In basketball, when someone dunks, everyone goes wild....Now, if soccer had a few less rules..(lets say you could use your hands or your feet)...it would be more "actioney" and captivating.. Look at this picture...Can you create this much excitement in soccer?:

Dude, how much of soccer have you watched? An amazing goal is just as impressive as any of those feats. I love watching football, and I went apeshit when Eli escaped that sack, but I was just as excited when Magallon scored his second goal against the US team in the recent friendly.
If you wanna talk about about going crazy, even the hooligans are tame compared to the Aztecs. If you lost their ballgame (kind of a hybrid of soccer and basketball), you could get sacrificed to the gods. Or if you win you could get sacrificed to the gods. Kind of a no-win situation. Now, those ppl were crazy.
