I just wanted to touch on this briefly that in soccer the shooting of "Goool!" is pretty much a tradition, not just an announcer.
I really also don't like getting into the "who is more open minded" debate becasue it is also futile and childish. I think I have been rather openminded and civil not only through out this thread but in my treatment and constant attepmts to learn the game.
I feel that since soccer IS the biggest sport in the world, there must be something there adn that maybe my tastes will someday change. I am still young [20's], and who knows?
