What I don't like about soccer is just how many game deciding calls are made and how many of them seem to go badly. It's sport's equivalent of a Greek tragedy. Nothing ever really goes right. There's always some controversy. And there seems to be a reluctance to really clean the game up using video review, after the fact suspensions and the like.
You may like the theater of the Uruguay Italy game but all I saw was a horribly choppy game from all the diving and theatrics. Blown calls. And no real resolution at all on who the better team was or who should have won. It just felt like I was in the twilight zone watching some interpretation of a sporting event with the dials cranked on all the things I liked the least.
