Why UEFA Champions League is so boring compared with Libertadores de América?

NOO way is that true! I mean Libertadores isn't boring either but in UEFA you've got teams like Barca, AC Milan, Lyon, Man U, Chelsea.......with great players battling it out. In Libertadores, it's exciting but it doesn't have that spark like UEFA. But I like watching Libertadores coz sometimes, the most random teams win like in 2004 Once Caldas won....i was like wtf? hahah\n\ni like libertadores though. it's fun to watch really. My favorites are Boca Jrs and Corinthians.

Soccer is fun to play but boring to watch.

Well for starters, the US (as stated before) played HOME MATCHES against teams like Panama, Jamaica, the Bahamas, etc.  So its easy picken's for them.  Just look at their pathetic 1-0 win over Poland in germany (which i was at) and the terrible 1-1 draw AT Scotland.  They cannot play away a/g top Euro competition.  They get points from home games versus easy regional teams, thats it.  Its the FIFA system thats flawed.  They WILL NOT have a good world cup, i guarantee it, they should be ranked 15 at best.\n\nAnd by the way, the MLS doesnt "suck", its only 10 years old, give it some time.

if running back and forth after a ball is boring then all sports are boring because when you think about it...all sports involve chasing a ball\n\namericans don't have what it takes to play soccer. In fact, USA is the only country in the whole world who doesn't like soccer. What does that tell you?

The main reason why soccer has not exploded yet is that the average american's attention span is very small.  Football, baseball, etc. are broken down into different plays, quarters, innings, etc.  There are breaks for commercials entertainment and so on.  But soccer only has two halves and the teams play for 90 minutes.  The play does not stop unless there is a foul and a yellow or red card is given.  Soccer can feel boring to most americans who simply don't see the art in it.  That being said soccer can explode here if the USA teams do well.  Soccer has drastically become more popular since the USA women's soccer team did so well around 2000.  Now that Mia Hamm and others are retiring the men now have to shoulder the burden of carrying on soccer.  If the US men's team win the World Cup at any time in the next 50 years then yes soccer will become more popular.

The champions league is europes premier competition where europes best teams play and depending on the countries uefa coefficent depends how may places they get in the competition, the top european leagues get 4 entries down to the lesser nations getting just 1.  The uefa cup is a step down from this competition where teams that have performed less well in the league or won the domestic cup will be entered.

Dude i agree with u 100% soccer sucks i can't stand to watch the damn sport when it is on t.v. i skip it and go to another channel. And how r the idiots who answered this question saying baseball and american football are boring both football and baseball are 1,000,000 times better than soccer because they r packed with action but soccer is like a 2 hr. long game and they only score once i mean come on how can u watch that.

Buffon is much better. Cech is overrated. Viva Italia.

It is like that to keep the atmosphere up to a high level. If it was held every year then it would be boring and players might tangle their clubs with their international duties.

Most Ameicans are into high scoring games (NBA, NFL). Another reason is that th media has the Fifa World Cup in the back burner. And also, because Americans think the sport is boring. The irony of this, they watch golf. Go figure. \n\nGO USA, win, lose, or draw!

Of course the other first division leagues are better.  Those teams have been around for a hundred years.  The MLS is only 10 years old.  Give it time before you start trying to compare it to the EPL.  It may not be as pretty as the games from other countries, but it is still soccer and still great to watch.  It is also helping move the game along and make the US a more competitive national team. No complaints about it here.

Both teams were already knocked out of the Uefa Champions' League this year.\n\nNeither of the teams were in the Uefa cup either.\n\nSo I don't know which game you mean ?!?!?!?!

No I dont think their less important, but I think they are more larger as League. an other word MORE MONEY. I mean EPL is soo huge its not about soccer anymore its all about $$$$. They don't play good soccer like other leagues or fancy soccer i should say. Its all about winning. But if u look a league like La Liga its all about the players and having fun, sure its all about winning and money but not as much as EPL. Why do u think Ronaldinho wants to play for Barca? he said cuz he wanted somewhere he can develope more as a player. \n\nthank
