World Cup

I got thinking after hearing a few people complaining of the 0-0 draws in World Cup; The Reason that Soccer has not caught on in the U.S is because we can't appreciate tranquility, patience, simplicity. We are a society of instant gratification, multi-tasking, digital communication, Google, the "i want it now, no waiting" generation. A Sports Illustrated Article featuring U.S Soccer written by Joe Ponsanski demonstrated this in one quote"

[paraphrased]

"At the highest level of the game, a goal is nothing short of a miracle. You have to move a ball across a large field, eluding 10 obstinate foes, without using your hands. You cannot legally pass the ball to a teammate who has raced past the last defender, Once you approach the goal, you must put the ball into a net 8 yds wide x 8 ft high, guarded by the one man on the field allowed to use his hands. When you think about it, it is an impossible task." -Joe Posnanski "Why Good isn't Good Enough"
