There is a reason that 4 year olds can play in a soccer league but most basketball teams don't start until kids are much older. In economic terms, soccer has low barriers to entry. In plain language, it's just not that hard.
Actually, soccer is extremely hard. That’s why there are so few goals in a game: Your only chance to score is through a well thought out and organized attack that anticipates and takes into account the defensive moves and strategy of the enemy. Most of the time, you fail. You have to understand why the attack failed, and how to correct your attacking strategy for your next attempt. If anyone thinks this is boring then that is most likely because they do not understand what’s going on on the pitch…

I refuse to watch anything involving players on a "pitch" that isn't black.
