LOL, I know. It cracks me up when haters say 'soccer is boring because there is no action' or 'it's too slow.' Soccer, basketball, and hockey are three sports where there is near constant play/action going on. Not football or baseball both of which the games would be significantly shorter if there was less scratching and stepping out of the box. Not to mention laid out on the field or in a huddle.
The real kicker is when haters try to argue that soccer players are not that much better conditioned athletes than football or baseball players. I have to mention to them that BOTH football and baseball players spend at least half the game ON THE BENCH or at least on the sidelines or dugout. Whereas, in soccer the
majority play 90 minutes and sometimes 120.
