I don't even think they try to make the ball go in the goal. It's more about the exhibition of their own athleticism on some level. So many of the shots on goal go high af bc they're just trying to kick it gallantly moreso than trying to score a goal.

Someday there will be a Steph Curry-esque revolution in the sport where instead of the three-pointer they learn to emphasize "one-pointers" above all else.

It doesn't happen in hockey. There are usually 30 shots on goal per team in a hockey game.

There are about 7 shots per team in soccer.

Keep in mind a soccer goal is like 10x the size as a hockey goal and no one is on fucking ice skates?

I agree with the OP i just don't get how there is just no action in soccer...

The fact that they have a huge fucking field and goal is all the more reason to take more shots.

It honestly probably is some decorum integrity of the game bullshit. The globohomos who run Fifa would probably get the coach and players charged with sedition and order Biden to drone strike their country if they tried that strategy.

i think there must be some kind of "culture" in the sport that discourages individuals taking shots. like it's seen as selfish or dishonorable or something. it happens so often that it has to be something that players are avoiding doing on purpose

There was a bizarre moment in the US game today where they played the ball out wide on the wing and the US player had a step on the last defender, he could have driven down the field and had a 180 chance but instead he literally SLOWED THE FUCK DOWN, waited for the D to catch up and then tried to pass to another US player and lost the fucking ball.

it has to be some kind of cultural thing, like players are looked down on if they just assertively take shots

just one more reason why the "sport" sucks, lol

Finishers are just born that way and US rarely has one.

Clint Mathis was and he got shit for having a bad attitude or whatever. Also had injuries, etc. But he was 180 and a killer.

Mathis played well in his first season in Germany, scoring on his debut and went on to score four goals in his first five games.[9] But soon after, his manager was fired and replaced by Ewald Lienen. In his second Bundesliga season, Lienen often kept Mathis on the bench. On September 25, 2004, upon entering Hannover's match against Schalke as a very late substitute, Mathis scored the game-winning goal almost immediately.[12] In celebration, he ran to the sideline and tapped his watch at Lienen

Ergotelis sat at the bottom of the table in the Greek First Division. Down 2–1, Mathis came on to make his debut as a second-half substitute and in the 91 minute of stoppage time down a goal, the ball popped to Mathis outside the box and he struck a powerful left footed volley that the keeper could only deflect into the back of the net, earning a crucial point against fellow relegation battlers Apollon Kalamarias.[9]

We've got talent now but nobody who really wants to score.

The US doesn't have finishers. Sick and sad!

Netherlands, while theoretically being 40-50x better than us, actually isn't playing that great in this world cup. We'd have a chance against legit teams with someone who could score and without the retard coach's awful lineups/subs/tactics*.

*Shaq Moore getting in again today was just mindblowing.

Haji Wright up front, just absolute trash today with his touches.

And in case you're wondering, our literal best player--regardless of position--is being benched. Which is pretty sweet.

Tactically he's been making us take our foot off the gas if we start to play well or we're winning. It cost us against Wales and almost did today. Just terrible.

LOL at this football hating soccer cuck. It would be like asking why the QB doesn’t throw deep when his WR is wide open downfield and he instead chooses to check down to a HB who is triple covered…valid Q.

It's funny, because there was a point where it was seen as bad football to throw the ball frequently, because of the importance to "establish the run" and "control the clock" and then smart people were like fuck that, throw the ball a bunch, gain more yards and score more points.

That's not true. It happened on the high school and college levels well before the NFL. Football strategy moves up from the lower levels.

if you want a real response the usual reason is that the final pass is what breaks open the defense for a high percentage shot as opposed to a low percentage shot from distance which can easily get blocked by a defender, saved, or missed altogether the goal.

can you give me an example? of course this happens sometimes. To be honest I get more frustrated by bad shots when passing would have been the better choice. That’s more common IMO.

also note that teams in the World Cup don’t play together regularly, only in special windows and for special tournaments. For most world cups the teams also get more preparation—a full month. But this one they only got one week, so chemistry is worse than usual.

he is a defender FWIW and is terrible at shooting.

correct analogy is coaches who refuse to pass on first down, won't go for it on 4th and 1, etc. basically cya risk aversion and desire to play a "proper" game that lowers your chance of winning the game. coaches who think like that have been correctly mocked as dumbfucks over the years.

There are a few reasons. Despite it looking like a good shot on TV it might not be so clear on the field. There might be a better option to shoot after a pass. The player with the ball might also make a mistake in not shooting and instead passing. There isn't one clear cut reason
