It ain't sport: it's The Lottery. The law of accident determines IF a shot might just get through. Gots nuthin to do with "individual player ability" any more than the Brownian movements in air have "individual OR collective talent":

All the molecules in the room in one corner.. sometime? Why that would be merely, Maxwell's Demon.. not skill.

yer Right. Was just funnin ya.

I'm amazed at what these guys (and gals..) can do with *their heads*,let alone feet. Saw much of the Mexico game izzall.. My guess is that Tee Vee lets you see a lot more shot detail than being there, though of course nothing quite equals being There.

(As to rebuttal: imagine a 'shutout' baseball game.. with 0 runs, at least for one side. Hmmm has there ever been a double-shutout game? Nahhh.. I guess they'd keep going for 1 run until the 99th inning or until pitchers' retirement age - whichever comes first)


Cheers,
