Soccer is a "socialist" sport which is why it is so popular in socialist countries (in other words the rest of the world besides the US). It's a metaphor for what happens in these countries-nothing much. Look at Spain for example. Is Spain concerned with "winning" anything, "producing" anything? No.
Now look at American sports:
Football: Getting into someone's territory, scoring lots of points (in other words producing a lot of stuff)
Basketball: Same thing. Scoring lots of points. Hot and heavy competition down to the last second. Kind of like capitalism, right?
Soccer: Oh well, we lost 1-0. Maybe we'll beat them 1-0 in 10 years. Does it really matter anyway? I'm late for my Dole check....
