Sounds like you don't really understand how soccer is played. Just like american football, soccer has a lot of strategy and teamwork. True, the score is usually low because it's a defensive game. If you take the time to understand how the different player's role is executed, it makes the game a lot more interesting. FYI, that's why you mostly see the whole field when watching on TV...you need to see where all the players are to understand how the ball is mover around. Hope this helps...
