And the fake falls with the bad acting are pathetic to watch.

You could find arguments against any sport you didn't grew up with.
Basketball. Score so much it isn't even exciting anymore when it happens. 63-49 o wow look he hangs on the hoop after pushing it through the net how spectacular.
Bouncing around a ball inside some depressing gym. Has a lot in common with handball, a sport only girls and gay males play.
American Football. Look they take a break every 20 seconds how exciting. The only sport where more people talk about commercials and music than the game itself. Look they moved 1 meter and it stopped again. The skill it takes to carry a ball and run.
The above critiques are not my personal feelings but i use them as an example that is in line with your critiques on 'soccer'. You see, it's doesn't matter. I know for people who are into basketball and american football, it is exciting. So why criticize a sport you just aren't into, it's pointless. One is not 'better' than the other. It's all about what you grew up with, which is the dominant sport in your culture.
