Of course they're professionals as well. It's just way easier to defend than it is to score.
It's kind of like baseball... you hit the ball 30% of the time and you're considered to be godly. Some things are just hard to do. Scoring in soccer is one of those.
You can't just have two teams keep playing indefinitely, as players get more tired, the likelihood of goals being scored goes down even more. You can only run for so long. Nobody likes when matches get decided by penalties, but there has to be a winner and this is the only thing that works.
