Why are you being a dick I wasn't bashing you for anything. I clearly dont have the soccer experience or knowledge that you have. Do you make fun of a toddler for not knowing how to speak? It's not like I came in here saying I was all knowing and watched FIFA all the time, I don't, which is quite obvious. Are you a woman?
-
Yes for 25 years and also in Mexico. 2 yellows = 1 red, red card and your kicked out the rest of this game and the next game and your team plays down a man for the rest of the current game. This rule is universal and has been around forever.
-
All three are from the same author writing about what he would like to change, nothing to do with FIFA or any potential changes. All three sites are crap, and his idea is horrible!
-
What exactly are those three links supposed to say?
-
Now if a goalie takes down the man its not an automatic red, usually a yellow though not always the case. I wouldn't be surprised to see an adjustment made to this rule at some point. For me a yellow and an automatic PK is enough.

i hate when the ref goes to a straight red for a borderline call inside the box (see: USA-Brazil women's game). PK's have an 85% rate of effectiveness, so you're already punishing the offending team by giving the attacking team a 5 in 6 chance of scoring. like the scoring chance that was supposedly prevented by the foul yesterday - was marta 85% likely to score there? probably not. so not only does her team get, in my opinion, a better chance at scoring, but then they've got an extra player the remainder of the game, and the offending player has to sit out a subsequent game. i understand it if there's a blatant intentional handball to stop a sure goal or a player just grabs someone and hauls them down. but i've seen way too many players get thrown out for borderline calls or sloppy challenges... it just seems like triple punishment when the awarding of a PK is more than enough. In the USA-Brazil game thats actually the way the rule is written. If you beat the last defender and are brought down taking away a goal scoring opportunity it is supposed to be a straight red. I do agree with you there given the penalty kick but there are cases where he is taken down outside the box to where the rule is effective and the reason for it.

Fielder should never be allowed to pick again.

If Argentina doesn't beat Costa Rica, expect riots after the game.

There is nothing wrong the rule. From the perspective of someone who isn't a soccer fan and has only really watched the most recent men's and women's World Cups: It seems like an overly harsh rule to have a team play one person down when the calls can be so subjective as they pull red cards for. With the repercussions so severe (which is fine in and of itself), it seems like they should eliminate the subjectivity from it. For instance, pull a red card only on the most obviously blatant stuff and not for highly questionable calls like the one in the US/Brazil game. The Zidane headbutt, for example. That may be a flawed view, but it's what I've kind of gleaned from very little soccer experience. Straight reds are pretty much only for blatant stuff and you really don't see that many, im guessing between 5-10% of all cards issued are straight reds. Two yellow cards in the same game are much more common. At the same token, you are aware of the first yellow and should know to adjust your game and play a little bit more cautiously. Similar to playing with 5 fouls. Every player knows what they have to do to earn a straight red and with a yellow fair warning has been issued. Also refs are a little more forgiving in issuing a 2nd yellow.

even in that case he should know about red cards. Hey jerks! I know what the heck a redcard is but they made it sound like they were playing with one less player on the field. I mean sure they had a player who was unable to come back into the game but that wasn't what they made it sound like. Also I only watched the last 30 minutes so I didn't see the redcard which would have made more sense. I don't think being a player down would really be that big of a deal though, a well trained player should be able to play most the game without resting, its not like you are sprinting constantly, half the time you sit and wait for the ball to get near you. Was it a good player who was kicked out or a sub? WTF! Seriously how old are you? Is this RedFlash? It wasn't that they made it sound like they were playing with 1 less player, its that they actually were playing with 1 less player. The players had no problem playing the whole game down a man, but being down a goal and having to reorganize the defense and still push forward down a man against any quality team is not a simple task.

Solo never once came off the line. The Brazilian every single kick. yeah no kidding. she was a solid yard out from the line on the last kick. i wonder if any of those would've been called if they'd been saved. hope solo is indeed hot. thankfully brianna scurry wasn't around to be subbed in for her before the brazil match. http://media2.newsobserver.com/smedia/2011/07/10/19/13/IjA8c.Em.156.jpg The very first kick was called after she saved it. I don't know if they would have called it a second time or not but it never stopped her from coming in early.
-
Of all people too ;-). Its like the Cubs getting that from Doug Davis. I've still got two starts from Verlander to help out. GO NC! Happy to oblige. :D Go Adam!!!
-
Perfect free kick by Montero. I love that Seattle has a good base at the game too.
-
Are you gay? That's the only reason it would be strange. She's really hot. Portland v Seattle in 30 minutes on ESPN. it's gonna be epic. This crowd is unbelievable.

Likewise, the tying goal was the most excited I have ever been watching a women's sport.

Brazil deserves absolutely nothing from this game. I want to see Solo rip her jersey off.

flashbacks to last year.

redcard

Amazing start by the women. Wish I could say that about the Mens team every now and then.
-
I won't watch that, and the thought of it alone makes me depressed.
-
Feel horrible for Hamilton, concerned as to how this is going to affect him too given his past.

Ugh, Mexico beat Germany 3-2 in the U17 semi's. Face Uruguay in the Finals. Agreed on Reyna.
