Maybe, but soccer doesn't have very many situations where there are ~14 players standing in spitting distance of each other and a 6 inch shift in the position of the ball or a single player has huge implications for the outcome of the game.
Soccer fans also miss out on an hour of commercials each game (it's easy to skip the ones at halftime).
Aren't free kicks an example of this? There must be a few in every soccer game, no?
But I don't know how many times the 14 player scenario happens per game in American Football, is it a lot more?
