The World Cup

They are playing the World Cup of Soccer these days, and while it's interesting enough for the sense of event, well, on the whole it isn't interesting enough.

Ivory Coast and Portugal played a 0-0 tie yesterday. Sorry, draw, to use soccer parlance. That simply isn't interesting, folks.

Indeed, there have been several ties already in the tournament. It seems as though there have been more ties than victories. Don't they know how to score?

Soccer needs to do something about that. Widen the goal, perhaps, or take a couple players off the field, or get rid of the offsides call, anything to pick up the pace and make the game worth watching. But until and unless they do, soccer will always be dull.

They need to get rid of that annoying racket caused by the horns they blow incessantly through matches too. Although why fans do that is understandable. They need to be entertained while they watch the games.
