For the years I have been in the U.S I have been listening to the same argument by many Americans.."Soccer is boring, why would you want to watch a game that finishes 0-0 or 1-1".
Today's NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland "Whatevers" finished for a Colts win 10-6. Now considering that a field goal counts for 7 points, if we do this in "soccer" math, then we have a game that finished 1.4 - 0.84 for the Colts. Way to go! Now take into consideration that an American Football game lasts for about 3.5 hours, 1.5 hours of which you watch commercials (if you are watching on TV) or cheerleaders if you are in the stadium (OK, that is worth it a bit), half an hour for half-time break, and another 1 hour until they decide which tactic to follow you pretty much watch about 30 minutes of action, 45 minutes maximum. Each play lasts on average 6 seconds and then there is another 30 seconds on average before the next play. Doesn't that make you want to take an adrenaline injection?
Oh btw, if you are interested, San Francisco - Bufallo final score is 10-3 or 1.4 - 0.4. Another full of action game.
