Lol, I love the gladiator comparison. They do do some vicious $hit in soccer. Maybe the basketball games are easier to watch by families etc... because it is indoors. I mean, watching the soccer games in the heat is unbearable. Imagine how bad it is for the players. And you know how it goes, all that extra heat really shortens people's tempers. Oh well, lets hope that there are no fights this year. The soccer guys train really hard. They actually have proper practices where they run etc... Its not like basketball where a practice is basically another name for a pick up game. So it would be a waste to lose or get suspended because of some stupid fight.
