Yet Another Reason to Love Soccer
Zoom forward to the 1:50 mark of the video and you’ll see Arsenal’s Robin Van Persie score on a penalty kick in last week’s season opener against Fulham. What follows can best be described as something done only by antagonistic five year-olds who are bored during recess. After Van Persie deposits the ball in the net, players from both sides chase each other around the field trying to get their hands on the ball. It all basically amounts to an incredibly expensive and well attended game of keep-away.
Ok, so maybe it’s not really a legitimate reason to love soccer, but it is quite entertaining.
