An A Posteriori Argument For Soccer

I came across this only after I posted the last time. And this, once again, proves the philosophical superiority of soccer. And even more so the superiority of not scoring versus scoring (see previous, a priori, argument).

The deduction from this: that sports are a game of wits.

ENJOY THIS LINK!

The thing of it is: I'm a little upset that Kierkegaard didn't make the roster. The Germans could've used his emotional edge.

Barth should have been in the game. When the German team breaks down, his keen insight into miracles would have made the difference. By the way, Bultman tried out for the team but he didn't believe balls could roll backward.

Excellent clip!!!! Showed it to a co-worker who is into philosophy and we laughed the whole time. However, to be true to history the Eureka guy showed have been playing in the buff. So it goes that when he got the idea he was bathing and without thinking he ran to the king butt naked with his declaration. However, and this is not substantiated, he was executed for flashing

Unfortunately, Kierkegaard is Danish.

On the other hand, Miroslav Klose is Polish, so I'm not sure it really matters all that much.

You know who doesn't think it matters? Nietsche and Heidegger.

Doesn't matter if he's Danish. He could've helped da Germans. And dane, or denmark or whatever the country is, is close enough to Germany. Plus, I heard they tried to green card him before the game, and something happened with the paperwork.

Also, I'm sure losing matter to Nietsche.
