Members ambientnoize Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 I think it would have made the champions league final slightly more competitive, that ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fetch Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hahahah @ last night's result and the consequent "exit stage left" from pundits and people alike {censored}ing--"LOL". I agree, and I think a lot of people would like to see that. It wouldn't work. The loop-hole it would create (as in players getting yellow cards intentionally) would be abused by too many players and they'll start doing the team-fouls where they take turns to continually bring down the same player from the opposing team. And don't say that won't happen you as a United fan should know that loop-holes are there to be taken advantage of... that Blackburn game either last year or the year before was one of the hardest sporting events I had to endure watching (when the scores were a draw and neither team kicked the ball because a draw was adequate for them both). How on earth that was allowed I still don't understand but when a loop-hole is available teams can and do take advantage. Same kinda feeling re: the City game at the end of the year... like it or not... QPR knew a minute or so before both goals went in that they were safe. Take what you will from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members juri Posted June 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I hope they at least win. Can the Germans pull through and score at least 2 times? I just hope the Portugese don't make it. Anybody remember that ugly match between the Dutch and the Portugese in 2006, The Battle of Nuremberg with 16 bookings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Nuremberg_(association_football) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thom Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Looks like The Netherlands will need a miracle to survive. They'll need two goals in the next half hour, and the way it's going now it looks more like Portugal will be the team that's most likely to score again...:s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rtparrott Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ouch Dutchers. I was just in Amsterdam this week. There was an awful lot of orange bunting out, guess that'll be coming down now. You guys had an England tournament experience this past week.

Members onyxrhino Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I hate Portugal, they epitomize poor gamesmanship. honestly, i kind of agree with this. I don't really have any rooting interest against them or against specific players on their team. On paper, I wouldn't mind seeing them succeed. But every time I watch them play in one of these international tournaments, it's a total dive fest. It's almost sickening to actually watch them play.

I hate to see any player feign injury. It is cringe-worthy when an England player does it. It is the one thing about football that i really hate.

It is the one thing about football that i really hate. Yeah, we totally won today thanks to our dive fest. And we're the only team on the tournament that does it. Besides that football is such an uncorrupt and fair game at all levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members matchpoint Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 And those England players, im sure they're all morally superior to the Portuguese ones...i mean, they dont f*ck each others wifes and all that. Still, diving is serious business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rtparrott Posted June 18, 2012 Members Share Posted June 18, 2012 On your day, certainly. To be honest I could probably find someone or something to hate about every international and club side in the world. It would probably make for a better thread too.
