That's only half-true. If you even breathe on one of the game's superstars, it's a foul. But the stars can practically run you over and not get anything. This is the reason why Shaq is considered the best center in the game. If officials actually called the same fouls on him that they call on everyone else, Shaq would foul out of every game he's ever played.
But that's more of a problem with the way the game is officiated than with the game itself.
I will agree with you about how physical soccer is. It is a brutal game, but I just can't sit and watch a game, because other than the occasional big tackle or the even rarer goal, it just doesn't seem like anything happens.
At least with basketball, points get scored fast, but a team that plays good defense (
see: Detroit and San Antonio) is that much better than the rest.
I'unno, it just seems less random to me than soccer.
