To truly understand it you can start by not calling it soccer but FOOTBALL. You gotta play it to understand it. The scoring is exciting 'cause it happens rarely, not every 2 fucking minutes. And it's always about tricking the opponent, you gotta make the opponent think the ball is going one place when it actually goes to the other. I don't expect you to understand it, but when 80 or 90 % of the world population love it and you don't, there are some pretty good chances you are missing something and not the other way around.
