Not technically a foul but Frank Rijkaard spitting at Rudi Völler's mullet after being sent off is probably up there.

Earthy Ape Unit posted:C) This isn't perfect (lmao portugal), and it's Europe focused, but here. http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/ That's the rankings UEFA uses to determine how many teams get to go from each league to the champions/europa leage tourney spots. MLS is probably 7-11 or so, but I think a team like FC Sounders Seattle in their current state could probably hang around in the middle of 4-6. Yeah I went there Gigi Galli. lol yeah MLS is on the same level as the Eredivisie and Seattle Sounders would be midtable in Serie A. Good one.

Not one single foul but I saw a doc on the 1962 World Cup the other day and when it comes to fouls Italy-Chile from that tournament is up there, it isn't called the Battle of Santiago for nothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5jVMSlpZhg (also one of the best introductions to a match I've ever seen) and then there's that games spiritual successor Portugal-Netherlands from 2006: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wALiyDM_Nk

That was from a time in football which, while much cleaner than the two decades prior to 82, involved players kicking lumps out of each other reasonably regularly. You had to punch or elbow someone to get sent off, usually. So if a player went into an unfair challenge and hurt one of their team, nobody surrounded him or the ref, they just waited til the next time that player had the ball and kicked him up in the air. edit: lol see that video posted above for evidence of this exact thing stickyfngrdboy fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Jul 4, 2014 |

It's all kids and wastemen. And the top Italian sides would destroy the sounders but they could handle the dregs of Serie B temporarily up. MLS is bad but so is a lot of lower level European soccer. The talent curve goes exponential IMHO.

I remember someone doing a poll of people that the French public historically hate a few years back, Schumacher was first above Hitler. So I'm pretty sure it's fair to say that that is indeed the most despised foul of all time. It's deliberate, malicious, and seriously bloody dangerous.

Another very violent match was Brazil vs. Hungary in 1954, also named Battle of Berne and notorious because both teams were very attack-minded and everyone expected a beautiful game; Wikipedia has a nice article on it. Both squads kept fighting on the dressing rooms after the game ended.

There's a decent documentary on QPR's new owners called The Four Year Plan which should be available from your favourite questionably reputable internet site. There's also Kill the Referee available here in terrible quality which follows referees at the 2008 Euros.

My favourite football film is a 21st Century Portrait. Here's a taste of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNPDlzF4Wg I like how it's 99% extreme concentration with 1% of it being bursts of energy and skill.

Echoing this, the owner orders his henchman onto the pitch to force the manager to make subs, fires loads of managers, demands an angry fan apologize to him, and wears fancy rich person casual clothes. I don't know anything about QPR, but it was gripping.

FIFA referees are required to pass a basic competency test in English, so that's a common one, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rizzoli knew a few other languages

The tournament squad is 23 players (20 outfield plus 3 goalkeepers), so there should be enough depth. I could foresee FIFA making an exception in the very unlikely case of all three goalkeepers getting injured, however. North Korea tried to bring an extra outfield player in 2010 by registering him as their third goalkeeper. FIFA told them if he played it had to be in goal.

Now that my team is out, I am cheering for whichever team is behind to score so that there will a tie with exciting tiebreakers. I see no fault in this system. Can somebody explain to me in what circumstances it is okay to grab another player from behind? I would have thought that was always a foul, but apparently not. Also, it would be lovely if there were a way for refs to penalize blatant drama-dives.

This is always a foul. Take note that the referee often doesn't call a foul when both players are grabbing each other at the same time in a similar manner/with similar force, but what you said sounds nothing like this, so most likely he hosed up (or applied the advantage rule).

Also ask yourself if the grab had any effect on how things were playing out. If it didn't really interfere with play it was probably trifling and so ignored. If it did effect play then yeah, probably a miss like Vis said.
