It's like watching paint dry.They play for 90 minutes, another 4 or 5 for "extra time", whatever the hell that is, and the score is 0-0. Then they have a kickoff to see who wins.
Simple solution: Have the kickoff and the whole thing can be over in 10 minutes.
Edit: Oh yes, and all those exciting youtube moments. Somebody scores a goal! Goal! Yes, truly exciting. Or, somebody misses a goal. How awful.
For every youtube minute of actual action there's hundreds, if not thousands of hours of watching paint dry.

baseball is like that too...
Most baseball players couldn't run 500 yards w/out collapsing.
is the most tedious, mind-numbingly dull 'sport' I ever had the misfortune to watch.
Watching paint dry or grass grow is extremely exciting compared to the drudge that is baseball.
I've done two of the most boring things a person can waste time on: Going fishing at 5 in the morning, and going to a baseball game. My Grandpa took me to a Milwaukee Braves game when I was a kid. It was nice that he did it, but I was bored silly. Almost as if to pass along that experience, I agreed to take my son to a Texas Rangers game, at the invitation of an acquaintance who had access to season tickets. The best thing about the game was the beer and hotdog. That was about 10 years ago, and we've not been to one since, I'm pleased to say.
With regard to fishing... There seems to be a lot of people who don't realize that fish are often sold in grocery stores, and for a lot less than the price of a boat and the other stuff needed to sit quietly for hours, not to forget having to clean them (if you catch any).
Speaking of watching paint dry, I think it's dry now (it's been 3 days), so it's time to put up the new bathroom hardware which of course won't match up with the holes from the old hardware.
Have a lovely weekend, all!

Perhaps Cricket in Yankee Stadium?!
Hip Hip Hooray
Bill
Cricket would be a considerable improvement over baseball and cricket is quite tedious.
