It took my 5 year old kid about 3 hours to learn how
to stay up on skates and get around - it took about
2 years to learn how to walk, let alone kick a ball
at the same time, or even control it in some way.

Football is an extremely skillful game - your own lack
of knowledge about it doesn't make it less so.
