Is it a virtue of football that is a valid strategy to score 1 goal and keep? And you can do?

I love football. I am a season ticket Season starter since the beginning here in Columbus. My main problem is that sport is 90 minutes long and, essentially, at higher levels is basically a game of one. Now I know that many games scoring more than that, but statistics show that the first team to score is an incredible advantage. No wonder that a game can be played as one race will not be popular in the U.S.. Every game that is popular here does not penalize the team that gives the first score as severely as football is not.

No punishment for the team not to score first. It is the same as the basketball used to be (when still a team sport). UNC used to run the offense four corners (where it would build a lead and put the players in each corner of the half-court and pass the ball). This led the invention of the shot clock. For some reason most Americans (and I am one) have attention deficit disorder. The major pro sports here have to change something every year to allow a higher score. Look at basketball stupid with the half circle in the lane in which no one can be marked with a lack load no matter how hard you hit someone. It seems that sports are even willing to overlook the illegality of the highest scores (see the steroid Laced home runs in baseball a few years ago). Football is a sport incredibly emotional. To be in a European stadium and feel the emotional backlog a goal is something I have never been in a U.S. stadium (and I've been over to games once in every professional sport except the NFL). It is right that a football team to run the option offense to eat up the clock? Is it fair that a basketball team to eat up the shot clock before trying to score? What can I say? These are just the tactics of the game.
