[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Direct soccer is more exciting to watch that possession  only. However switching between possession (to wear out your opponent) and direct (once your opponent is tired from chasing the ball) is light years better than direct only.

Unfortunately numbnuts that watch American Football try to equate speed and power only to Soccer. They watch what's happening on the field but they don't understand the chess match that's happening right in front of them.[/quote]
The same could be said about watching any sport that you don’t know well. There is always a game within the game with lots of subtle strategies that are lost on the casual fans. Like all the pre-play adjustments and different personnel packages and route options that comes with American football, when the casual fan thinks it’s all just about speed and power. This is precisely why America is so far behind in soccer. Not enough people here understand the intricacies and it translates to the players and coaches. [/quote]
