Yeah, Slick, my criticisms were completely VALID. The cluefucks are the people like you who pretend there is competition. The very definition of sports is an athletic even where there is COMPETITION, not where events are determined by random draw (note the proper usage of the word "draw"). Soccer isn't a sport.

Tiebreakers in a game consist of playing until someone wins. Reason #2132 why football, hockey, baseball or basketball is a sport, while soccer isn't.

However, it's still better than flipping a coin. Cheers. |
