Could well be. Boy did he get ****** off when the team that was ahead
would try to keep control of the ball and run out the clock. Then I'd
really make him mad by saying that the scoring was so low that you
couldn't tell if a team won by skill or chance, and how they should
make the goal bigger so you could have some double digit scores. (He's
a mathematician) I'd compare soccer with basketball, and the movement
of the ball in soccer with Brownian motion. ;-))
