They’ve been blasting clips of the World Series game all over the news all night and how exciting the game was and what not…and I have to say that they have about as many highlights as a boring boring boring futball (soccer) match…like seriously…the best you could do was a some home runs and a catch?
Where’s the athletic ability of moving around your opponent or out thinking them? Also, a score of 10-11 means that the last bastion of skill in the game (pitching) no longer exists…the World Series is a farce where fans come out to cheer two teams of guys who sit around for 5 hours…
In other news…there was an amazing play today in Italian soccer that I have to tell you about.
Spectacular…(just one little play and it was good enough to watch again and again and again and again)…Del Piero played the offside trap perfectly and got a really sweet head start on a pass…it was right on the edge of the box and the keeper dove out to grab it but realised that it was outside the box so he spun in the air and just kicked the ball (which is 6 feet off the ground) out of bounds.
Thing was that it was so close that on TV you couldn’t tell whether he touched it with his hands or not (the ref had a good view and he said no) but they showed it again from a different angle and zoomed in a you just the guys ability to twist himself in the air to just just just kick it out…one play…played perfectly…defended perfectly…refed perfectly…beautiful…
