For people who say its slow paced you need to watch some Champions league or the latter stages of the World cup. It is far more intense.

Also if you think Football is slow you better stay well clear of cricket..... well clear...

well, that is true that high level soccer football is less boring, but compared to a 75 metre pass or a guy smashing through a crowd of 11 people and sprinting 80 meters to the endzone in American football or a 132-128 score in a basketball game or a guy skating down the ice at ~20 km/h and slamming another guy into the wall, it is slow paced. Anytime I watch soccer, even the WC championship, I just start falling asleep.

 

Funny I feel the same way when watching an american football match. So many breaks, offensive team, defensive team a kicker, etc.

There are more breaks than actual gametime, on the other hand watching football keeps me thrilled the entire match. Must be a cultural thing.
