Thank you. It isn't rocket science.  You get the ball and try and generate opportunities to score. We understand it just fine. At its core, it is not that different than many American field sports like lacrosse, hockey, and even volleyball and basketball (albeit often with more players and a bigger field).  Possess the ball, move the ball, create mismatches/numbers advantages, and generate high-quality scoring opportunities.  How you do it is generally the same -- move without the ball to strategically-advantageous open space, utilize crisp and accurate ball movement.  Even football is the same (albeit much more structured and without the continuous in-game flow).

I don't like it (I don't hate it, but I don't watch it at the professional level) b/c the rules (offsides) depress scoring opportunities and archaic traditions (clock management/transparency) are non-sensical and frustrating.
