but there's really too much air-time in that flop for a ham-string pull. I know - not only did I play soccer in my youth, I've got restless leg syndrome along with some nerve damage so night-time leg cramps can be quite entertaining to the cats on the bed.

As he put it: they play hard from start to finish with none of the crybaby bullshit.


Not long ago I saw a picture of one women's soccer player still on the field and playing with her face bloodied.
