Close games in any sport tend to be inherently more interesting. In soccer, lots of games are close. Were there any goals during the last 20 minutes of today's game? Nope, but I was spent after watching it as there was off the charts tension. Concede a goal and you're out of the tournament. Don't concede and you are through to the next round. Heck of a lot more interesting to me than watching the average basketball game where scoring means almost nothing, or football where the average NFL game has ~11 - 18 minutes of action and 50 - 60 minutes of commercials.

To each her / his own. Regardless, Go U.S.A.!!!
I find that people that like hockey can relate better to soccer.
