How does it say NO GOAL first and then GOAL? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND???

The no goal was from the initial shot and the goal was from ther keeper's fumble. If they hadn't shown the original shot not crossing the line a whole load of octogenarians with dementia wouldn't be losing their minds right now.

Showing No Goal first was really loving dumb though, you gotta plan for this to reach even the stupidest people you can find (managers of losing teams).

As Ramos said, American athletes are typically honest on the field, no doubt influenced by years of being told to be strong, battle through contact and finish the play. The tendency of American soccer players to eschew diving, Martino said, is directly related to the fact that diving is one of the things that soccer critics in the United States rail against so passionately.

TheBigAristotle posted:It's been done in tennis for years, I don't see how anyone could contest it at this point Actual answer - the system used in tennis (and cricket) doesn't work well if there's a large change of direction at the point it's supposed to be measuring unless the ball continues in that direction for a fair distance, which is fine in tennis and cricket where the changes in direction are pretty small and the ball continues unmolested for several yards afterwards. An awful lot of goal-line decisions are ricochets off the crossbar where neither of those things apply, and also there are a lot more non-ball moving objects (players) in the FOV of the cameras, which confuses things even further. I think they've improved it quite a bit but the original Hawkeye-based system they trialled was found to have a margin of error of over half the ball's diameter in those sort of conditions, which is why the first goal-line technology trials were humans looking at multiple post-mounted cameras.

Lamont Cranston posted:May be somewhat interesting; the FIFA test manual for GLT. I really only skimmed it but it seems the requirement in general is ±1.5cm That's the most laughably bad testing regime I've ever seen - it seems deliberately set up to make the goal line technology's job as easy as possible (low-speed shots all in a straight line into a stationary target). I mean I'd accept that if it were a post-install test to ensure a system was set up right, but this looks like it's the entirety of the tests a system needs to do to be accepted by FIFA. In particular there seems to be not even an attempt to test the hardest type to call, the ricochet off the bar and then out, and that's the one with a half-a-ball margin of error on Hawkeye. You'd kinda hope they'd at least try to test that before accepting the system, because if it gets a call provably wrong in a big game there's going to be a shitstorm of truly epic proportions.

What Would The U.S. World Cup Team Look Like If It Was All NFL Players? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/what-would-the-u-s--world-cup-roster-look-like-if-it-was-all-nfl-players--135637543.html

Monday Bandele posted:What Would The U.S. World Cup Team Look Like If It Was All NFL Players? When they write these articles, why are American writers obsessed with how large their players are? quote:The middle of the defense in front of Revis will be a 6-foot-5, 289-pounder with a 37-inch vertical in Watt, and a 6-6, 266-pounder with a 37.5-inch vertical in Clowney. Good luck getting around, through or over those two. How many central defenders do you see in world football that weigh almost 300 pounds? Literally none. That may make them better at leaning on opposing players during a game of American football, but it would make them absolutely poo poo at actual football. It's like they're just so proud of their obese nation that they think being heavier gives them magic sports powers.

I like how he's saying he'd rather be involved in the game as if there weren't lots of speciality players in American sports or plays that involve only a couple in the main.

Lazlow posted:serious/effortpost: because the sport was created there and therefore most English believe they're the best. However, this aptly titled book gives a good explanation as to why they're not. Short version: It's a small country so its talent pool is smaller, and it's located between the edge of the continent and an ocean, and so doesn't have as much of a "melting pot" effect as countries in the middle of Europe. Good read.
