Some good stuff from when we were gone:

quote:

Men's football is loved in Britain simply because the players are men, and men like watching other men play football, and what men like to do and like to watch is, de facto, culturally important.

You could argue that the Fifa World Cup is also ageist and disablist

quote:

Imagine if an N.F.L. coach never knew when to call for the last-second pass, or an N.B.A. star had to guess when to throw up his desperation half-court shot.

quote:

In high school and college soccer in the United States, a countdown clock — similar to ones used in other sports — is used, with specific rules as to when time should be stopped.

Other players like Heskey and Kevin Davies made careers as forwards doing that while not scoring a a lot of goals.

:lol:

Heskey has scored 110 premiership goals, Davies 88. Jozy has 2.

I’ve been watching the World Cup with some frustrated American social scientists. When they see an underdog team triumph with a miraculous rebound or an undeserved penalty kick, they don’t jump up and scream “Goooaaalll!” They just shake their heads and mutter, “Measurement error.”

I don't get how they get that anyway, 7 scores in football would be 49 points

And the seahawks beat the broncos 43-8in the super bowl (basically equal to 7-1) wow the seahawks kick rear end.

If some of Brazil's defenders were bought/coerced then it makes more sense. My guess was that this sort of result is about .02% with no riggedness and 2% or so in a rigged match, which makes a decent possibility that the match was rigged.

Great question. I bet every team has at least a few ones wot love a drink. For Swansea my guesses would be Shelvey, Sigurđsson and Fabiański.

My team would be Watford - few Brits and loads of muzzies.

American woman soccer player called Abby Wambach just finished her career. There should be a lot of juicy stuff out about that.
