Not everyone is looking forward to the World Cup.
There’s a whole group of sports journalists who are actively hostile to soccer and every four years the World Cup sets them off.
The usual complaints will fill the air:
- They don’t understand it -it’s 11 v 11 and whoever scores the most goals wins. it’s not complicated.
- It’s too boring -baseball and NASCAR are boring, this isn’t.
- It’s not an American sport -so?
- It’s not tough enough -there’s more bodily contact than NBA/MLB and none of the padding a la NFL/NHL. and wait till you see Oguchi Onyewu wrestle a centre forward.
- There aren’t enough goals -how do you know? and yes, there are.
Expect this debate to hot up when the tournament starts.
