To me, they mostly take turns losing the ball, and seem to take shots on goal very infrequently. This, of course, leads to very low scoring games. Great, 0-1 with 5 shots taken in an hour and a half.

Don’t get me wrong, when there’s a brilliant drive that comes screaming down the field, and it culminates with a powerful strike on goal (even if it misses or is blocked) — that’s exciting. My problem is that this constitutes like .07% of games I watch. I watched like 10 games during the World Cup and it was mostly an exercise in frustration.

Of course, I am into MMA, so maybe my standard for action is a bit too high.
