Excuse me, I suppose I should call it foot-ball, like the rest of the world does.
At highly anticipated Barcelona-Real Madrid soccer match, riot police and protesters clash outside
Here we have the most exciting foot-ball match of the season - Real Madrid vs. Barcelona - hundreds of millions watching on the telly, a hundred thousand paying customers in the stadium, a couple hundred thousand outside (doing some political stuff, but...), and was what the result?????\
0 - 0.
What other sport would TOLERATE such an important contest resulting in...NO RESULT AT ALL???
Let them use their fucking HANDS, for Christ sake! Make it a real sport!
Tangent: Am I on to something here? Maybe we Americans can call Soccer "Foot-Ball," with a hyphen, and at least we will know what we are writing about.
