: : Look for a draw on Monday...USA 1 �Korea 1
: Nice prediction, which points to just why most Americans can't stand soccer - too damn predictable. The big excitement? The goalie stopped a shot! Be still my beating heart. Compare that to game 3 of the Stanley Cup: one goalie makes 50 saves (of something 1/30 the size of that pumpkin) and the game goes triple overtime before it ended - with a winner!
: And of course soccer's ugly head reared again: two people stomped to death in Russia because the home team lost a game. Only with soccer can a 1-0 become a slugfest.
: If they could just figure out how to keep time in a soccer match it might have a little credibility. Could you imagine the Super Bowl continuing for some random unspecified time to account for player changes and penalties? And here I thought the Swiss made clocks.
Mr. Kravitz, First off this is not the forum to discuss your pathetically predictable perspective on the most popular sport in the world, but I just want to say that the premise of soccer is based on individual technique, team tactics and the ability of 22 players on the field to adapt to a constantly changing scenario of options and decisions on the spur of the moment. SPUR OF THE MOMENT is key here Kravitz, and like the solo space alotted to Mr. Baerwalds' instrumentalists, anything can happen. The moment is man's biggest challenge, and obviously you haven't quite grasped that concept as of yet, but you will, because all roads lead there. Yes, the Russian reaction to their teams loss is tragic, yet the real underlying motivation behind their behavior is dissatisfaction with their own plight socially and individually. And for you Mr Kravitz, to point your squirrely little finger,(bet that's not your only small body part), at the sport itself as the catalyst for this type of behavior, tells me what a pedestrian understanding of the big picture you have. Cheap shots with no substance! Live and let live! Regards to all.
