Diagram all the movements in a soccer game. You have an endless series of squiggles...usually with few scores. “Negativity problem”? I think it might better be described as a
“reality problem”. From my very positive perspective, I am positive that this “sport” belongs in third world****holes. Just because many watch it is no indication of its value. Obviously, I believe staring at the sun is preferable to watching soccer. To each his own.
I grew up on baseball. Now can’t stand it. Still enjoy college football. I converted to soccer at the ‘94 World Cup and never looked back. The international aspect of soccer is really fun. Especial in Europe. Instant connections with the locals.
There are a lot of “inside soccer” subtle things like baseball has that only advanced followers of the game understand. There is a match on TV pretty much whenever you want to watch. The Budweiser Soccer Girls at matches are nothing to complain about, either. Ha ha.
