    World Cup is like the Olympics: A few things I don't usually watch as a little diversion during baseball season, plus I'm curious to see who does win.

    Will watch the most interesting matchups but only if I'm home. I won't go to a bar at lunch to catch a half. I will watch the semis and final if I can.

    Pissed that Germany and Argentina are playing the same time as the Wimbledon women's final next Saturday.

    I'm not sure pure eyeballs would convince the suits as much as 18-45 target demos, but soccer tends to do well there anyway.

    I'm following it, but not watching it, if that makes any sense.

    Especially since second-rate soccer countries like England and the USA have been kicked to the curb.

    My favorite thing about America's "Soccer is boring" crowd is that a vast majority of them likely find the NFL Draft intriguing.

    And yes, I will most definitely be watching.

    I'm watching as well.

    I wouldn't walk across the street to watch and MLS game and American soccer fans are, for the most part, insufferable douchebags but I do enjoy the World Cup.

    Watched both yesterday. The England/Germany game was quite engaging--one of those matches that would silence soccer critics and complainers, like myself.

    Will definitely follow the big name games--Germany, Argentina, Brazil. Ura/Para/guay and Ghana? Not so much.

    Rooting for Argentina now--seem like a likable group with some personality.

    I'll watch as long as the South American teams' fans keep painting themselves and bouncing around in bikini tops.

    I would rather watch preseason NFL than the World Cup final.
