Even more curious, those who only pay attention to the sport every four years seem to know how to “fix” it. Yes, actual adult, continue to explain why grown men swinging a stick at a ball is okay, but the concept of a tie is beyond the pale. You have strong principles in regards to adults running around in T-shirts. I can respect that.
Sure, diving, corruption, time-wasting, the absurd lack of instant replay for officials remain issues. Soccer has its problems (the size of the goals not among them). So does every sport. If you draw the line at injustice, maybe just stay away from sports.
And if you have decided that soccer is boring because there aren’t enough goals, then this World Cup won’t change your mind. No tournament will. There’s approximately 8,000 square yards and around 90 minutes where the ball isn’t in the back of the net. Perhaps you’re watching it the wrong way?
