For those who wonder about the idea of 'running the score up' against an opponent, read the AP wire report of a pre-season exhibtion between Villarreal and Navata. Where this seems to be a common practice in college football, this has reached a new level in soccer.
GERONA, Spain (AP) -- Villarreal has begun its Spanish league preparations with a 27-0 victory over minnows Navata in a preseason friendly.
New arrival Jonathan Pereiro scored seven goals while strikers Joseba Llorente and Marcos Ruben notched four each as the topflight club beat the third division side from the Catalan league Sunday.
Villarreal finished fifth in the top league last season and will play in the Europa League -- the former UEFA Cup competition -- this season.

Even Steve Spurrier would have problems putting that many points on the board...
