The Frustration of the Adult Soccer Fan

The child who is a soccer fan may, after an inspiring game, grab his ball, run outside and play at being an athletic god like Cristiano Ronaldo. The adult fan has no such ready outlet for his inspiration. After the game, he usually has no choice but to face the fact that it has altered nothing in his own life. This may account for the popularity of golf among soccer fans over thirty. After watching Tiger Woods, even a middle-aged man can go out on the links and feel inspired to improve his handicap.
