see that is what most people think. in fact, i think the same thing if i turn on an MLS game. they are pretty boring unless you are a supporter for one of the teams. BUT if you watch teams that play attractive football, then it becomes a beautiful thing to watch, even on tv - especially on tv.

If you actually want to see the beautiful game i would suggest you watch some games played by: (in no particular order)

Arsenal - go you gunners!
Barcelona
Manchester United
Real Madrid
Sevilla
AC Milan (although the italian leagues can be annoying with their diving)
pretty much anything in Brazil.

Avoid MLS unless you are already a fan. It is definitely a kick and chase long ball league, but they are improving slowly.

As far as the 1-0 thing goes, yeah it happens. 2-1 is more typical though. But have you ever watched an amazing NFL game that ended at 14-7? the only difference is the increment in which points are awarded.
