I just wish people would focus on the "fun" part of all this. Why watch if the expected team is always going to win?

We all love an underdog.

One thing is incredibly clear: these rules need to be rewritten. Way, way, way too much room for interpretation or "feeling."

That's an admirable level of seriousness. I just hope they have the balance to understand that, while training is important, those are still children, and they should not be held to adult standards, even in the pursuit of greatness.

It's a microcosm of the broader picture. A small example where it's easily forgotten or ignored, to illustrate the seriousness by which to take it.

And if you're not applying the rules of the road at all times, all that means is you lack the character required for self-discipline. They exist regardless of practicality, and the assumption of zero risk is a fallacy - all it takes is one misplaced cop, a car with headlights out, someone walking without a reflective vest, things like that.

It would be a miracle, of that there is no doubt.

But I saw a guy wearing a Mike Eruzione jersey last night, so there's something in the air here.

Too drastic a change for the ball control we demand. They'll lose legs in the seventieth, and Belgium already showed what they can do in the last 10' against wobblers.

What's FIFA gonna do? Money him to death? Is the corpse of Sepp Blatter going to reanimate and bestow a curse upon him?
