webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Johnny Baby rocking the suit with white trainers, gently caress it looks awful

I would agree with you except literally every team does this

England did it from about 75 minutes in the semi final

For reals. I wanted England to win this one but no complaints about anything Spain did because it�d would be hypocritical as gently caress.

The only valid grievance from that game is that the teenager (sorry, forget her name) should have gotten a second yellow for kicking the ball away, that was bobbins.

paddyboat: Feb 20, 2013; Maxi, Maxi Rodriguez
Run down the wing for me

Let me share some unique Ethpanya soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring.

Or you can just say lol Ethpanya matches are boring and hate them.

�The record for the longest stoppage time in football was made during a Carabao Cup match between Burton Albion and Bournemouth in 2019. A total of 28 minutes were added as stoppage time after the floodlights stopped working three times during the match.�

I'd say Brazil is the favorite for 2027, if only because being held between a men's WC and the Olympics in the States would be stupid (for FIFA in terms of getting money).

Shiiiit,, Spain was downright active at the end compared to when USA played Brazil and Marta was faking injuries every thirty seconds to the point where she called for a stretcher and then hopped off it once the game resumed. Don�t know what ya�ll are complaining about.

Yeah, like that one attack with a player breaking forward who couldn't quite get past the defender but kept sprinting forward instead of holding up, I was a bit surprised by that.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that pretty much every team sport with a game clock has some sort of time wasting strat, you don't get points for style (in fact that's exactly what we've been criticizing Spain's men's team for!)
