I always considered soccer a game for those who don't have enough talent to play anything else.  It is perfect for 4 and 5 year olds because they can't really play anything else.  It is also the sport that kids who aren't tough enough to play football play.  I guess the fact that you can feild a team from any third world country is an advantage.  Maybe we should just drop soccer balls everywhere instead of bombs and maybe there would be enough soccer moms with mini-vans world wide to keep their kids from becoming terrorists.  I would guess the terrorists are kids who weren't any good at soccer.  It is probably that simple.
