Watching football with women can be very sweet and painful at the same time, she's asking me why they are scoring many goals in a very short time and then they don't count all the goals.
How do I explain to her that some of the goals are replays? Please help a brother#PORESP

Fair play to Cristiano Ronaldo. It just goes to show that if at first you don't succeed then try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.
