re: its not soccer you americanized zombies
sirfrank,
are you sure he's not pulling up sore because he is emulating the olympic-type diving feats of his older heroes ....fair dinkum, what a load of bollocks!
I reckon they do themselves more damage diving than they do in any tackles.
And what about the bluddy goalies...diving around like 16 stone ballerinas, mostly just hoping like hell they've aimed themselves in the right direction. They need an AFL coach (not necessarily even a good one...Bomber would do) to show them how to take a mark...lol
Yes, some good tactical stuff and a few brilliant shots here and there, but I'll still bet anything that once the WC is over, soccer will go back to being of little interest to the majority of Australians.
