This is the one thing I dispute about your post. If you watch a soccer game today (especially at its highest levels), you rarely see more than two or three of the eleven players running at any given time.
Agreed. The shootouts in soccer are pathetic. They should make them play until someone wins, like an 15-inning baseball game. See who wants it more.
The shootouts were invented purely for the benefit of European TV networks. Of course, TV also dictates a lot of what goes on in U.S. sports.
Fair enough. Have fun this weekend enjoying whatever sport you like.
My indoor soccer game this evening was cancelled, so I'm stuck with yard work.
All the teams that have openings are either beginner or co-ed and the thought of accidentally booting one into some girls face scares the hell out of me.
I'll drink one to them not cancelling your game next week.
Have a good one.
