IMO soccer is for sissy's. At a youth level, football, baseball and basketball is where all the athletes go. The parents/kids that want equal play time for kids and everything to be fair regardless skill level and where everyone is a winner with no losers, play soccer. Plus it's boring!!
It does determine a winner. I would rather lose than tie. The 90s minutes often does not determine the best team. The entire game is essentially about luck.
I am not putting it down at all. All I'm saying is that it's not a true "world championship" at all, is all. Champ, maybe... but not real World Champ. I never said it was a bad sport. PAC-man is the man, sir. And, yes... I am not going to sit here and tell you I analyze either sport... I can tell you that I might not know power punches from other punches, but I know that until someone shows me otherwise, he is the man.
Even more awesome...a rockets website If they ever carved a mount flopmore, scola, lowry, martin, and battier would all be candidates. I still love them all, but it's the truth.
