The Astecs had a game where 2 teams kicked a ball through a basketball hoop and the losing team got sacrificed right? (Unless Discovery channel lied to me, as they've been know to do)

So probably Quetzalcoatl, or maybe Chaac instead.

No it was the WINNING team. That’s how devoted to their gods they were.

You know... that makes my country's performance at penalties make a lot more sense. Chaac doesn't want to see professionals with millions of euros worth of training preform outstanding athletic feats.

The god of soccer just wants to see complete amateurs flailing comically.
