You watch hockey and you get scores of 4-3 or some such and shots on goal like 20-18. You watch soccer, and you get 1-0 with shots on goal 6-5. Jeeeeeezz!

Is this a sport, or an SNL routine?

>Sorry Mike. Uk passport holders only. We are working on a US version of soccer. Huge goals and limbless goalkeepers so there's plenty of "action"

Don't forget stopping the action for 20-30 seconds between every pass or dribble so each team can talk about what they want to do next. And of course a couple of minutes several times a half for TV ads.

In fact I do not have a UK passport. What if I tried to fake it? Do you think the bobbies would pull me aside on suspicion of not having a valid passport?
