Every professional sport takes insane amounts of skill and groomed talent, quit being ignorant. I have the same argument about baseball with foreign people who don't get it and think it's some talentless hacks hitting and catching the ball when in reality it's probably the hardest of all sports to be "pro" good at.

I have played in my life in competitive sports, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball and even Bowling. Soccer is the least difficult of all the sports I mentioned. As well as most boring to play, hence the reason I quit playing and never got into watching. Its a freaking track meet with a ball. Hockey, they score ALOT more goals then soccer and the goal is one tenth the size. Why, you ask? Cause Hockey players are talented. They don't just run and kick a ball. Soccer is the Nascar of team sports. Right foot down, turn left.
