Scoring a goal in football happens on average 2.6 times per match, or once every 35 minutes. The most common half-time score is 0:0.
I'm always amused when someone who professes to enjoy football says that cricket is boring because nothing happens.
They also spend half their time rolling around on the ground pretending injury because someone touched them. Over here I laugh at baseball, men wearing pajamas doing very little except spitting on the floor with the spectators spending more time eating hotdogs and drinking beer than watching the game. The most excited the spectators get is during the seventh innings stretch and my American colleagues say cricket is boring.
