[kujay]

So these commenters just had a short conversation on the proper way to dive. Jesus. I love the World Cup in spite of it being soccer at this point.

I don't get it. Why are they locking the players inside of places? That seems irresponsible.

It's based on a movie about a superhero called the Watch Man, who locks himself inside prisons to watch criminals he catches, unlike that idiot Batman who keeps letting them break out again.

I don't know. I don't actually watch movies because it's unfrugal. I read about them on themoviespoiler.com

Well ok...different is one thing...but if it happens early, it completely ruins the game. One team has no chance of winning...they turtle up and try not to lose.

 

There have been instances of teams a man down winning games (And even coming from behind to win after they went down a man), but generally, that's the point. Don't get a red card, especially early. This is not a hard thing to do if you aren't a complete fool.

 

Right, but it ruins the whole game. I mean, can you imagine watching the Bulls in the 90's and after Rodman did something stupid that got him kicked out, the bulls had to play 4 on 5 the rest of the game?

 

I know, the game isn't equivalent like that...but it just ruins the product. One guy out of 11 does something stupid, and the team is essentially doomed to lose (I understand there's exceptions.)

 

Hockey plays a man short, but it's not for the whole game. If you want to punish the team for individual's misconduct, it's a better system, IMO. It still keeps the game interesting for the fans.

What keeps the game interesting for the fans is players not being stupid and getting red cards. You're complaining about the symptom instead of the source of the problem. Where in hockey everyone knows they can take a run at anyone, anytime and not hurt the team, so they can send a 4th line goon to take out the opponent's best player for the game, and the worst that happens is his team plays a man down for 4-5 minutes and he gets suspended for 3 games he wouldn't play in anyway. In soccer, players know that if they even try to pull anything close to that, it ends their team's chances at the game.

 

i think that there should be power plays in soccer. only, the penalty box would just be an iron shackle, and you'd be forced to watch footage of fendi onabun trying to catch footballs for like 5 minutes.

YEAH BOYEE!!!

[treebird]

that was truly pitiful

[Butterscup1679666578]

not an ideal start to the gam

[treebird]

it is a lot easier to watch the us let the other team hold the ball 90% of the time when we aren't already losing

[Derwood]

gud gam Porchugil

i'm new to soccer but i've noticed that players sure love to lay on the ground a lot

[Gilby]

That ball was out of bounds or whatever you call it. Good thing it didn't cost us.

This is where the US World Cup dream ends, not with a bang but a whimper

Actually, that's the one thing that can't happen today.

Soccer timekeeping is dumb.
