They have the best legs!

We used to have a PR campaign for indoor soccer that said something to the effect that "We have 12 men that can go all night long!"

Another was a close-up photo of the back of a model's legs in heels, with a soccer player poised to kick the ball between her legs. It was called the "Hot Legs" campaign!

Speaking of which, they did a distance track of one of the women's National team players during their 3-0 win over Mexico. At the 65th minute, they reported that she had run the equivalent of nearly 5 miles.

ETA: I know it may not have been directed at me, but the topic of the thread was a joke. Soccer's still my favorite sport of all time, and will coach and referee until I can't run. I just know there's many Americans who hate the beautiful game and would use this as a reason to say it sucks....

We knew, Stan - we're just messin' with you! ;) It would be like me saying that I was done with soccer.

It's all good, Stan.

I will defend (no pun intended---although that was my position when I played) soccer until my last breath! Love the game.
