That's why people complain about the Military's wages. A football earns more in a match (doesn't even have to be full 90 minutes) than a soldier earns in his life (okay slightly exaggerating, but not that much!) Even though a soldier won't have much to spend his good wages on when out on duty, and will be bigger targets because they're more wealthy, it's still outrageous.

You do get those that stay up though, play with passion and don't drop like flies but they're becoming rare now. Rooney, as much as I hate him, is one of them. He just flies down the middle and fearlessly blasts it in, he doesn't try to ''beat around the bush'' as they say.

Yeah good on those players, they're becoming a rarity but I'm afraid that's just the way the game is going.
Games are far more entertaining when they have a good amount of movement and are open, but I don't find watching the games to be as entertaining as I used to (which even at that point, wasn't very much at all). Same goes with some other sports. The opening game was decently enjoyable, but this Argentina/Nigeria one was boring.
