Soccer is so boring

I respectfully disagree, basketball is much more entertaining than soccer imo, idc about how high the point totals are because that's what makes it exciting. So many times your heart is beating in the last minute of the game hoping your team can make the comeback it makes it fun. In soccer I've seen countless times in extra time where the team in has to be an asshole and get hurt by doing some random $&!# and completely using up the extra 3-4 minutes. That's just one of the many reasons why I dislike watching it.
Don't get me wrong tho I absolutely love playing soccer.

No doubt soccer is an acquired taste. If you don't understand or appreciate the subtleties of the game then it's easy to look at it and just see a bunch of guys running around passing and diving.
A discerning eye looks at a game and see's it as a boxing match where two fighters are jabbing and punching but ultimately looking for weaknesses in the other team's defense.
One of the greatest sporting events I've ever seen was the last game of the 2013/2014 Premiere League season where Man City and Man United were tied and were playing across town from each other at the same time. Man United won their game and figured they had the Championship won as City was trailing in their game by TWO goals with just Extra Time remaining. City had to win their game to win the Championship and out of nowhere scored two goals in injury time to win. One of the greatest games ever and one of the greatest calls ever...Aguerooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Still give me goose bumps thinking about it.
