When Rivaldo did his act in 2002 he was suspended for 2 games, I hope we'll see similar action against the players involved this time.

That's true about the third world refs every world cup, and some of them have performed really well.

Another way to make soccer watchable:

Change that stupid ****ing retarded offsides rule. Make the penalty box the "blue line", like hockey, and be done with it.

Change that stupid ****ing retarded offsides rule. Make the penalty box the "blue line", like hockey, and be done with it.

But that puts the onus solely on the attacker to avoid being offside, and the defence can't do anything about it. The 'offside trap' can be used by a supremely well-trained defence to catch the attacking team out and to win the ball back legitimately. For more details, ask C0ckney. But at the same time, if one of the defenders is too slow or too thickheaded to move up with his/her teammates, then the attackers will have a great chance to score against usually only the keeper or one defender and the keeper. It's a massive risk to play it, and when performed successfully it can negate a more potent attacking force. But when it goes wrong, it's hilarious, and justice is usually done.

To be honest, the offside rule is the same as the blue line, but the line moves between the halfway line (behind which it is impossible to be offside) and the last defender, wherever s/he may be on the pitch. That's why the linesmen have to have certain fitness levels, because they and the ref have to constantly move with play and anticipate what will (might?) happen. So it's an element of the game always in the back of the minds of both teams - attackers need to time their runs to get behind the defence, and the defenders need to decide whether to move up and catch the attackers offside, or follow the runner because they know one of their teammates will play them onside. An extra tactical dimension without which the game would end up with a goalhanger recruited from basketball/Spurs being marked by two defenders at the edge of the box and having no impact on the game unless the ball was near them, having been hoofed up at the earliest opportunity. It would take away the value of being able to pass or dribble through the midfield, and would reduce footballers to one of three kinds: keepers, enormous attackers, and equally enormous defenders who were able to hoof the ball straight at their attacking teammates. Six a side, maybe?

Change that stupid ****ing retarded offsides rule. Make the penalty box the "blue line", like hockey, and be done with it. The 'offsides trap' is what makes the 5-3-2 viable. You want to see attacking soccer, why are you taking away one of the tools that make attacking formations better?

Make each goal worth 6 points with a penalty kick that would be worth 1... all other penalty kicks will be worth 3.

The offside rule was created to confuse Americans. It's working fine.

My enjoyment of that game was spoiled after 5-0 when it became clear that they're all going to be executed.

Change the ****ing offsides rule!

0-0 games are not entertaining, unless people are getting knocked the **** out.

Make it a female-only sport and have them play nude?

Swimming is my favourite spectator sport. Diving is a close second.

God bless HD.

We already do? What do you think this World Cup thing is all about?

I'm surprised lingerie league football isn't bigger in the US.

Have you heard of strip clubs? They will blow your mind man.
