You cannot making soccer fun to watch. You just can't. It's like watching baseball, but at least they score in baseball. Every damn soccer game is a 1-goal differential and rarely more than 3 goals in a game. It's a bullshit snore fest.

While not my sport of choice, American football has a lot of down time but lives for the action. Each play is like constructing opposing prefab buildings just to knock them the fuck down and then do it again. It's like a fight where, instead of constantly throwing punches, you instead try to make a decisive blow to take down your opponent as effectively as possible. It's ballet with big motherfuckers. It's human chess.

This is one of the most frequent criticisms I hear about football from Americans. American sports seem to have all the excitement built around the goal, or whatever scoring system it may be, whereas football is a constant flowing game with exciting points scattered throughout, which may not necessarily be goals. Some of the best games I've seen have been goalless draws.
