First of all, Soccer is a LOW SCORING GAME.
Most matches average 2 goals for the winning team.
In other words it is basically a defensive game, and it takes luck to score goals.

Observe the 2nd goal scored by Croatia against England. It was a head deflection which went 30+ feet right at the kicking foot of a team mate who kicked in a close distance goal.

And then again if you have no NFL Football, No golf courses, No Pizza joints on every corner, No movie industry, few TV sitcoms, No Baseball stadiums, few bowling alleys, not many singers who are popular world wide (Beatles, ABBA, Karen Carpenter class), No cruise industry, what can young men do except play a cheap sport like soccer?

No cruise industry
???? Croatia is so crowded from tourists coming from Cruise Ships during the day, it's one of Europe's top tourist destinations.
