Soccer is sometimes characterized as a cruel sport, not because it is a violent sport, but instead, its cruelty in its administration of justice on the field. It is perhaps the most democratic of team sports, where on any given day, the highest ranked team in the World could lose to the lowest ranked one, and conversely, the most dominant team on the field doesn't always win. It is highly unforgiving of mistakes, perhaps more so than any other team sport. In many ways, it is this unknown that excites spectators, causing great excitement when the forces of the soccer world behave as they should as much as when they don't, especially in championship games.
