    Name some things you Like about SOCCER

    Commercials are only at halftime

    People say there isn't enough scoring but there are plenty of other "goals" reached like a defender making a great tackle just outside the box or a midfielder passing a through ball on a dime to his teammate

    I like well-taken free kicks that result in goals.

    Watching a team string together 10+ passes of possession In an effective (forward) manner. Noone knows how truly hard this aspect is unless theyve played at a high level.

    Also love a well timed tackle. Noone knows how bad it feels when a dude hits you as hard as he can (cleanly) with a well timed tackle.

    Passion of the fans in big games/competitions

    The moments when everyone is on edge with every semi-chance in a tight game, similar feeling to OT playoff hockey

    Goal Celebrations--Everyone so pumped

    Better question is why those sophisticated Englishmen stink and are overhyped every 4 yrs. why is the English league considered premier. They are no good.

    Hmm, that moment when a team has an opportunity to score then they do. Something like that, it excites me.

    It's a lot like Texas holdem. You spend hours waiting for the right moment and still only have a 65% chance of success.

    1. No commercials during games. Only at HT.
    2. Running clock. You know exactly when the game is going to be played so you can plan your day ahead.
    3. No huddle between plays or timeouts. Non-stop action makes you glued to your seat.
    4. Breakaways are the most exciting thing in sports. The goalie made a spectacular save on one end and you can't watch the replay because his team is attacking on the other half furiously to catch the other team on the break.
    5. Penalty shootouts. Thank God for them otherwise the games will drag on for hours until someone scores or dies on the field.
    6. Red cards. Because you can't substitute the player so makes the player think twice before getting one.
    7. Free kicks outside the box. Because you can't use your hands to block the ball on a defensive wall.
    8. Corner kicks. Because you have to jump pretty high and time the jump perfectly to score a goal on a header will someone is holding your shirt, pushing and stepping on your toes at the same time.
    9. The fans. Singing and chanting non-stop. Most beautiful women in the world watch soccer.
    10. The refs. In total control of the game running close to 10 miles a game up and down the field.

    I like when a penalty kick is called and a bunch of soccer players from Southern South America try to argue with the Egyptian referee in English

    It's all about the 2hrs of my life I have to give up to watch the sporting event.
    Corporate breaks in action don't occur.
    There is more sport being played in the first 20 minutes of a soccer match than an entirety of a NFL game.
    The chicks.
