Should soccer leagues that have a playoff scenario similar to that of the NHL, MLB or NBA, adopt 7 game series instead of one game knockouts in their league structures? I understand why the NFL and CFL don't do it, but I don't get it with soccer. 

Honestly, do you really have to spy on the other team in soccer? Is the game really that complex? 🤔

Wish England had won the EuroCup.

That was cool when they tied it up. ⚽

One thing I loved about Canada's play at the World Cup of Soccer: it looked like they were playing to win. Unfortunately, they didn't. But trying to win's so much better than winding up with three ties. 

Go Canada and Québec! ⚽🏒🏀🏈

The Olympics were pretty incredible.

Amazing what those athletes can do.

Notably Canada and Québec's Damian Warner, who picked up decathlon gold!

Not to mention gold for Canadian and Québécoise women's soccer.

Fotbal Infinit (Infinite Football)

Sometimes you savour the sweet conversation effortlessly generated by bizarro dreams. 

The improbability encourages rash exploration the ridiculousness of which augments middle-age.

Or any free-spirited time period wherein which dreams distract distinctly, and sweet nothings or crafty fantasies conjure wayward cogent reckonings.

Everything'd be too serious otherwise, there would be no compassionate touch, assuming the difference between reason and absurdity still maintained a coherent balance.

An unacknowledged coherent balance, the irregularities of sincerest trust, cultivated through fleeting foundations, or mutually presumed ill-favour.

In conversation.

There's an art to this kind of conversation which preserves imaginative youth, and myriad compelling narratives have theoretically been spawned thereafter (Ferris Bueller's, Strange Brew . . . ).

Fotbal Infinit (Infinite Football) examines a champion who's taken things way too far, so caught up in his gripping imagination that he's lost sight of the inherent humour.

It seems like he's taking his idea seriously, far beyond rational realistic applications, but he may just be humorously distressed, and there doesn't seem to be much else to talk about.

An injury suffered in his youth led him to stop playing soccer/football, and his dreams of moving to the U.S. were forgotten after his country joined the EU.

Expecting to find excitement in the years following, he instead wound up in a permanent position lacking bureaucratic fluidity.

As the years past his thrilling fantasy became much more appealing than his daily routine, and began to permeate every discussion integrated into his private life.

Does he take things too far in his reckonings and turn every conversation into an awkward exchange, or is there just nothing else left to talk about, and has he found expeditious refrain?

He finds ways to apply his dream to each and every social interaction, it's a remarkable feat of maladroit dynamism, that revels in novel disjunction. 

I'm not sure if he notices the difference between dream and reality any longer, but he's found a way to spice up his life that's at least individualistically invigorating.

What reality's in fact the most ludicrous is perhaps a pertinent question?

Beyond the public sphere.

Quizzical misgivings.

Discursive implosion. 

Nice to see that international Canadian soccer player Christine Sinclair has set the record for most goals in world play.

I've heard that China's investing heavily in soccer in the hopes of contending competitively on the international stage.

That's fantastic.

To consistently compete for the coveted World Cup is something few nations can boast, and with China's vast resources, it's possible it could one day be one of those nations.

But why stop there?

If hoping to develop a world class soccer program, why shouldn't China take its ambition one step further, and create its own North American football league?

It's one thing to compete for international soccer glory every four years, but trying to defeat reigning Super Bowl and Grey Cup champions every year?

That would be incredible.

But next to impossible! ;)

Developing both leagues simultaneously?

That's too much unabridged awesome.

Full-on global excursions.

Indubitably so.

Respect the game of soccer, but "wait till you see this free kick!," is not an adequate response to, "there's no substitute for a well executed touchdown."
