Another poster put it this funny way: “It isn’t a real sport when a player can bite another player and keep his teeth.”

I wish I felt better about how we played.

The defense played much better today, though, despite the ferocious - at times - German attack. Fatigue probably had a lot to do with it as well. Maybe would have been better to gamble with a few more subs, just to have fresher legs, but that's a hard call to make because it upsets chemistry.

Quite true. Sitting Cameron helped though.

“I hate soccer. It’s too hard to score, and the opposing teams are too good. That’s just un-American.”

2’ wider and 1’ higher would probably yield 1-2 more goals per match.

Goalkeepers are much bigger now than 20-30 year ago.

Another sport that needs to consider changing field or court deminsions is volleyball. Womens net should be raised 2-4” and the mens should be raised 4-6”. Each side of the court should be increased .5 meters in width and length.

I’d try and describe a baseball game to you, but I’d fall asleep trying to do so.

You mean like baseball?. If soccer isn’t a real sport, god knows that makes baseball. Well, we know the latter isn’t a real sport anyway.

Any sport like it or ‘football’ which takes 3-4 hrs to complete ‘60 minutes’ of play is no real sport.
