What's new

FIFA World Cup 2018

I feel like there are quite a few things that could be done to increase the scoring but really soccer is the most popular sport in he world and if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it for us dumb Americans imo.

There is nothing in this world that ***** me more than rule changes in sports especially pointless and stupid ones. The Australian Rules Football League has a standing rules committee they have gradually made the sport I grew up watching and loving unwatchable, meaningless and ****.

One of the reasons i love football is the game is more or less unchanged, (can argue that tackles aren't what they used to be) but essentially the game is the same.

And a close 0-0 game could be really exciting, even more than a 4-0 where one team is vastly superior to the other. That's the beauty of football: the uniqueness of a goal/the scarcity of them. A goal could be like a buzzer-beater, end it all. And an upset is more likely, just like Mexico vs Germany now (I hope I don't jinx them)

Also, something I feel football is vastly superior to basketball is the simplicity of rules and the lack of reviews by referees. No ads, dumb replays, timeouts. The game is more fluid and easier to understand.

One of my wife's best friends is this dude niece:



He could have easily just caught that though. Was he just showboating for the hell of it cause the game was over or something?
Seems much smart to just catch the ball and control where it goes.

Just showboating. It was a friendly game and he was close to retirement after a legendary career.
