RE: Soccer Will Not Become a Top Sport in the U.S. Anytime Soon, So Just Enjoy the Game

in #sports7 years ago

I used to make fun of soccer as the sport where nothing happens. Then I would go and watch Football and Baseball. I think the gap is being closed in terms of "nothing" happening. Not because soccer is becoming more exciting, but because Baseball and Football seem to be Hell-bent on finding ways to slow down their games with seemingly endless replays and challenges. At least in soccer they run around while not scoring goals.

Sort:  

All the timeouts and delays and replays do slow it down a lot. I'd rather watch a "boring" soccer game than an NFL game between two nothing teams, that's for sure. The NFL plays something like 11 actual minutes of ball every hour with all of those pauses and commercial breaks.
