Soccer faces many of the same flaws that hockey faces. Both are fun in person but the way the game plays out is all too often anti-climatic, un-suspenseful, and boring. A three nothing lead in soccer with 40 minutes left is a snooze fest. Watching teams play keep away for twenty minutes is painful. You don't see a football team get to the opposing team's 40 yard line then retreat back to their own 10 so they can start over again and burn the clock some more.
