I don't really understand or care about soccer, but I watched some of that video. I loved how he more than once shook off an intercepting player by simply pretending to shift in one direction, then immediately shifting back again. The other player takes the bait and shifts his weight to the opposite side, not being able to recover and continue chasing when he realizes he's been had. All this without Messi even touching the ball
That must be a pretty frustrating move to be outplayed by. |

Seriously. It's bad enough that we watch it. Instant replay has really destroyed a bad thing.

You mean how four hours of game are generally divided between 60% commercials, 20% instant replay, and 20% actual game?

but unlike soccer, that 5% is at least entertaining

Whenever I think of football the image that always immediately pops into my head is a bunch of guys milling around looking bored with their arms akimbo.

That qualifier the other week was ridiculous, the scrutiny and pressure on him when he plays for Argentina would finish most players off but he thrived on it, made sure that they won. |
