I love sports. I am from New York so I root for the Yankees, Giants, Knicks and Rangers. That covers the four 'major sports'. But I also like/appreciate tennis, golf, horse racing, the Olympics and so on. BUT WHAT IS THE APPEAL OF SOCCER (FUTBOL)?
Here's how I see the game: a bunch of guys in an open field kicking a ball around. Kick, kick, pass, clear, kick, pass, shuffle, deke, kick, pass, out of bounds...for 90 fucking minutes!! WTF? It's bad enough you have to do this repetitive, boring, monotonous ball-kicking for 45 minutes straight but then they come back and do it AGAIN?
Why isn't there more scoring? Why aren't they constantly attacking the net instead of endlessly passing the ball around mid-field? Why are people in the stands going APESHIT NON-STOP for 90 mins straight as if the game before them is the greatest experience they will ever have in their entire lifetimes? Can anyone explain the appeal of this sport to me
please?
We won't even get into 'nil-nil'. Seriously, I am not joking here: what is the fucking
appeal?
WHY do so many people around the world get so batshit crazy over kicking a ball around a gigantic field with so little meaningful action, scoring or tension? I do not get it.
