Luckily, I didn't get sunburned too badly. The alcohol made it all better, though.

You should check it out. From everything I've heard about it, it'd be right your dainty little alley.

I guess it's easy to say "you just don't understand," but actually, the more I understand about soccer, the more I think of it as a silly game. * Shootouts -- Ridiculous. It's the brute-force approach, where goalies basically have to guess which direction to dive before the ball is even kicked. * Overtime -- Two periods with no sudden death (which makes having two periods kind of pointless if you're not going to at least stop the game if someone scores in the first period, but whatever). How can soccer not have sudden death? I'm sure it's pretty improbable that both teams would score in OT, but why take that chance? A shootout isn't the answer. * Flopping -- Yeah, I never liked Tyler Hansbrough, either. * No replay -- Goals are kind of important in soccer, right? * Extra time -- There's one guy on the field who knows when the game will end, even though they could just stop the clock every once in a while... that's uh, mildly reeruned. Every sport has problems, there are probably good reasons for some of that stuff, etc... but, it's not just a lack of goals and an lack of appreciation for the nuances of the game.

referencing the above, I forgot to add that if the referee comes over and waves a card (might be a queen of clubs, I'm not sure on this) at the opposing player nearest you then you are immediately healed.
