I was once told that soccer on TV was boring because 90% of the action was off the screen. Seeing as the camera follows the ball I have to wonder at all the action where there is no ball.

To appreciate the randomness of soccer, pretend that the players keep saying “I meant to do that!”

I dunno. I’ve “scored” with a soccer player or two …

I’ve never seen a soccer player run for 90 minutes. They do run a lot, but they stop a lot too.

I guess as “keep away” (a kids game) it is ok then. As a sport … not so much.Let ‘em tun their silly heads off it still ain’t sport.

A genuine LOL moment from a comic strip. Quite rare.

The Dutch team certainly scored.
