I'm a soccer fan, the game is such a fine mix of skill (individual and collective) and luck, it is reminiscent of life itself.
I'm rarely a fan of commentators however, who more often than not and after the fact will point out how inevitable it was that one team won and the other one lost. The winning team was "more effective at defense", had "a brilliant striker", and what have you and so on. Still the winning goal might have been caused by a penalty after an attacker pretended to be tripped, a lucky shot from afar deflected off a defender, or the goalkeeper had sun in the eyes.
Rarely does a commentator admit that the win was luck. Or the that the loss was unlucky. Just saying.
