I suppose it is all relative, like what you are pointing to. One of my loves being soccer, a boring Quarter of AFL has infinitely more excitement than an interesting half of soccer. It always takes me back at how slow the pace of a soccer game is when I have spent a weekend watching AFL, which is non stop contests. Don't get me wrong, I love Soccer and get a great amount of enjoyment out of it, but AFL is an andrenaline rush in comparison. Just my two cents.
