No big loss. maybe israel will show the way by adopting golf as their national sport and get rid of the girlyman sport of soccer altogether.

>>get rid of the girlyman sport of soccer altogether.

I'm all for that. For an alternative (to baseball) spring sport, I nominate lacrosse. This is the second year my son has played.

It's fast and exciting, it's got scoring, features guys in pads hitting each other with sticks, and requires opposible thumbs. It all adds up to a great player and spectator sport. As opposed to soccer, where the fans riot because they're bored silly.

If you think soccer is a 'girly' sport, you obviously don't know any 'soccer guys'! I am married to one, and he's more of a man than Tiger Woods will ever be!!! Golf, snort!;0)

My son calls it communist kickball.
