1. It's long - 90 minutes plus extra time at the end. Compare that to 48 for NBA, 60 for hockey, 60 for NFL, etc. Baseball is also too long.

2. Low scoring - Games tend to end with a max of maybe 4 goals combined. Its not a bad thing once in a while, but when its the majority of the time it gets boring.

3. Not many shots taken - Usually the defense is able to stop the shot before it happens and your lucky to see a lot of shots. Compare that to anywhere from 20-30 or more in hockey, like 100 in basketball, etc.

4. Players are sissies - I can't tell you how many times i've seen a guy get lightly bumped and he falls to the ground "in pain". At least if their soccer career doesn't go as planned they could always become actors.

5. The nets are HUGE - This is a small thing that bothers me but with a net that big you would think there would be like 10 goals a game per team. Your shooting a medium sized ball into a gigantic net it should be easy. In NBA the net is only twice the diametre of the ball and they manage 100 points a game.
