The constant engagement between the players make it a more dynamic game for me to watch.
Basically the lack of even an anticipation of something meaningful happening on the pitch is what I have a problem with. Hockey & baseball (tow other sports that can be low scoring affairs) don't suffer the same problems and can hold my attention. |
To me it's great...the pace of play obviously is gonna differ among the quality of leagues and teams but it's all a part of soccer. Hell, I love basketball too but to be frank, sometimes I wanna shoot myself from the boredom of some games. I pretty much like watching all the big leagues in Europe - FA, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, etc. and some of the smaller ones like Serbia because I'm Serbian. Along with that, I love watching the regional competitions like the Intertoto Cup, UEFA Cup, and the Champions League.
Constant flopping and pace of play is a problem sometimes but it's a problem in every league for most major sports. It just depends a lot on what you grew up with and your surroundings. Look at places like Finland, Russia, and Canada...all have basketball and soccer leagues and national teams but hockey dominates (maybe not SO much in Russia league-wise).
Futsal is definitely fun to play...to watch, I don't mind it but I much prefer the original thing.
