Oh no question about it, that's a fundamental difference in the sport compared to soccer. Football evolved a very complex set of rules and strategies over the years as a result, far more like a chess game, but with 170 pound pieces. Rugby approximates it, but football truly is more complex. I don't think it's likely to attract people who didn't grow up with it, much like baseball. There's a bit of novelty value to the "show," but I'm not as optimistic that football could ever be a popular sport in most of the rest of the world.
yes from the various tid bits I've gleaned from movies I would agree that it is much more strategic and complex a sport, and I think the comparison to a chess game fits nicely 🙂

It used to be said that Rugby Football was a game for toughs played by gentlemen whereas Soccer was a game for gentlemen played by toughs!
That distinction ceased to exist many decades ago!!!

On topic: Listening to Cassandra Wilson's Blue light 'till dawn. Don't mind some of this female vocals against minimalist percussion/acoustic stuff. Though some of it is crap. Don't know what the musicians were smoking on that track Estrellas. And Cassandra has a tendency to mumble - a real contrast to Nnenna Freelon, who I had playing earlier.
Wilson is best when singing covers. Love that resophonic guitar in I can't stand the rain, besides the fustrating restraint.

I peel potatoes just now.
I am thinking though meanwhile.
I cannot turn my brain off unfortunately.
Maybe with a revolver.
What did we get from the new world?
And what we gave to it into an exchange?

Me too! Opened a 1988 Calon Segur, the bottle does not make it around the table anymore without some restraint. The ravages of time. 🙂
