I think it was a joke about knowing you’re going to lose the soccer game, and proceeding to lose. I don’t play soccer either but I can still relate.
Edit: really this goes for a ton of point-based competitive sports. It might be obvious that the game isn’t going your way in the first 20 minutes, but you can’t go home until you hear the buzzer
Yeah, maybe. The thing is that in soccer, it’s still a game which both sides can play, even if you’re down by a ton of goals. Yes, maybe your chances are bad, but you still get to play and make meaningful decissions.
In monopoly, you’re stuck playing a circular version of Chutes and Ladders with no meaningful decissions.
