Doesn't change the fact soccer is so boring, basing itself on simplicity

Err, simplicity is generally why things succeed. The more complicated something is, the less fans it will attract. That is why often you will see kids in Africa playing football as it doesn't require much, and it is just simple fun.
TBH, I don't see why this is still going. People are different and are going to like different sports. If you are brought up watching AFL, you'll like AFL. If you're brought up watching football, you'll like football. To basically go on like a school kid, going, "My sport is better than yours" just sounds immature. Obviously stats wise, football is bigger and more well known and enjoyed, and I will watch it over an AFL match as that is my preference. But too just constantly go on about how wonderful and better AFL/football is just shows that you obviously don't respect other people's opinions.
I admit im not involved with a team. But im involved with Australia, and i find 90% of their games dead boring. (the only good one was in the World Cup against Japan)
Didn't fail the expectation either. Carlton vs Hawthorn game that just finished was far more superior to any Soccer game for a long while. Had everything a sporting event could ever want. One of the best matches ever.In the Pakistan vs Australia ODI matches, Geoff Boycott was ranting on about big soccer matches on Tuesday & Monday and then Dean Jones said there is a bigger match on tomorrow - Carlton vs Hawthorn! Priceless.![]()
What about the game against Croatia in the World Cup to take us into the next stage? Or the second leg World Cup Qualifier in 2005 against Uruguay?
