Maybe Portugal should've hired one of these retarded stat guys 2 years ago, instead of letting Bruno Alves take the deciding penalty. Also the best penalty shootout ever is the Portugal vs England from 2004. Beckham missed it, Ricardo defends without gloves on and then takes the final shot. Greatest match ever.

My favorite penalty is the one where the goalkeeper got red carded and so the center fullback had to put on the jersey and try to defend the penalty.

the posted:central defender? I guess that works, but in a formation with 4 at the back, the two center backs are the "central defenders" and the fullbacks are the dudes to their left and right.

if soccer was as big here in the states... as it is around the world.... we would be one of the top dawgs... our country breeds athletes.. you can deny it all you want but take Germany for example... they have three guys over 6'3" and they're vicious so this whole derp it'd be herrrd to dribble business is idiotic... seriously... if you think because a guy is tall he can't dribble a ball we have nothing to talk about because you're dumb.. sorry. if a super athlete like julio jones... who was a stud in almost every sport in HS....was trained to play soccer and stuck with it... he would be an ace but the fact remains, here in the states there's no money in professional sports. till that day it's only a theory or speculation. but i have no doubt in my mind that if we had a history of soccer/football like the rest of the world it'd be no question we would mess everyone up.

What's up with the super lax enforcement of the out of bounds line? In American sports, we become old men as officials spend what feels like hours looking at the slow-mo replay to determine if a ball/player went out of bounds. I just saw a play where a bouncing cross went over the head of it's intended target and the defender, but the defender picked it out of the air with his hands for the throw-in before it actually hit the ground. Is this just a gentlemens agreement to speed up the game? WerthersWay fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jun 28, 2014 |

How come Chicharito comes off the bench for Mexico when he's good enough to play for Man U? Is the experience of the guys who start at his position that much more important than his raw talent and scoring ability?

So when the ball is over the line, players can't reach over to kick it back in play a la Dennis Rodman flying into the stands? The play in question was in today's Brazil Chile game. The ball wasn't egregiously over the line. It was a slow, high bounce and both players were in position to gain control of it, but the Brazilian simply grabbed it out the air and proceeded with the throw in as if it touched the ground out of bounds.
