i'd honestly rather go to the dentist than watch either of the sports where they quickly go back and forth 8000 times and score once every two hours In terms of minutes you're sitting there watching it, soccer goals happen about the same frequency as touchdowns. while this may be true, literally nothing about this post is going to convince someone like myself to watch soccer. i don't outwardly hate on the sport, but i just don't like it. and that's ok. in regards to the "in terms of minutes" part, though, that seems a little lackadaisical in describing the action. Football is a sport that importance is dictated by field position. 3rd and 10 from a team's own 15 isn't going to require the same attention/anticipation as 1st and goal. Not all snaps are equal based on score, field position, time remaining, etc. In soccer, (in my extremely self admitting uneducated opinion) it's pretty much just "try to stop a goal" vs. "try to score a goal". There's just less nuance (as far as I can tell - I rarely watch it).
