re: soccer rules.....aust v brazil.
I'm a huge sports fan and can enjoy almost anything but nothing brings out the passion and emotion like soccer.
Read Jason Akermanis' article about AFL v soccer and it's laughable. The problem with AFL is that it is *too* high scoring. Many games are over by 3rd quarter with one team running away with it all. Give 2-3 points for a behind perhaps or maybe only 4-5 points for a goal.
A 0-0 soccer game can be very entertaining just by the fact that someone can score any second and win it all. Edge of your seat stuff, like watching a good movie.
