The final game of the Wotld Cup was played today. Argentina beat France 3-3. If that sounds wrong, then you don’t believe a tie in basketball should be decided by a game of horse, a game of gridiron decided by a field goal kicking contest, or a baseball game decided by a home run hitting contest. Maybe Australian Rules was a little extreme by replaying the championship game the following week, but deciding a championship on penalty kicks is lame. Maybe making the second and subsequent overtime sudden death, removing a player and allowing a substitution each period would stop boring people to death.
Only three more months until football without fake injuries begins. It feels funny counting down so early. Usually I start counting down after the Super Bore. If gridiron is a good excuse for a nap, soccer is still a good excuse for a coma.
