I actually agree with this. Defensive soccer/football is incredibly boring to watch. 0-0. So fun. When the number of players in any sport is changed, it puts everyone on their heels because they don't know exactly how to react, and so you know what you get? Sport!
I kinda like 0-0 when there are many attacks/saves/opportunities. I'm recalling that Iceland vs Argentina match for instance, really a nail-biter. I definitely dislike the defensive passing game that comes in/out of popularity.
