Enjoy the Italian soccer then! :-D We have players that fall to the ground screaming in pain just if you look at them funny. Soccer in Italy is more similar to a theather-play, nowadays. :-D

Very few of the NFL players wear ties on the field. Maybe some punters.

I'd rather an exciting scoreless draw than a 9-0 mismatch. But I agree that Uruguay - France might not have been the best showpiece for soccer, because France was too dominant and still inefficient. Watch USA - England tomorrow, it will be different, I promise.

Playing for draws is not really normal, but in the final minutes it might be tactically correct where losing a point isn't worth risking. In the world cup teams are guaranteed only 3 group matches so losing any points can be devastating. In the knockout round things are different.

Players tend to fall down because their legs tend to get knocked out from beneath them at high speeds. It's an easier thing to 'get' if you've played. Challenges in soccer are usually aimed low, at the feet and legs, which tends to throw you off balance however light. Something to keep in mind before yelling "dive" at any opportunity.

Sorry, no, but after watching that video Zidane was still more awesome. You could barely even see what that goalie was doing, while Zidane's video is gorgeously clear.

I'm considering painting a patch of paint onto my wall and watching it dry for two hours. It is more exciting from my perspective

SK-GRE is rather boring as well. SK does kinda well, but lacks the final determination, Greece otoh is a big disappointment. They probably think of their debt all the time or something.

Skorea plays positive and honest football and easily deserved it. Nobody should mourn Greece's decline considering what they put everbody through in 2004.

The one thing I'd change about soccer, is the offside call. Make it like hockey's blue line, where players can't cross the top of the penalty box until after the ball does.

It seems wrong to penalize the offense because the defense isn't paying attention.

ACK!
This. All of this.

The offsides rule in soccer is absolutely, positively, 100% pure retarded.

My thoughts exactly but then again I'm an uncultured north american.

What's your excuse?
Have you seen England play?

Is there anything at all inaccurate with what I said? Were my observations just an anomaly because I watched a particularly bad game?

Speer, I didn't have you so much in mind. France v Uruguay was a crap game.

So apparently world-class soccer goalkeepers can't even stop easy shots? Soccer...
