And also a great Question of the Day coming up whenever it gets a bit boring today.

Since soccer was basically invented in 1846 a number of changes have been made like penalties, cards, allowing goaltenders to use their hands, etc.

Local(-ish) teams, especially if they are sleeping giants, therefore Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. And look what happened to them.

From FIFA site:

"The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise of precisely this skilful technique dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China"

And 3 points for a win. But having different valued goals - come on, man.

And Eumel made some good points, that teams would just shoot from distance to score more points and so the number of goals scored may well go down.

bababui · 06-14-2006, 10:23 AM

When you have Schevchenkp and a team with a track record of failure like the Spanish, can we say a game is ever really over this early?

When you have Shevchenko and that's all you've got in your team, you can say a game is over this early, yep.

I dont agree with him at all. Its a ridiculous idea.

Ukraine came out on top of a very difficult qualifying group..if they can get one back before the half this could get good

My response:

we already have one American Football, we dont need a 2nd version, especially something that ridiculous...its not even Americanization, its bastardization.

I understand where hes coming from, but the interest gained wouldnt outweigh the interest lost and the poor reflection on this in an out of the country.

I wouldn't mind seeing a demonstration game or something like that, but to actually think that the MLS would adopt the rules of the MISL is ridiculous.

The Problem with Football in the US is that the game is not conducive to having 40 million commercial breaks through the game

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the Ukraine.

bababui · 06-14-2006, 10:30 AM

IMO FIFA has been trying to increase scoring by ratcheting up the officiating and cutting back on physical play..like they also so in the NFL.
