BTW, why so many snide remarks about soccer? If you’ve never played, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
...actually, there’s only one mention of soccer on this thread,and not really all that snide...
...soccer was fun enough, and it shouldn’t be mocked, but more than any other sport, it epitomizes the leftist European worldview that the public schools are aching to implement here...the fact that hand/eye coordination is de-emphasized in soccer limits the variance between male and female performance, and is the perfect example of the gender neutral ideal that is the wet dream for feminist elites running the schools today...
...it also more than anything else fulfills the commitment to non-scored competitions favored by the left, because scoring is at such premium...
Two, if you count the little trophy picture.
Not to get into an off-topic discussion here but my reason for liking soccer is the fact that you are running constantly for two 45-min. halves, no time outs. The eye-foot coordination is pretty amazing as is scoring a goal with a header or a bicycle kick. Scoring is at a premium because the defense is so good. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard to hit a net that wide.
