Seriously, try one less pass and instead, kick the ball towards the goal. Ya never know if ya don't try.
If you don't watch very much the game then what's the problem? Do you see me arguing about the finer points of cycling with you? Take it from me that played at a high level scoring is not easy.
Let's say players do just kick the ball forward as hard as they can all the time (known as "hoofing") this just gives a greater risk of the other team getting possession! The trick is to keep possession as far down the field as one can and THEN take a shot.
A good analogy would be fencing. They make minute offensive movements for what what seems like an age. When they see a safe opening they strike.
Oh, and no-one here thinks footballers are super-human - quite the opposite in fact. We are trying to point out that the game has more to it than you think!
