[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 298583"] I grew up playing soccer. You don't get to know and love soccer if all you care about is points. Basketball is your sport if you want to see tons and tons of scores/points. Soccer's allure is in the athleticism (try being fit enough to run around for 45 minutes without subbing out like hockey, or having breaks in the action longer than like 5 seconds to throw the ball in) and the in game plays. Speed, seeing and creating passing lanes, moving without the ball - those are what make the sport great. I totally get how stupid it is that a game can end 0-0 or 1-0 and how that can turn fans off. But until you stop caring about that as much I don't think you'll get the true beauty of soccer. And I also get how stupid all the flops are and writhing on the field because someone said something about your mama. I think the men need to take a page out of the women's soccer handbook - play tough as nails and through the blood, don't be a 3 year old. I wish refs would call more penalties for flops or at least yellow cards to make the point. [/QUOTE]
