Soccer, for me, just doesn't fall into either of those categories.

Maybe if they put land mines out there on the field? Maybe exploding goal posts or even the ability to smash another player with a stick or weapon of some type?

So, soccer fans, can you explain what it is that's so fascinating about the game?

I admit, I do like to watch a good soccer fight in the stands, but they don't have enough of those these days...
