Meh to me it's not really trying to win. I'ts kind of like the trap back in the day. Sure it may be an effective stragety, but we saw what happens when matches become too defensive. The same can also be said for the opposite as well.

I dont' ahve a solution, I"m just telling it how I see it from my prespective.

Seems to be a common occurance lately.

And that's the reason I hate those journos and TV/radio commentators, who moan about countries who call it soccer.

If we hadn't called football, soccer ourselves, the Americans, Australians, and whoever else, wouldn't have had the chance to call the sport that in the first place.

They are a bit two-faced IMO.

Nope. Especially when you write to complain about them.

Forgive him that one - he does watch the Marlins after all.

That's a very rare thing, and good to see for their future success.
