I'm not an expert, but I think Stoke play a "park the bus and kick it up for the big lad up front" style of football, rain makes it difficult to play for teams that play pass-and-move or at least try to keep the ball on the ground. The small size of Stoke's pitch didn't help to the pass-and-move thing either.

Therefore, playing at Stoke is difficult when it rains.

This expression is dated because pitch size has been regulated by the FA so all fields are the same size, also rain doesn't ruin pitches like it used to and finally Charlie Adam and Owen turned Stoke into Stokelona.

^^^^B-Rock's just helping a fellow African

I'm just saying small fields are bad for teams who play passing football or at least play with the traditional wingers who run along the line and cross it (most teams from the time of that expression). On a narrow field it's easier to mark the wingers, and it's easier to kick it to the big lad on a shorter field.

Also they say that the reason the national team was so good was that they were able to keep the players in Columbia, but I don't get it, England keeps it's players in country and they're not that good either, so were all the players actually on the same team or something?

Thanks guys.

Most people in South America prefer that national team players play on their home league instead of warming bench in Europe.

Not just because the actually playing part, but because european-based players are seen as "mercenaries" of sorts, who only play for money and tend to not make an effort when representing the country. This is bullshit, of course, because any player good enough to be called to his national team is at least richer than most people in his country. They might pull a shift because they are living in their country and feel more pressured to perform well and because if they perform well they might get transfered to Europe and get more money.

FIFA 98: Road to World Cup was the best ever. It had diving, you had a "get a red card" button and you could play at the indoor stadium which was awesome.

If you played with a keyboard, you could dive pressing E twice and pressing Q would get you a red card iirc.

At least someone in his family had a passport. The craziest call up I've ever heard of is Luis de Agustini's call up for the Libyan national team. An agent phoned him and said he needed a keeper to play for Libya and asked if he wanted to do it. Luis googled Libya to see where the hell it was and then accepted and played for them for three years.

The first game I played on a full-size pitch we lost 18-0. We kinda laughed it off after the 7th goal.

That's what you get when you play an U-15 tournament and half your team shows up drunk on a saturday morning.
