It's not just about the goals, it's about the strategies, like baseball. North Americans are too much into the end result instead of the nuances of the game.

If I wanna watch a tactical battle I watch tennis. The 1v1 mental battle and trying to outwork and outwit your opponent is much more interesting to me than watching 80 guys run up and down a field for 2 hours with maybe a goal every couple games

I also like soccer, the diving is so annoying though.

Good for him hopefully coaching works out for him: he's had to scrape and learn his entire career, sure he'll be able to pick up coaching over time. - NewYorkNuck

You are dead to me.
May the worms infesting a thousand dogs haunt your guts as you lie writhing drastically in a pool of urea.
Ya that is pretty ironic, I'd imagine they keep it cool while in a country like Russia though - neem55
The Brits learned the hard way in Turkey a few Euros back. Shanked and the police just stood around and let guys bleed out. People wouldn't help them... were telling them they got what they deserved etc... different rules on that side of the Mediterranean.
Has anybody watched "The Real Football Factory"? Once they started getting into the eastern European Ultras it got pretty damn scary. They did a segment on the Grave Diggers in Serbia. Wow... taking a guy to a grave yard and raping him at gun point over his Ultras leader's grave... crazy. I knew a guy from World of Tanks in our clan who was from that group of Ultras. He was after all that crazy stuff happened he said but it is a war zone when their league has playoffs every year.
Honestly, the Brit hooligans are fat slobs who get beat up everywhere now. I watched the battles between the Russian hooligans fighting the Brits the last Euro and it was embarrassing if you are of Brit stock. This smaller group of lean fighting shape Russians kept fighting a retreat that was leaving a trail of knocked out fat drunk English slobs... it went on for blocks and blocks and no Russians were getting hurt. This one Ruski got seperated from his group with 5 Brits on him and he took out three before the other two chickened out.... this guy was a warrior. For effect, everyone of them had a black t-shirt on with no print. To the point....

The thing I keep thinking about while waiting for training camp is who is Pettersson going to play with this year? It obviously depends on whether he plays RW or C but the options on the team are pretty awful
