Why is it that everyone who complains about low-scoring in soccer don’t complain about hockey scores?

I feel the same way about hockey, but we’re specifically talking soccer here. Hockey scores could be higher, but those games typically wind up 4-3, 5-4, etc. There are times when the scores are lower. Same as in baseball. You have the 11-10 games, and the 1-0 games.

It’s just that soccer is 0-0 or 1-0 every. single. day.

Hockey is a faster game than soccer, plus you have more shots on net in hockey than you do in soccer. People would not complain about the scoring in soccer if there were more offensive chances.

When Greece had the Olympics 2008 and baseball was one of the events, I remember Greeks commenting on how boring baseball was. My cousins would ask me how is it possible that such a slow, boring sport could be America's pastime.

Umm, because hockey is so much faster and exciting than soccer. Oh, and hockey has put an end (for the most part) of player taking dives that makes soccer unwatchable. IMHO.
