Bravery. RussBall simply oozes bravery. I have only just come to this startling realisation.
I always thought that the game of Foot-the-ball involved winning games, through the mechanism is 'scoring a goal'; and, that achieving said 'goal' was facilitated by 'having a shot '.
RussBall simply oozes bravery. To play so long, presumably with at least a shread of intent to win, and NOT have a shot. Man, that's brave. He's reinvented the game. Brilliant.
