glimmertwin,
I LOVE great defense in every sport I watch!!! Every sport I have been involved in teaching to my daughter, I have always taught defense first and foremost - to the point where she is a goalie in soccer.
The core of my opinion - if you are referring to me with your condescending comments about "americans are not ready of soccer" - rests with how great defensive games are decided. It is interesting that all of your examples of great defense in sports that the US loves - the decision of a winner is made with all of the athletes participating.
I just don't understand why soccer - a beautiful team game - defaults to potentially deciding its champion with something so lacking in teamwork as PK's?
