Friggin’ Refs. Friggin’ mistakes. Get some instant replay, already! Not for everything – but GOALS are pretty important detail to keep accurate. —Tired of yakking at the screen

Ball crossing goaline = goal

I’ll give you that it ‘might’ have made a difference…
but likely not.
They’re keeping the game ‘pure’ by basking in that good ol’ human error factor…
as soon as you get computers in there analyzing, you’re one step closer to robot football.
Bring on the Fédération Internationale de Football Association Pour Robots
Yawn.
yea one thing though ATT: footballers of the world; if, you EVER want North Americans to give a shit about the game stop writhing in pain everytime you get a boo-boo and than pop up like a minute later; that doesn’t wash with hockey/football types
fuck the refs, fuck the goals, go do something useful, like jerk off or anything else.
I KNOW!
dizzy, was that forme, i’m single too, boring fucking life, aint it sometimes.
Oh come on, it’s not thattt boring.
yeah, it is, that’s why i live under the stairs at the coast. in my little rubber room.
I tried watching the World Cup the other day. Seriously, the ball was passed back and forth between two or three players for three minutes just in front of the center line. Just like that episode of the Simpsons. Most popular game in the world? Good god, why?
^ a rubber room … interesting … go on.
Not everyone has a pathetic attention span like North Americans. We don’t need a goal scored every 2 minutes. I haven’t seen a team in this world cup just passing between 3 people in the middle. Bullshit. They will try to move it forward when they have a chance. Stop lying.
I don’t need a goal scored every 2 minutes but some action and actual goal scoring chances would be nice.
LOL accusing me of lying? Really? I’m not lying jackass. Hell, I’d find it on you tube if I knew what to look for. Can’t remember the teams, might have been Spain. They were trying to run out the clock. I was surprised the losing team wasn’t more aggressively trying to tie it up. It looked so much like that Simpsons soccer episode I couldn’t help but laugh. I didn’t think that actually happened lol.
The announcer said something along the lines of “And mercifully, this game is finally done” when the final whistle blew.
Portugal is a very defensive team. I don’t care for them. I know my Dutch involve virtually every player on the field in the span of 5 minutes and pass the ball all over the place. I’ve seen plenty of close chances in the games I’ve watched. You have to take into account different countries have different styles and strategies. The Italians play defensively and counter attack, with a bit of fruity play-acting thrown into every game for good measure.
Well FIFA will just cancel soccer worldwide just because a few Halifax bitchers don’t like the fact that it’s the most played sport in the world.
Hockey; a bunch of overpaid meatheads on ice, Football (see the John Cleese skit on that farce) a bunch of meatheads in padding/armour with the IQ of a Gatorade bucket, Baseball, can anyone spell steroids during the World Series, didn’t know the World consisted of about 3 countries.
