If you don't enjoy the game without any goals being scored, then you clearly don't understand the game. The Italy - Germany game was fascinating even without the last minute goals. Some games are better than others, like any sport. At least in soccer, unlike football and baseball, the players don't spend 90% of the game standing around on the pitch.

There are some games that ‘need a goal’, as they say. Italy-Germany was certainly not one of those. Both teams were going for it.

Plus that game demonstrated precisely why the low scoring nature of football is a benefit. There’s no feeling like getting that precious goal in the dying minutes of the game.
