    About Me: I have lived in different areas and am faithful to their passions, give or take. Born and raised in Bloomington, Indiana (1970-1989). Knight was a central figure. I then lived in Chile, where soccer became impressed upon me more than before. Returned to South America in 2005 with my then small family of wife and two girls. I love American football, b-ball, baseball, and more sports... How long does this profile go? It's all good. Except: where in the cyberuniverse are all the comments from the last four years???!!!!

    Soccer is the World Sport, but I still don't like Offsides Rule

    Soccer is the World Sport, but I still don't like Offsides Rule

    I watched most of the Iraq/South Africa 0-0 tie today.

    ESPN2, you are great. I enjoyed the game. Even though I was hoping both South Africa and Iraq had been more aggressive offensively.

    But this offside rule?

    Nope. I have always had a hard time understanding it, both tactically and strategically.

    And what is wrong with scoring a few goals?

    What is wrong with an 8-6 game?

    Not enough shots on goals, not enough scoring.

    Until then, I will still watch World Cup competition (and my hometown IU college team) and enjoy it.

    But this non-scoring offside enforcing mumbo jumbo?

    Save it for the third world.

    Me and my first world aspirations will take the scoring of "slow" baseball (shout out to Ms. Horne), basketball and football.

    And even tennis. You gotta love it. Love-forty.

    And as far as the Iraqis? Good luck. You guys deserve some breaks.
