(6,280 posts).... it doesn't take much to get them going.
It's actually the most exciting game if one understands it. Otherwise it would not be by far the most popular sport in the World.

I played soccer many moons ago, it's a blast but I get why spectators may not be interested. That's true for most sports I think though.

(101,322 posts)As opposed to American Football, in which the vast majority of players never touch the ball with their feet at all. Hell, many of them go a whole game without touching the ball in any way. It does, at least, involve Americans, so that bit of the name is OK.

(6,477 posts)For most of the time they're not playing, the clock doesn't run at all, meaning an hour game often lasts three hours. They also need an extended rest every fifteen minutes, given all the intense play. It's very exciting, though, I'm told.
