i like soccer but i don't like how it's played and officiated. in basketball or football, people will hate on you and think badly of you for taking a dive. in hockey, you get penalized for it. in soccer IT'S PART OF THE GAME. i'm sorry but that's just gay...if your team is up, you pretend to be hurt to waste time. in most sports, you kill time by maintaining possession and PLAYING THE GAME! and the officiating has been ridiculously, blatantly anti-american. but maybe it's not political, maybe the refs just give the game to the team whose fans are more likely to kill them. i don't know, but i'm kind of sick of the game.
