It's all a matter of taste, but to be specific, it's not necessarily the scoring I dislike but the lack of any real excitement.

Here is what I hate, presented in the form of broadcast play-by-play:

"Jones passes to Smith, Smith passes back to Miller, Miller passes back to Jones, Jones passes to Miller, Miller to Smith, Smith to Jones, Jones to Jenkins, Jenkins to Smith, Miller drinks a Cafe con Leche, Smith to Jones' zombie corpse (died of old age), Jones zombie corpse to Smith...

*fast forward 20 minutes*

Wait... did someone pass the ball near the goal? What? SCORE????

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!! I'M OVERLY EXCITED BECAUSE SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAAAAPPEEEENNNNNNNNEEED!"
