You sit there for 90 minutes watching 250 (or more) changes of possession while somebody accidentally gets in the accidental right spot to accidentally kick the ball into the goal accidentally. Then, when this accidental goal happens, you get to slide on the grass on your knees for 10 feet with your arms raised as if you did something tremendous rather than accidentally.
I've always wanted to see what the "coach" of all this mayhem actually tells the players during time outs. What the hell does he actually draw on his clipboard when the game after all is the occasional product of someone being in the right place at the right time, and doing whatever that feat is maybe once or twice in 90 minutes?
Do they actually pay the coach? And if so, why or for what?
Ummmm....just so you know....there are no time outs in soccer...I have officiated both soccer and football at the highest levels, and I will tell you soccer is much more of a demand than most people think. Having said that, I also understand that it is like watching paint for most. But if you really know the game, you understand why it is called the beautiful sport. I would personally much rather watch an American Football Game, however...
Personally I think soccer would greatly benefit just from reducing the field size, at least to our football size. It is way too big and allows far too much freedom for the few players on it to stop action.

Accidental goals? Eh, will have to tell David Beckham about that and all of those goals he has hit into the net from a fixed position in the field.
I think I watched an accidental no-hitter once, none of those up at bat could hit the ball that the pitcher just happened to throw.
I think I watched Tom Brady accidentally throw the ball which was accidentally caught by the receiver and accidentally resulted in a touchdown.
