Anyone who thinks soccer is boring doesn’t understand the game. Like most people that grew up in the US over the last fifty years, I played everything but soccer throughout school and after. Basketball was my first love but soccer is my true love. The game is like human chess and the athletic ability required to play at a high level is on par with any sport. Speed, agility and endurance are paramount but to be truly good the player needs to out think his/her opponents. The coach has less impact because the play is continual. Players need to make adjustments collectively. Played well it is beautiful. Played poorly it’s kickball. Sadly, the US men are not playing a beautiful version yet but the the US women- who are dedicated athletes in comparison to any- play at the highest level. Hats off to the ladies.
They can zoom in and you can see some people maneuvering a ball around with no context, or they can zoom out and you see ants arranged on a field.
Sorry but you are clueless about US women’s soccer.
They routinely get trounced by 17 year old boys teams they play in friendly matches to prepare for their ‘very high level’ matches.
Go to a good high school boy’s game and you see better soccer.
