I enjoy World Cup soccer. But no matter what my Albanian colleague says, offsides is an unnecessary rule. The foul system is bullshit. No one person should have that much power. The players are too fast, and there are too many of them for one referee.
As for today's US result, all we (can I say we) did was tie. We outplayed the Italians and tied. I do not expect the US to beat Ghana. Soccer is a bigger crapshoot than baseball. Tournament systems put a premium on luck. After today, the US cannot get any luckier. But what do I know?
I want to post about how reactionary most people are and how being reactionary is a bad thing, but I just posted about US soccer. I think discrediting reactionaries would be hypocritical.
