My brother invited me to watch the U.S. v. Ghana this morning.
I went for his sake, knowing he is a soccer nut. (I'm a nothing nut, and can't pass for a regular dude even momentarily).
I noticed that the soccer fields where striped along the width (mowed differently in about 10 yard increments)…when I asked my brother why, he told me it helps the refs discern if a player is offsides.
Alternating stripes are helpful in comprehending grids and rows…and soccer games.
