Fans' fascination: Last-minute passing instead of shooting before half-time

Fans are annoyed when teams pass the ball around instead of taking a shot in the last seconds before half-time, even when they are losing. They argue that it would be better to take a shot and potentially score, rather than pass and risk losing the opportunity. This frustration is felt because fans want their team to make the most of every scoring chance and believe that taking a shot before half-time could give them a psychological advantage going into the break.
