If you could choose just one sporting event

As a soccer/football fan I'm supposed to say the World Cup final. But international soccer just doesn't compare for quality and excitement with club soccer IMO. Maybe that is because I'm American and our team is about 3 more World Cups away from even coming close to a respectable performance. I'd rather go to an Arsenal vs a major rival game.

No doubt about this one:
Tennis, a grand slam.
US Open, Wimbeldon or the French open.
The Australian open isn't as good, but you'd get to see Australia!

It'll cost you a fortune, but it is certainly worth it!

Hey, come on now. Jozy, Edu, Adu, etc.? We've got a chance for a repeat of 2002 within the next 2 World Cups. But though I love our national team more than my club team, I do agree that overall quality and excitement are better on the club level because those players play with each other all year. So yeah, my dream scenario actually takes place in a week and a half in Moscow, the Champions League final. Chelsea, my club team love vs. Man U, the team I couldn't possibly hate more. What I would give to be there...

Well, if your club team is Chelsea I can understand why you would prefer international matches. 90 minutes of Chelsea's percentage ball and I want to slit my wrists.

I go to our USMNT games when they're out west and I enjoy them, but the quality is nowhere near where it should be.

Edu... ok
Adu... could be great if he'd quit believing he was great
Altidore... head to Europe and get some polish. Skill is abundant
Bradley... Oh yeah
Feilhaber... The makings are there
Demerit... How that fucker Onyewu even gets a start ahead of him I'll never understand.

The future is bright but the national think tank is fucked.
