re: I was going to post this on the Soccer Board...but it's too good for that.

It's extremely dull to me - very little scoring, very few opportunities to score. It's an exercise in frustration to watch some teams play when you see the same pattern repeat over and over again - forward advances the ball, sends to the other side of the field, then kick it back to a fricking defender or a midfielder who's closer to the goal than the middle of the field

To me, this sounds like every fricking sport with endzones or goals.

By the way, I really do not understand the low-scoring argument that much.

In baseball, each team scores an average of 4 times per game.

In football, each team scores an average of 3 times per game.

In soccer, each team scores an average of 1.5 times per game.

I really do not see that huge of a difference. One sport is just multiplied by 7.

I haven't even read this thread yet, but I'm going to take a guess that it goes like this.

Soccer sucks, European Vaginas!
