Soccer is an interesting comparison, because if you don't understand or like it most of the action just looks like dribbling the ball around. What's interesting is much more a function of if you like and understand the thing than some sort of objective standard. Plenty of people liked Bob Ross and that was a dude painting forgettable landscapes!

I don't know of any condensed games that are all the way down to 8 minutes, but there are ~40 minute versions like this that are pretty common.
