I specifically said DEFENSE, but we're getting away from the original question.

the original question was dumb. to those that enjoy the sport, one of the more entertaining matches from this WC was a 0-0 draw.

its not up to the sport to cater to one specific country that has a bunch of ignorant old farts who dont really have any interest in soccer anyway, but still find a need to criticize it to death.

as far as your second point, the country is full of out-of-work basketball and football players. if it was as easy as you say, im sure someone would have figured it out a long time ago.
