how can you say football or basketball have more "non stop action" then soccer?
Football is a game that is stopped after every play. If you add up the time spent between plays in a game it will be higher then the actual time spent playing. That is "non stop"?
and basketball. The last 2 minutes of a basketball game take like 10 minutes. Foul, free throw, foul. free throw.
That's non stop too?
I happen to like both Basketball and football, so I'm not trying to insult those sports, but there's no was they are have more "non stop action" then soccer. The words "non stop" should not even be used in reference to those sports.

There's stoppage between every play in football, but there's consistent excitement every 20 or 40 seconds depending on which brand of football. There certainly isn't action in soccer consistently every 20 or 40 seconds.
Your argument for basketball is hilarious - what about the other 46 minutes? Do they not count? I'm not a basketball fan, but to argue that soccer has more non-stop action than basketball is just plain ridiculous. Yes the last two minutes can be very boring, but soccer can consistently be too.
