27-26 score fan...well I'm worlds apart from you. Personally I don't buy into the American basketball culture of high scores are entertainment.
Football is not about a game littered with mistakes and easy opportunities. It is about the theatre and drama of a closely fought contest with great attacking, great defending great saves a fag paper between victory and defeat 2-1 the ideal score.
You can't beat the gladiatorial battle between great centre forwards and great centre halts.
