    Ridiculous! Back in the 60s it was common to have 6-0, 8-0 and even 12-0 results in the top soccer leagues all around Europe and no-one died as a result. Bruised egos? Definitely. But have we not discovered in the course of our lives that mistakes and personal defeats have taught us more than continuous success? This attempt to control the outcome of soccer matches is an affront to the spirit of sports competitions ("May the best man/woman/team win" anyone?) and seems to send a twisted message that simultaneously tells the losing kids that someone will always have their backs while telling the winning ones that they should refrain from doing their best. Well, those kids should learn only one simple lesson: "There's always someone better than you". This suits them all as it teaches them that no-one wins forever, so instead of getting cocky they should learn humility (a sore loser is bad enough, a sore winner is insufferable) and that losing isn't the end of the world but rather an opportunity to analize what went wrong and to improve oneself.

    I do apologize if I don't make much sense but I seem to have had too much to drink after lunch!

    Have a great day, everyone!

    Life ain't fair, Macelena. This "holier than you" attitude is (one of) the problem(s) with religions. I say when someone or something takes itself way too seriously and you feel forced to take it seriously as well, then the time has come to make fun of it big time!

     

    Don't make me post the Danish Mohammad cartoons here!
