A number of reasons but the main one, for me. We are too set in the way we want to see the game played. Crowds demand fast paced football, end to end action and chances galore. The rather slow ponderous build up that is prevalent in continental football is not welcomed in this country. Swansea were called boring a couple of years ago - admittedly by Robbie Savage but hey - cuz they were too slow in their build up. unfortunately that attitude is too common among the British fan. This attitudes filters down into the lower league where there is some quite ugly but tremendously effective football played and we have a basic attitude to the game that doesn't encourage technique but effectiveness.
