I'd rather an exciting scoreless draw than a 9-0 mismatch. But I agree that Uruguay - France might not have been the best showpiece for soccer, because France was too dominant and still inefficient. Watch USA - England tomorrow, it will be different, I promise.
Playing for draws is not really normal, but in the final minutes it might be tactically correct where losing a point isn't worth risking. In the world cup teams are guaranteed only 3 group matches so losing any points can be devastating. In the knockout round things are different. Players tend to fall down because their legs tend to get knocked out from beneath them at high speeds. It's an easier thing to 'get' if you've played. Challenges in soccer are usually aimed low, at the feet and legs, which tends to throw you off balance however light. Something to keep in mind before yelling "dive" at any opportunity. |

The one thing I'd change about soccer, is the offside call. Make it like hockey's blue line, where players can't cross the top of the penalty box until after the ball does. The offsides rule in soccer is absolutely, positively, 100% pure retarded. |
