I think you need to be drunk when watching it. It numbs the pain the boredom inflicts on the viewer. My husband likes it because he can go to the bathroom and not miss anything.
I think that when somebody understands the game, they get more enjoyment out of it. If you don’t understand the rules, it’s a bunch of gibberish. That goes for any sport. I find most of them are enjoyable the more I understand the rules and how to play.
If you understand the game, you realize that every single touch of the ball, every position of every player, is an integral part of the game. This goes for football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, hockey, etc. Soccer is no different.
Shoot, card games aren’t fun if you don’t understand how to play them. Pretty much anything in life isn’t fun if you don’t know know or understand the rules and see no point in different strategies to win a game.
