I have to agree that the most exciting matches I have ever seen have been ones with fierce competition. Last year, in the elimination rounds, it was great to see teams unleashing on each other, and defense coming into play. How much fun is it going to be this year with everybody being a winner? In my opinion, if nobody loses, then nobody wins.

This year's game is like a swim meet -- except that the teams never swim at the same time. First team A sends 4 players out, and they swim. Then team B sends 4 players out and they swim. But, it never happens that you are swimming along and notice that the other team is way ahead and their swimmers are flying, and you try to pull ahead yourself. No, it would be bad for your self-esteem if somebody beat you. That wouldn't be any fun.

Personally, I love the game, the balls, the goals on wheels, and the rest of the game. But please, give me an opponent.
