It would be better if there was more blood
Maybe, or if there was actual strategy beyond just zone or man to man defense being played. I did like playing soccer as a kid, mainly because I was pretty good at it. On TV it feels like I am watching people pass and intercept passes 90 percent of the time, then every once in a while you see a decent shot on goal. Soccer also has a lot of flopping, which is annoying. Acting like you are hurt when you aren't is lame. I do admit it is smart to get the opposing team's players a yellow or red card, but it still is lame.
