People can't understand the prevention of a goal counts as much as a goal scored to the final outcome. The only people who deal well in negative numbers are creditors. Defense never gets proper credit, regardless of the so called race of the defenders. This is defense discrimination.
Anyways, Hamm did influence games through passes and the drawing of coverage; she played hard on defense too. I don't remember anything about the goalkeepers in the men's worldcup final. The brazilian one was a red-head; the french one a shaven head (he pitched shut outs throughout the Cup, right?)
I do remember Ronaldo getting tripped in the box and the Brazilians leaving Zidane uncovered on corner kicks out of what appeared to be third world solidarity.
