One thing to note is that - precisely because it is so low-scoring - football is the most "unfair" of the big team sports: the one where the objectively weaker team has the best chances of winning.
And yet, at least at the club level, it is also the most unfair because money is allowed to rule the game, and 99% of national titles are won by about a half dozen clubs (or less), across every league in Europe.
I've always wondered about that. Doesn't it get boring to be a fan of a team that has no chance of ever winning?
Yeah, as an Australian who was brought up on the NRL and to a lesser extent the AFL, it's always felt...strange to support a league where everything is utterly predictable. I suppose relegation balances it out, but still...
