Thatʼs why our country is what it is. But you have got to get over this unbelievable obsession with soccer as your main form of sport. Soccer is a boring, puerile, and contradictory waste of time. As a method of deciding the worldʼs greatest athletics, it ranks slightly above the tug-of-war and slightly below the “X-Games”. You mean to tell me that the worldʼs greatest athletic events should end in a tie more often than not? Are you saying that someone who has no arms can replicate the worldʼs greatest athletic feats? Are the worldʼs greatest contests decided with what amounts to a free-throw contest? Sorry, no.
