Soccer is boring.

95 minutes of gameplay and a score of 0-0? What is so fun about watching a bunch of girly men run around for an hour and a half? I sometimes wonder what in the -blam!- the world is thinking. This is the most popular sport in the world, and but it is so boring that I fall asleep watching it? But then I realized that the reason the world loves it is because they can't afford to play a real sport.

You know, like every other major sport that uses a time keeping system[/quote]The time that is spent for injury and what not is added after the 90 minutes.[/quote]I think that's a dumb system. I'm sorry for being so blunt, but I just don't think that it's an effective way to do things. Having to add every second you miss because of out of bounds seems like it's doomed for error. [quote][quote]2. Offsides is a stupid rule. How dare that offensive player run past the defense so that he can score. That's just cheating. It's not like it's the defenders responsibility to guard him[/quote] If the sport had no offside rule,it would be broken.The teams would just send everyone to the opposing teams goal area.[/quote]If they sent everyone to one side of the field, then entire defense would be there to. Why don't NBA teams just have everyone camped under the basket? Why don't NHL teams just have everyone huddled around the two goals. It wouldn't work. [quote][quote]3. Get up you whiners, and stop acting like you got shot in the leg. You were tripped, get over it. It's not strategy, it's being a -blam!-.[/quote]Agreed,[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY9tFEbY_IU]But that's not always the case.[/url] [quote]4. That goal is -blam!- huge, learn how to shoot.[/quote]Seriously? You know how many defenders you have to get through just to get a shot on goal?The keeper is also there as well,I can see you have never even played the sport. [/quote]It would be easier to get by those defenders if there wasn't a rule preventing you from standing a foot behind them before the ball got to you. I understand your point, and I know it's difficult cause I can't play shoot for crap when I play (can hardly pass with any semblance of accuracy), but still, they're pros and that goal is huge. Also, because it's so difficult, shouldn't they start putting up camera to make sure goals go in? Just put them on the sidelines so that the refs can check them, or have a team upstairs do that. There really isn't an excuse for this not being the case yet.
