The champions of soccer are an Italian team that held the United States team to a 1-1 tie after regulation despite two ejections of U.S. players, and survived to hold the French team to a 1-1 tie after regulation (and regulation itself is as flexible as an Illinois speed limit) then to win the title on a tiebreak more bogus than college football's first-and-goal from the 20.
Fox News's John Gibson has it about right.
One crummy little head-butt and you would have thought the world had ended. I've seen worse in peewee hockey. Much worse in baseball, basketball and football.Heck, eight year old State Line girls get into their soccer more aggressively.
