I've read enough of your (By your I mean Ben and all the people barracking against Soccer, not you in particular) posts in this 18 page thread to know that Ben and a lot of the people paying out soccer think that if there are no goals, there can't be excitementwhich shows that most of you people don't know enough to comment fairly.
You probably do know the game well, but some of your posts made it sound like you don't. But to be fair, it is mainly Roo, Covvy and Ben.
But they still pull better crowds than any NRL game on average.
Your saying that all those skills are easy. If they are, why aren't you play AFL, Rugby, Soccer. All those sports. And again, in Rugby, (the sport you go crazy for) all you need to know is how to tackle, catch, bash the crap out of each other. You barley need to kick, because from what i see from rugby, the kicking is shocking. Unless its the goal kickers after the tries. In soccer, you just need to be fast, and be able to hit the ball with your head, and kick. Along with all those other silky moves. Sure I dont HATE soccer, i can watch it. But NRL ....WTF! Most boring sport ever.
Wow a 60 metre kick:
Yeah, but kicking is important for some positions, and same with catching which is extremely important for the wingers.
Yeah, but when you have players running at you and are about 2 metres away when your making your kick, trying to place it in between 3 players before half the time being smashed isn't an easy job.
