    More Boring: World Cup Final - All Star Game?
    Both games no scoring and no scoring chances. Nice strikeouts though. Everyone is like a statue.

    baseball is super boring 70% of the time if you don't have a team rooting interest or lots of $ on the game.... even then it can be very dull

      All-Star game more boring by a mile! Much more on the line in the WC, that's what made that much more interesting.

        Baseball is the most boring sport to watch.

          Home field advantage for the World Series was on the line in the All-Star Game.

          Who even won the World Cup anyway???

            I'll bet you anything that a hell of a lot more people know who won the World Cup than the All-Star game.

              Judging by the ratings of the all star game it wasnt a popular choice . As an avid soccer fan the WC final was a terrible match. The baseball game was just pitching dominance and didnt bother me.

                      Baseball can never be boring. If there are home runs and scoring people love it. If there are strikeouts and no one reaches bases the pitchers are too good. I have never seen a boring game in my life.

                        they were probably equally as boring but the fact the all-star game is a exhibition and the WC is well the WC i say WC final was much worse....

                                You lose!

                                Served in Germany from 1987-1990 and actually got caught up in some soccer riots in 1990 in Frankfurt. My fondest memory of soccer....running away from riot geared up Polizei. Good times!

                                        Have to say the entire World Cup. The 3 day break of the All Star sucks also. But WC was worse.

                                          Granted it wasnt a great world cup.....sorry to say to all you culture sensitive folks but the vuvuzela had more to do with souring my world cup than the games. The refereeing in total was abysmal, but if you cant hear the Dutch Germans and English sing during matches, its a big piece of atmosphere missing. Both these sports are like chess--if youve tried it you probably like it or understand why others do. If not then you probably see it as death. Personally, neither was boring

                                            Neither game was boring. You guys need to appreciate games that don't have lots of scoring. Would a 4-3 in the WC and an 11-9 All-star game would have been better? Remember these are world-class defenses and pitchers you are trying to score on. Good "D" is also fun to watch (specially if you bet the unders).

                                                I think the ratings comparison between the 2 is the tale of the tape.
                                                A boring ass WC final is infinitatly more exciting than an asslicking gathering with joe buck calling it. Actually, watching some grade school kids playing steal the bacon is much more apealing than a MLB All Star game.

                                                    That's why I watched it on the Spanish channel. Their HD wasn't as good as ESPN's but the way they call the game isn't even close to the way those fucks in ESPN do it. Even if you can't understand Spanish it's still better lol.

                                                    Did anyone listen to the WC on ESPN radio? They had an annoying little **** with an accent that was just torture to listen to.

                                                      Anyone who uses ratings to justify their point is a fukking moron.
