Soccer, we could have been great friends

Martin Davis two weeks ago: "I wish America would get on board with the rest of the world and realize soccer is an amazing sport."

Martin Davis two minutes ago: "Oh soccer, how you are laden with flaws!"


Believe it or not, the American soccer comentators (who once defined what a corner kick was for the viewers at home) have some very good points to say about how soccer's gone bad:

So much of the game is riding on how well you can fake being fouled. (Portugal for instance is the most guilty<---check this out.)
How many games have been won 1-0 based on a penalty kick. FOULS SHOULD NOT BE WINNING GAMES! This is why everyone's taking dives to draw fouls. The reason why this is so much of a problem is because there's not enough scoring. Pretending to get fouled is not that big of a deal in basketball or football, because there is enough scoring to counteract the mistake. But in soccer, it often costs you the entire game.
Soccer isn't as great as I thought it was................but it easily is the best game to play on video games. Fact, not opinion.


But, I still think it's an awesome thing in that it unites people in their respective countries like nothing else.
