there are no regular breaks in the action other than halftime in soccer, unlike other media-friendly sports such as football, basketball, baseball, etc. Despite many people getting fired up about the world cup, I don't ever see soccer as currently played to be viable here due to the fact it is not well suited for constant commercial interuption. And without the TV, well. . .
I think this might be the reason why it hasn't caught on here, more so than the fact that it's "too slow" and low scoring--the explanation I've often heard. Does this make sense?
