[SOC] the real reason

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 21:13:40 -0500

I guess I'd like the game better if it showed you how many minutes were left to play,
not how many you had played :^)  I guess the guys behind MLS over here noticed
that... our clocks count backwards like we're accustomed to :^)  (Last time I caught
the tail end of one of those boring American soccer games while waiting for a race it
was like that anyway)

Speaking of the MLS, has anyone noticed that about 90% of the people in attendance
are immigrants? ;^)  They try to force soccer on us, and the only people that show up
to the games are people that aren't from here, lol.....

Maybe, It does get a bit like trench warfare at times, but the flipside is
that in "footie" (soccer) it really isn't over 'till the fat lady sings.
Whereas in (say) basketball you can be getting to the end of the match and
it's a foregone conclusion at 25-6, such runaway victories are rare in
footie, and the result of the match can suddenly be turned upside down in
the last couple of minutes or even in added "injury time" as the clock runs
down.
One of our best teams are past masters at this, going behind early in the
game to stupid defensive errors (I'm talking about you Mr Barthez...sorry
Claude) - only to snatch victory in the closing few minutes. Alex Ferguson
(their manager) is convinced that they do it on purpose to bump him off with
a heart attack or something.

Whatever rocks your boat, I suppose.
Good luck to the USA footie team...t'would be nice to play them.
