Mostly, tactics make it boring. The most fun games are when both abandon tactics and go full in attack mode. Then you leave spaces and the game continually goes back and forth. Not what coaches want, but for the neutral supporter most fun.
I like American football, but I have always wondered why it's called football. You cannot score a touchdown in American football without the use of hands.
Pele - He led Brazil to three World Cup football (soccer) championships (1958, 1962, and 1970). He scored 12 goals in World Cup play and tallied more than 1,000 goals in matches.
I actually saw Pele play back in 1975. My best friend & I went to visit my mom in New Port Richey, FL. We hung out at Clearwater Beach about every day and met some local girls. They wanted to go see the Tampa Bay Rowdies play so we took them even though my friend & I were not soccer fans. But we were fans of these girls that we met! At the time, Pele was playing for Tampa Bay.
Was he? Shows how much I know! Well he was there playing for one of the teams…. My attention was on the girls we took to the game! I do still have a t- shirt that I bought, somewhere…. I remember it said “Soccer is a Kick in the Grass” on it.
