Goals Are Overrated

Goals are overrated: a recurring joke on The Guardian's Football Weekly podcast. This blog: observations about soccer by an American who would like to call it football, but would rather avoid confusion. "Goals are overrated" might have further resonance with those who follow football here in the United States, especially those who try to watch live streaming matches on a certain sports network's website because the network itself chooses to show bass fishing rather than the Premier League, and the stream has no problems until the build up to a goal, when one can hear the commentator yell "goal" while the video gets stuck on the manager gesticulating wildly. The stream is, of course, back and working just fine just in time to see the goal scorer get booked for removing his shirt. Anyway, there should be actual posts soon.
