wasnt watching the Euros even though I Ireland qualified.
The number of times that US woman team have brought home a Olympic metal in soccer needs to be taken into account here.
The ladies have collected ....gold medals three times and had a silver one time. So they are helping the cover the countries debt.
If soccer is not your sport, OK. But having played and coached it since 1970, Bain.....running 90 minutes on a 120 by 70 yard field is not as easy as many would like it. The athletes are usually in very fit condition to handle the running the sport requires.
Well obviously most of the world don't agree with you. It is the most popular sport on the planet! It is a very skillfull sport that is probably too classy and complicated for most Americans.
And we all call it football because they actually use their feet and it has been around far longer than that boring sport you lot call football. They very rarely kick the ball in that, it takes 4 hours to play a one hour game because of all the stoppages, and they wear so much padding.
Football is the most fascinating sport in the world. The real football (you can call it soccer if you want).
There are this guys from a new rich and silly country who developped this barbarian and boring sport called American Football wich is very entertaining if you have half of your brain functionating.
The US women's soccer team is so successful because women in other countries don't play soccer. I do agree that soccer shouldn't be in the Olympics, simply because the Olympic Games shopuld be the very pinnacle of the sports featured in them. Which isn't the case in soccer, tennis, basketball, road cycling and a varietry of other relative newcomers to trhe Olympic scene.
