Theres only 1 goals scored, nothing happens the rest of the time! Its like 89 minutes of tedious boredom, with maybe 5 seconds of action when the goal is scored. On the other hand the NFL is non-stop awesome action of masculinity and toughness and big hits where huge men wearing war armor get pounded hard and score 7 times more points.

So what's up with that, why do foreigners think football is boring and soccer is exciting when its the other way around?

I'm guessing you never watched soccer.
