Brazil - Germany Gold Medal Match

[RU848789]

I'm laughing hysterically. Did you take that right from the soccer announcer crib notes - you sound like one of those marble mouth Brit announcers who try to make watching paint dry an Olympic sport. " cracking good session", "countering with conviction" - what a friggin soccer snob. The only reason I watch on Desportes is so I can hear the guy scream Goooooooaaaallll when the unusual happens. Now that's cracking good and done with conviction.

You got me, Sherlock - I'm incapable of coming up with descriptions on my own, so I steal them from the press. Thanks for confirming you're only here to troll.

Husky: You don't like PKs. Got it. Is there anything else you can add to this conversation..?

You were probably looking forward to PKs because the team's knew that was how the game was to be decided and took the foot off the pedal to run out the clock. Imagine, the strategy of some teams from the outset is to get the game to PKs. That to me destroys the essence of the game, unless the essence of the game is the PKs. If that's the case, then the game is even worse than I originally thought. The game deserves to be denigrated if contrived high drama is substituted for real sports drama. There are plenty of reasonable alternatives.

And yes, horse racing is far more exciting and dramatic and thrilling and beautiful.
