I don't care where...

... just FAR awwwayyy...

I forgot to mention that I watched the fabled Man U vs. Arsenal match last night when it was replayed on Fox Sports. Wow. I'll admit here, I don't often really enjoy a soccer match. Being a hockey guy, I find most soccer games on the slow side. That isn't to say that no hockey game is boring. Trust me, no one hates a trapping, defensive hockey game more than I do, but a good aggressive game... Canucks vs. Avalanche or Leafs vs. Blues from about... maybe 10 years ago now, back in the Doug Gimour leaf days, man.. nothing beats that. The reason for this is simple, no game played in shoes can compete with the speed of skates. Having said that, the Man U/Arsenal game was a game that showed how exciting soccer can be. Constant attacking, high emotions, and a blistering pace right from the opening whistle... no wonder they're calling it the match of the year. Too often soccer is full of whining, diving, and slow paced plodding, 3 things that will make me turn away everytime. Both teams in this though, and the referree as well, deserve top marks for their work in this match.
