Subject: RE: SOCCER!!I love soccer, and I play indoor during winter. I might play a game or two during summer with friends, but no organized summer soccer for me.
I'm looking forward to the tour this summer as it's coming to Toronto.
Glasgow Celtics vs. Roma, July 31st. It's going to be huge, lot of Italians and Scots in Southern Ontario. They are even going to make a real grass pitch inside Skydome for the day.
As for the people who don't like it you are missing out on one of the most beautiful and skillfull sports in the world, played by some of the best athletes in the world of sports.
None of the major sports demand such a balance between aerobic fitness and sport-specific skills. Average player will cover around 6 miles a game (90 minutes ), often more, with average heart rates between 150-170 bpm.
There are no sissy breaks for commercials, no rests, just 22 people on the pitch, with one ball and two nets. Doesn't get much simpler than that and that is a part of it's appeal and beauty.
