Really.
Don't have all that much to say on soccer.
The rest of the world seems to be really engrossed in soccer.
Can't really see why.
I mean, lacrosse is more interesting than soccer, and I can only take so much lacrosse.
Proponents of soccer will point out how popular it is among children.
I will point out that that's because the coordination to kick a ball is just a few steps past walking, and is nothing compared to just about any sport you can name, including ping pong.
I suppose it does get tougher as you get older - people run into you that much harder, at any rate.
Look at how many saves goalies make. That is one huge ball.
Look at the scores - one, two goals for all that running around?
Oh, I know why soccer's so popular overseas. It's that everyone knows that practically anyone can kick a ball. They know they could play the game, if they just got in shape and ran a few miles. I can do that. It's a popular thought.
Maybe not an accurate thought, but popular...

I enjoy watching my kid play soccer in the YMCA league. Beyond that, I could care less. Pro soccer doesn't interest me at all.
