How a soccer game works:

Ten people run down the field kicking a ball until they get to where they can try to kick it into a goal. When they try, the person standing in the goal catches it and throws it back onto the field. Ten other people then run to the other end of the field kicking the ball so someone else can catch it and throw it back. After ninety minutes of this the two teams have a penalty kick shootout to decide who won the game.

The World Championship of Paint Drying is more fun to watch.

No sir, give me a football game any day over this. At least people occasionally score in those.
