And yet...even after our "better game" we got nothing. And if we get the tie hat trick, we go home. Stupid ****ing "sport".
Ties get you nowhere in any sport.
It takes FAR more athleticism to play soccer than many other sports (looking at you, baseball); and the whole diving thing is about equal to basketball these days (watch any NBA game, let alone international basketball & the point will be driven home).
Being completely objective, hockey requires the most balance between athleticism, endurance, and skill; and I'd say it's a toss-up between football, soccer, & rugby for the number 2 spot. For damn sure, baseball & basketball are nowhere close to the level of athleticism needed to be elite in the other 3 sports.
