Hockey And Soccer

I’ve been watching soccer for almost a year; The Premiership League, Budesliga, a little Spanish Liga and a few other teams.

So obviously, I don’t find it boring. Don Cherry would be scandalised. Well, it can sometimes get a little tedious, but it’s usually very exciting. Now, you’re probably all dying to hear how I feel it compares to hockey.

The truth is that they’re both pretty fun to watch. They’ve both got their strengths and weaknesses. Hockey can provide an exhilarating and quick game, but I often get annoyed because teams often have difficulty constructing plays. Soccer, on the other hand, can go for 20 minutes without a shot, but some plays can be absolutely breathtaking.

In Canada, hockey is still the most watched and followed sport, but more people play soccer. We’ll see where that goes!
