the very clear anti-sports bias and rhetoric (how very original...) prevented me from finishing the article.
however, i'll just say this: a team of amateur soccer players will lose to professionals every single time. this isn't throwing dice or drawing cards. both teams have to be VERY good at soccer to reduce the outcome of a pro match to anywhere near "random".
like in anything else, it's only when skills are evenly matched that the outcome of a game cam be influenced by small variables.
