Sorry, that would be baseball. Where even the commentators have to talk about the pitcher scratching his balls otherwise there's nothing to say.

Once you learn the basics, the beautiful game is incredibly exciting.

To me it's like the difference between watching a football game and knowing nothing beyond "those two teams keep hitting each other and that guy's trying to throw a ball" and watching it and knowing the strategy, how good the line is to keep that pocket open just 2 seconds longer, how the defense is trying to anticipate the next play.

Soccer's like that, just with fewer stops in the action and less padding.
