I saw some football on Sunday.
Is it just me or do they all just spend their time trying to foul each other and then throwing their hands up in the air. It's like a reverse Michael Flatley dance.
They really need to introduce some new rules into the game.
1) Video replay. Invaluable in Rugby and would really solve a lot of this fucking diving.
2) If someone dives they should be banned for 5 matches with no pay. If they do it again, 10 matches with no pay. That should stop that fucking nonsense.
3) No blood, no foul. That would stop all that rolling about pretending to be in agony and then instantly feeling fine as soon as the ball is in their favour. Fucking overpaid cunts.

It's just ridiculous that we are talking about who faked the best or who faked better or not... this is not how football should be played.
This is one of the reasons why I stopped playing football and why I don't follow the national leagues anymore.
Like giginger says, I'm all for using camera footage as well. Then we will see fair football again.

btw, if you guys are talking about whether figo got an elbow kick in his head or not, i say he got it. and he got it really hard. i don't think it was intentional though.

good work?
this is when i draw the line between you being provocative and you being outright silly.... the swiss weren't very inventive but conceded no goals... you seem to be all about great play and not result and in the end i'm starting to think you simply enjoy good visual play but don't know much about the rest at all..
as for Deco the guy is brilliant, and i can tell you the england people are very lucky, annd they know it.
anyway buzz me on slsk once in a while you muffler!!

i haven't seen the match between ukraine and switzerland..well only a little and the penalties. i simply said good work ukraine because lots of people thought they're complete outsiders after they lost that opening matcg against spain.
yeah nacmat, that was a classy penalty.

Tell me, as a Real Madrid fan, have you fully accepted a slithering turncoat such as Figo as a galactico or do you silently hold him in contempt?

that penalty should have been a yellow card for simulation. a tragic way to go. italy defended really well as australia dominated the second half and italy did make lots of opportunities early, so i don't have too many complaints. it just should've gone to extra time.
i know if australia won like that, i wouldn't be happy.

i'll be honest, before australia were in world cup ive taken little to no interest in actually watching football (soccer:) ) seriously. Except from what I've seen in Australia's matches, theres something really fucked up going on with the refereeing.
Whos idea is it to have the decisions of the game up to one guy running around whos quite able to not see whats going on and make mistakes, when theres cameras and replays going on all around him : (

i didn't like italy (as always in the last period) anyway i'm happy for the final result.
i think red card of materazzi was a big mistake, while the penaly was doubtful.
now we are pretty lucky 'cos we will play vs ucraine anyway it will be not an easy match also because shevchenko will be ready to kick our ass out of this world cup.

If Australia couldn't win against 10 men then we shouldn't have gone through.
Well done though, second round in the World Cup is a great effort..........

i think playing against 10 men isn't as easy as it seems. italy couldn't score against usa when they were down to 9 men for an entire half.
yeah, spain is my tip 2-0 or 3-1 perhaps.
