It is just not understandable to most Americans/Canadians period. I hated the game my whole life till I came to live in Spain and learned how great it was. A great read is "How Soccer Explains the World" by Franklin Foer.
"The global power of soccer might be a little hard for Americans, living in a country that views the game with the same skepticism used for the metric system and the threat of killer bees, to grasp fully. But in Europe, South America, and elsewhere, soccer is not merely a pastime but often an expression of the social, economic, political, and racial composition of the communities that host both the teams and their throngs of enthusiastic fans."
