I watched Germany beat Sweden this morning, and I got to thinking about America's apathy when it comes to The World's Sport.

So I figured I'd write a comic about it this morning. I considered how soccer players are truly in shape, how they have incredible stamina, cannot afford to be overweight, etc. Which made me think of Shaq with his cherry-picking and Barry Bonds and his doping. And I had a comic drawn up in my mind and ready to go.

But then I saw a Swedish player on the field take a dive. And now I'm torn. I'd love to write a comic skewering the drama queens that dive, writhe around, leave the field on a stretcher, and come back a minute later, all in the name of "strategy".
