I totally agree with that. I have never played the game so I really do not appreciate how it is played and all of the strategy.
That being said, I am always amazed that when a soccer team is down and time is running out, they seem to be playing for the perfect shot and usually don't even get a shot off - or if they do, the shot is over the net - not even close. If you are at least trying to score, you might get a rebound or a lucky bounce.
Sort of like in basketball - if you are down by 5 points with 30 seconds to go, you have to put the ball in the air. It might go in or you might get a lucky rebound. Sort of like pulling the goalie in hockey.
