I laughed at seeing one wit call soccer very "Seinfeldian," in that it is a game about nothing.
Most matches end in ties, or so I understand. The players run up and down the field and fans yell like idiots at this nothingness. I was embarassed to see a photo of some bare-chested, fat American oaf in the stands with a flag painted on his face. Have a little self-respect...
I have long maintained that the world's aspiring overlords promote the game to Americans so that we could join the rest of the world in this wheel-spinning, zero-sum time-waster...instead of killing aspiring overlords.
Now that would be a sport worth watching...and uniquely American...
