It's a good solid sport with lots of strategy and tactics, that's probably it. Just because it's not obvious and the score doesn't go all the way up to 90 doesn't mean it's not fun to watch.
I've been a real soccer "fan" in my late teens. Real fan - one that never misses a game, stands (no sitting) in the fan sector and will fight for the team. Great times.
