I think it’s a good sport for the young as more can play, which is good, and there is less standing around like there is in baseball.
The only time I remember playing soccer was in high school, in PE on a very foggy Central California morning in January. So foggy that when you gave the ball a good boot, you couldn’t see where it went. THAT was fun.
