"Football isnt the most popular sport in the world for no reason. A bad ref call happens now and then, after all the referees are human beings, and plus this isnt like hockey where they have 2 or 3 refs. The football refs have to cover the whole football field, and sometimes they are bound to get it wrong."

Well, you just highlighted a shortfall didn't you? How about adding a few more refs and instant replay? Hmmmmm.

"And as for the offside rule, without the offside rule it would make everything easy for the fowards. They can just hang around near the keeper at the penalty box, and then get the balls delivered, and the defenders are powerless. The offside rule is one of the best thing ever happened to football."

Like I said, add a blue line like hockey did, and you solve that problem. That is how hockey dealt with off sides and it's a much better solution.

"And as for the penaltty kicks. The name says it all, PENALTY kick, you commit a foul inside the box, and you get punished for it. Otherwise defenders can just dive in and kick anyone and anything they see in the box, in order to stop them scoring"

And the penalty kick should be at aound 15 meters. Right now, it's all but a sure thing. It's ridiculous.

Mad love get over it man.Ghana deserved to go to the next round more than the AMericans.If you dont understand the game that everyone in the world loves exacpt for america dont watch it.

GANGIRL shut up

Get a life you sexually frustrated bastard

you wanna satified my needs woman with your horsy teeth that i find you sexy.

Fist of all its called Football all over the world except for 4 countries,
Canada, USA and Australia and New Zealand.

secodly remove the offside rule then you will have people
camping near the oponents goal, movement will slow down.
the games spontaniety will be lost, startegy will be more important,
coaches will be more involved in the game as positioning becomes important, and Goals will multiply to duble digits.

The Beautifull game will have more goals, but its spontaneity, skill level
and unpredictability will go down.

in other words it will start looking like that god awfull boring sport,
american football,

Countries that depend on strategy and tactics like Germany will dominate
and countries that play football by the nose and crate beautifull spectiles like Brazil and the african teams will be the losers.



ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
what a nightmare.

The Red,the White,and really BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!

It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

Americans always hate what they are not good at.

"so what team does basra play for?"

She is linebacker for the Minnisotta Vikings.

[quote="MAD MAC"]It's a bullshit game. I don't understand its popularity.

First of all, because of the stupid off sides rules (I'll get to that) scoring is inredibly low. This means that game is often decided on a lucky break.

Todays game US Vs Ghana illustrates what makes this even worse. A referee makes a bad call, 11 meter is almost a guaranteed goal. Bad calls can influence a game in other sports, but bad 11 meters are often game deciding. It is extremely difficult to overcome a gift goal gifted by the ref.

Then on to the athletes themselves. What a bunch of pussies. Falling to get the cheap call all the time has been elevated to an art form. Rolling around as if badly injured, a minute latter runnning full sprint. I boxed for 10 years, had my nose broken three times. I NEVER quit in a fight just because my nose was broken. Kostya Tszu fought 7 rounds in a world championship fight with a broken hand. These **** do down over nothing.

The sport really needs an overhaul. Get a blue line, like Hockey has. Once you clear he blue line, off sides is over. Develop a penalty box so you can penalize a player with something less than shorthanding his team for the whole game. And penaliz acting - harshly. Fake falling, begging for a penalty- that shit needs to go. Last, get rid of the 11 meter penalt shot. It's all but a guaranteed goal. Move it to 15 meters or something reaonable like that.[/quote]


Firstoff all its Football not soccer. Second US lost fair and square and you need to except the fact that US can't dominant Football.

Football is the only game were size really does not matter. You could have player who is 6'8 like Koller and player who 5'0 or smaller playing together. What matters is your skills and fitness more than anything.

MM,

I won't try the hackneyed, "soccer is most popular sport in the world" line but I have you known: soccer is my 2nd religion. Got a little shrine where I placate the GOds of soccer...

[quote="Sir-Luggoyo"]Who hates Footbal here? Mad Mac and his sidekick, the hairy Soaniard. What does that tell us? It is not a game for sissy fruitcakes, it's a man's game, period.[/quote]

AMIIN!!! A sure cure for insomnia, but the celebratory parades here are GREAT!

Lace up the skates Bro, and see what a REEAL man's game is!

Not true. If you are short, you are at a decided disadvantage anytime there is an air ball that needs to be headed. A guy who is 5' 6" is very hard pressed to cocompete with a guy who is 6' 6" in trying to head the ball.
