It was the official opening game of the Women's World Cup Soccer - Germany vs Canada.
Germany came in as world cup owners and the favorite, Canada came in as #6 in the world.
The final score was Germany 2 Canada 1. The German goals were good ones. Canadian goal was a super free kick from just outside the penalty area by Canada's super star captain - a delightful goal, that no doubt will go down in history as one of the great free kick goals of all time in women's soccer.
I was the captain of our High School Soccer team, so I kinda have soccer in my heart a little per se.
BUT after this comment of mine on the basic outcome, what have I seen in the now today lady's world Soccer. VERY DISAPPOINTING TO SEE WOMEN'S SOCCER DEGENERATE INTO THE PUSH AND SHOVE, ARMS FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE, YELLOW CARDS GIVEN OUT, AS IT IS IN MEN'S WORLD SOCCER.
A product of modern wins at all costs in such contact team sports like Hockey and Soccer - degeneration into soccer professionalism.
It is sad to see women's soccer go the way of men's soccer - but such is the secular world.
Not being a follower of Basketball I have no idea if it has degenerated as soccer has.
I guess Baseball and Cricket (which I played and was captain for the last year in High School) is still a basic none contact sport, yet pro baseball has had it on the field fights (disgustingly sad to say).
American Football and Rugby has enough normal contact to make those games hard enough without deliberate foul contact.
Well I doubt from today's Soccer game between Germany and Canada I will watch if any more of the games, maybe the final cup game I will watch, but that is a maybe from the state of how women play soccer today.
More signs of the times in the downward degeneration of so many things in the world today.
How we need God's Kingdom to come. Yes there will be "sports" in the age to come, but all will be played with skill and no "win at all cost" attitude. There will be friendliness with fair play from all sides.
