Reccos, you must be from accross the pond because that has to be one of the most dumbest comments I've ever seen on this board. Have you ever watched a high school, college, pro football or baskestball game. Basketball and football games don't draw 1,000's of more fans than soccer games because the fans want to watch a bunch of dumbies. In football and basketball they actually have to "learn" a playbook and think about the next several steps in front of them, like soccer on every play. And also sports are not "beautiful" our wives and kids are beautiful. Sports are great when there competitive and ugly.
