Hockey: same game only a smaller pitch and less players.

I’m not a fan of either but, I’d rather fall asleep to a hockey game than a Futbal match.

“Hockey: same game only a smaller pitch and less players.”

the difference is that in hockey if you fake injury you are assessed a delay of game penalty, in soccer you are awarded a penalty kick

Personally I never understood how anyone can watch baseball, golf, or American “football”. 99% of the game is milling around, the actual game part of the game is like 3 minutes long, they just stretch it to four hours for commercials. I do not watch that stuff for the same reason I do not watch Curling. Cut out the standing around and give me the 3 minutes of actual gameplay.

I mean I understand American football/baseball as a school activity for kids, gets them away from the XBOX and whatnot, but an adult sport? Seems a little silly.

Hockey, soccer, basketball, NASCAR, atleast most of the game/race people are actually doing stuff.
