And I'm not sure but did their fathers and grandfathers back in the day dive and grab their leg in agony whenever there's the slightest contact? Assuming they didn't and instead of cracking down on diving they keep with "tradition" and let it go. Does this make the game better? |
Argentina is going to crush Germany next game !!!!!!!! |
Brazil is overrated ...but a good soccer team is a good soccer team http://images.thetruthaboutcars.com/...flame_suit.jpg |

People always believe that technology will improve everything (and yes, its awesome having the things we have today), however, technology causes us to focus on other things and creates new problems (example, people used typewriters at work, computers were introduced, people started to do more than just work with computers). Or how about the Zamboni incident at the skating oval. Yes, its a "nice to have" but it causes other things than work to happen. I mean you wonder, why didn't anyone just check to make sure the Zamboni was working properly? Its such a simple task. Result from this added technology is that the referee becomes "lazier" and he starts to miss other calls. Next thing you know people will want cameras following every player to make sure nobody gets hit. After each hit, ref gets someone to review the tapes causing the game to become even longer. Shit, all of a sudden you realize we're watching FOOT-BALL, not "futbol". Quote:

Refs nowadays have too much power, whether it be football or hockey. Adding technology to the game to determine the validity of calls will not make refs lazier, but force them do their job better. They won't be able to get away with bs calls because they will be proven wrong by the video and be embarrassed on national television for being incompetent. Yea, human errors are also possible, but calls that are clearly wrong should be corrected. In fact, making bs calls should be considered lazy because they're calling EVERYTHING they see without thinking it through. /rant. |

if we introduced instant replays then we'd have to stop and watch every potential offside and hit and dive. And what then? What if it was called on side and it was off? Or a dive was an actual hit? Do we have more free kicks or do we put players into the penalty box for 2 minutes? |
a 90 minute match, with about 5 min stoppage time would become a 150 minute match if they stopped each time they had to review something |
Maybe they could just review goals while the game is playing and adjust the score as need be. But even then it would be tricky if a goal happened super late in the game. I'm sure that is why they don't review goals - they don't have much of a system in place without altering the game. Another idea would be to stop the reviewing time so no injury time is needed. Or, they can skip the whole video replay thing and put an official behind each goal line. Posted via RS Mobile |
SOLUTION: Only Review: -Goals -Penalties in the 18 yard box |

Nothing feels worse than losing because of bad call. Not losing 10-1, not losing 2-1 ion a tight game. |
Lets lift the mood in this thread.... |
I'm in favor of adding review system, but some limitation has to be planted to avoid abuse. One thing I can think of is, they get 3 subs in the game, if they want to challenge any of the referee's decision, they lose 1 sub opportunity every time, if no more subs opportunity is available, certain advantage must be given to the other team. Maybe limit 1 player certain amount of time from playing in the game. Last but not least, the referee still obtain full right to make the final decision based on his interpretation. This way, everything stays pretty much the same and team will not challenge unless it's absolutely necessary |
add a goal judge... a person who stands behind or beside the net at each end /rant over |
A nice write up in the Sun today of one my close friends. I actually got another autograph Cristiano Ronaldo jersey in the mail 2 days ago from him, I've asked him for game worn shoes or a game worn jersey but doubt I'll get that. Quote:

hmm.. for some reason... I seem to get just as much when I watch the highlights. |
^^^ lmao |
^ Well only because: there's so few scoring chances, a 1 minute highlight is plenty of time to capture it all. there's no drama. Players diving and getting hurt is normal. There's no fighting of course, this is a pretty discipline sport. So there isn't really any "extra stuff" worth watching that happened in the game that might get left out in a highlight. I just find watching 90+ minutes just to pick out 10 scoring chances is a bit tough to remain focused throughout the entire game. Not really sitting on the edge of my seat. How do the rest of you guys do it? The thing is, I love playing soccer though, probably my favourite sport. |
damn Japan had such a beautiful chance there in the extra time i dont think the japanese keeper is as good as the paraguayan but japanese karate kickers could hopefully counteract that :D edit: oh and i h8 penalty shoot-outs -_- |
Quote:
penalty shootouts is like 10 scoring chances in a span of 2 mins... mind blasting. FUCK Japan just lost. Can't believe that idiot hit the crossbar... gotta keep the shots low on shootouts... The last Paraguay shooter practically walked up to the ball before taking the shot. |
dam that was shitty about japan |
omg -_- kiwoma sp? looks like he was gonna kill himself @ the end there he was balling his eyes out Quote:
doesnt matter this game though i suppose cuz neither japan nor paraguay are going to beat the winners in the next game |
Quote:
lol, it is unfair... but come on, I cheer for Japan... and they had no hope of winning otherwise. |
