I feel the same way about baseball. It's all about what you like and sometimes where you grew up. We are a hardcore soccer family and were incredibly excited to have the world cup here only to be crushed by the costs involved. Way out of reach for anyone in our family. So despite actually living in a town hosting matches (Seattle) we will be watching it on TV like everyone else (honestly I'm surprised they haven't made every match a pay per view and I have no doubt they considered it).
