Yes. That’s the way it is in baseball, real football, hockey, basketball, tennis, golf, volleyball, cricket, etc.
This was a classic:

That video is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like to help whenever I can.
As an aside, I was a professional Sports Photographer for about 14 years. I shot a lot of soccer. I LOVED the action, and the athleticism. Most of my stuff was collegiate D1 and D2; with a few games at Gillette stadium. The thing I did not like about soccer was the way the players whined. All of the time. And the refs let them get away with it.
So, its not a hate of the sport in particular. Its more sitting and watching. It is NEVER as good as being down on the end line watching it through a 400mm lens. (And the only thing worse than whiny soccer players is college baseball players....jeez those guys complained about everything!)
That actually was a good addition to the thread. :)
Soccer players are nearsighted.
Giant net and they can only score maybe 1 goal during the game!
Italy, the kings of the flop.
Tis a pity Gareth Bale won’t be playing That boy could beat Bolt in a race. Too bad the UK didn’t make up a team.
I always wondered if the UK fielded a team, how many more World Cups they would have won, considering the likes of George Best would have played for them.
Italy didn’t make quals,did they?
Wales,Scotland, consider themselves countries, still they would make quite the team.
Scotland had some great teams in the 70s.
Saudi Arabia shows the peril of changing coaches too soon before the WC, doesn’t bode well for Spain.
The Lions are a team fielded by Welsh, Scots, and Brits. Now that is one good Rugby team
-PJ
Saudi Arabia is pretty bad. They’ll have a short stay.
Excellent start for Russia, Congratulations!
Saudi Arabia, not so excellent.
World Cup 2018 Is ON!
