I've never understood the Soccer is boring mentality
Kind of a ridiculous idea considering that it is the most watched and most played game in the world, by a long shot. I'm convinced that the "soccer is boring" meme is something created by american professional sports leagues and TV networks to keep it from overtaking american football. After all, american football has so little actual ball-in-play time (average of 11 minutes per 3 hour game) that they can pack in tons of commercials...they've even changed the rules over time to allow even more commercial breaks. In comparison, soccer has almost no time for commercials...one brief half-time break and that is it.
