What people are missing in soccer?

Too many people look at the widely known game as soccer in bad ways. Either it's boring to watch on TV, they say all it is is kicking a ball, or they say people fake and flop too much just for a penalty kick or free kick.
I can contradict all these statements without a second thought.
I have played for a long time. I know that it is way more than frantically "kicking a ball". It is about possesion, defense, pressure, controlling and much more. Though the flopping may seem a big problem, it really isn't. People don't see how great the game is if they just focus on the problems. They won't think about the great things and be happy. This is what other countries are doing and soccer is their top sport. The US is just like this.
Europe has the best soccer, and North America has some of the worst. Greatest country in the world. Maybe in some ways, but not in this standpoint.

Soccer is also not boring if you really pay attention to how skilled they are. It may seem boring with all the passing and only some shots. People need to recognize how extremely hard it is to be as good as Messi, Ronaldo, and so on.
So watch some soccer, and hopefully you'll hear the commentator say "Goallll" for whoever your rooting for.
