    I think I figured out why soccer fans are so resistant to simple changes that would fix the blatant problems with the game (multiple refs, having to explain penalties, possible use of instant replay, harsher penalties for faked injuries).

    They are willing to accept that their team will get screwed once and a while for the sake of watching their opponents get screwed too! The schadenfreude of watching say us upstart American’s who clearly don’t get “football” get screwed out of one goal after another is more than pay off for any thing that goes against them for example.

    Actually it’s not soccer fans who resist the changes, it’s the impenetrable castle of soccer overseers called FIFA. FIFA represents the UN far more than it does American democracy, with predictable results.

    David, I hate to say it, but you’re starting to sound like the kind of character in Monty Python who would prompt Graham Chapman’s King Arthur to plead “Shut up! Will you please shut up?!”

    “Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I’m being repressed!”

    All in jest, David. I forgot that you hate that (awesome) movie. I was just comparing you to some of the characters that keep prattling on, complaining about something until King Arthur says “shut up!”

    Also, I’m now using this opportunity to brag about having the Dutch in the final in my office pool, even though it really wasn’t that improbable.

    I was trying to think of some way to incorporate the Dutch into “Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake!” and nothing came to mind. But man, if Norway ever does something noteworthy on the international scene, it’s going to be awesome: Fear! Fire! Fjords! Awake!
