My favorite part of a soccer/futbol match
I've never watched an entire soccer match. I know almost nothing about the game. I decided to watch part of a World Cup match since it was on broadcast TV for free. My favorite part is the referee. Unlike American sports, where the referees are these dispassionate judges, I love that the soccer referees are right down there in the action. I especially love when they are officiating a play, they are right in the face of the players, explaining their transgression. It looks like an elementary school teacher on the playground, disciplining the students, gesturing and pointing.
