>>Arsenal have just recently lost to Barcelona.
I know soccer as well as I know cricket or baseball.
Is this a bad thing?
The lack of knowledge is only 'bad' in its relation to cricket. It marks a
deficiency of civility. Regarding whether Arsenal losing to Barcelona is a
'bad thing', it entirely depends on which team you support. A Spurs fan, for
example, would relish the result.
Would it be worse than a loss to France?
For an Arsenal fan probably, considering the match was the European Cup
Final. However, a loss to France wouldn't be nearly so traumatic as a loss
to Germany or Argentina. Conversely, a loss to Brazil, providing it was
close, would be heroic. Of course, all this assumes that it's England
playing. If it were Scotland, the mere fact that a match against any of
these teams was taking place would be sufficient for a celebration; a win
would just be unbelievable.
Plus, are the Argies really the brutal and violent players they are
reputed to be?
Without doubt; they don't play cricket.
