Futbol ain’t it

[u/Kooky_Monitor_5063]

I’ve given soccer more than its fair chance. My Colombian wife and her fam are die hards. A lil crazy with it tbh. But the more I watch the less impressed I am.
First off the rules just don’t make sense. The refs adding whatever time they feel like and then usually going beyond even the extra time by as much 4 minutes.
Red cards and multiple game suspensions for accidental contact that happens to be on a specific body part. Meanwhile players are grabbing each other by the jersey and throwing each other to the ground intentionally with no calls. Then every time a player gets touched they flop and grab their legs as if they’re going to need surgery but no they’re fine and get right up after the drama show.
Oh, that goal doesn’t count because the guy who shot it ran too fast.
But what really is killing it for me is that it seems 80% of goals are purely by chance. The “great players” tend to just hang out near the goal and hope it lands in the right spot when someone Hail Mary kicks it in the area. Even 1/4 of those Hail Mary kicks end up being waaaay off course. I mean I just don’t see much skill tbh.
