Five goals in a single contest is almost unheard of in soccer, a game where shutouts seem to be the rule rather than the exception. For those of us who find it difficult to sit through a scoreless inning let alone an en- tire 90 minutes, the veritable shootout that. took place on Sunday was a welcome sight. The same can't be said for most of the remainder of the games that found their way to the television screen. ' It's not that I don't like soccer.: On the • contrary, it was the first team sport I eier played. For the 20 or so males in niy public school class, it was the only game in town. We played it in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, in sunshine, rain, sleet, mud and snow. I can remember trying to drib- ble a soccer ball through three -foot -high drifts in al nowsuit that provided- con- siderably less mobility than a strait- jacket. # - The scores of those games were usually" in the neighborhood of 20-19, give or take a. touchdown or two. The high scoring usual- ly prevented many from freezing to death though if the goalie didn't get much work he had to be dug out from under a drift and revived at the end of recess. Memories like theseprevent me from getting too excited about a 1-0 `squeaker' between West Germany and Mexico in 28 degree sunshine. And I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not the only one. I tuned intoa game. early on in the tour- nament just in time to catch the chaos that follows that extremely rare occurrence in soccer known as a goal. Everyone, in- cluding the fansof the team that had been scored upon, appeared to, be celebrating. I guess when you've waited 83 minutes: for something to happen, even a goar against is a welcome break from the monotony. A few days later I awoke from a nap in time to hear a distinctly British and quite sophisticated voice utter the rnagic wor : ."Yes, I must admit that this game has been raaaather boring." 'Nuff said. If he wasn't having a good time then I, the lover' of the shoot-out, wasn't going to like it either. I finished my nap. . And then . there's the story about the television network that wants to run a 30 minute highlight packageof its„ coverage the World Clip. The only, problem it forsees with the project is the 29 minutes of; g going its to. have to sell. Yes, I suppose I'm cynical. But.then we can't all be as intense as the fan who smug- gled a shotgi into, a World Cup game in Brazil in 1958 He watched intently for the first 85 minutes as the teams fought. it out to a - scoreless draw. With just a few minutes left in the game, the opposition got a .break. One of their players got a clear route to the net and lofted a shot toward the open side, of the gpal. It was then that the hometown fan could take no more. He stood up, raised the gun, aimed --and blew the 'ball out of the air .before it entered the net. Now that's a shootout. s' 1� holds Track Meet in` 4e .c . c +-x • The Huron -Perth Itimatt Catholic -School Board held its Track and Field MeellatiWeek Meeta t St. Mary's School 1ra,Gddericlt.
