I think the first 90 minutes of that game was the perfect example of how goalless games can be incredibly entertaining. I loved that.

I thought that too. My wife was even enjoying watching, she really got a kick out of the Mexican color guy repeating Shveinshteiger like something out of Young Frankenstein. It was a great match, except I thought the ref was against Alg, I really did.

Today's France-Nigeria match brought to you by Canadian soccer icon, assistant referee Joe Fletcher

quote:


Given the dodgy nature of the soccer world, it must be nice for people on both teams to know that a straight shooter such as Joe, an accredited accountant from one of the least corrupt nations in the world, is patrolling the sidelines.


Uhuh.

quote:


Joe provides services to local Canadian Tire Dealers. He also “has extensive knowledge of Canadian Tire Store operations.”


Oh yeah?

quote:


Like most Canadians, Joe is not a flashy guy. No matter how many great calls he makes at the World Cup, you will never see him remove his shirt, or dance.

And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss goes 8-8

I hope Jozy plays because even though he isn't very good his presence allows Dempsey to play in a role better suited to him and that means a lot I think and also Jozy isn't that bad at holding up play and winning free kicks so that's not nothing I guess.

I let out a good laugh here.

quote:

Joe Fletcher isn’t competing in the World Cup. He’s a linesman. And that carries important responsibilities. In soccer, a linesman decides when a ball is out of bounds, and determines whether the exit path of the ball warrants a throw-in or a more high-stakes corner kick.

Is this a Canadian troll article? Jesus this is brilliant.

quote:

More contentiously, a linesman also has to determine when an offensive player is offside. This is not like hockey, where any minimum wage rent-a-ref can just keep his eye on the blue line and blow or not blow his whistle accordingly: In soccer, a player is deemed offside if he is standing in the opponent’s side of the field, advanced further than both the ball and the last defending non-goalie player, when the ball is kicked to him.

The rule is manifestly un-Canadian and frankly wrong. It sounds like something made up on a playground to prevent cherry-picking. Nevertheless it is all too real, and it is hard to adjudicate. Offside calls are some of the trickiest and most controversial in the game. Indeed, the 2014 World Cup finals already have witnessed several vigorously disputed offside calls that have affected game scores. As in many areas of soccer, allegations of bias and even match-fixing fly thick and fast.

You know how Müller always looks like he's tripping over his gangly-rear end appendages and then he scores all the goals? Sometimes he doesn't just look like that, and also scores none of the goals

It was done on purpose to make the Algerian defense relax for a moment, thus leaving an opening for Mueller to squeak through. The through ball wasn't good, so the opportunity got wasted.

But for those who know he’s there, his presence on the Wold Cup[sic] sidelines provides a potent symbol of Canada’s defining qualities: honesty, incorruptibility, a penchant for following rules, and a healthy respect for life’s “boundaries.” Even when Canadians cannot usefully compete in a given sport — or, as global citizens, choose en masse to compete for other nations — out reputation as honest brokers in world affairs makes us the perfect sporting adjudicators.

In these very Canadian ways, we are all Joe Fletcher. When he raises his offside flag, he raises a nation as well.
