Don't give FIFA ideas though, they'll do anything to get the American buck (and then China is next on the hit list).

Another example is from cricket where the ICC are meddling with one day games (Chisanga will know what I'm talking about) - and bring in "supersubs" and "power plays" which are nothing like hockey "powerplays" but why worry?
Instead of dealing with the real reason fewer people are going to ODIs - there are too many, they start changing the rules that have been there since time infinitum.

Heresy! ICC should be shot. Supersubs suck. I think EVERY international Captain thinks they are stupid

I wonder if that went over our American friends heads?
Did you see when the "USA" played in the Champions Trophy? They were a disgrace - playing former West Indian and Indian players in their 40s.

Problem with Spain is they run hot and cold. When they're hot they are almost unstoppable, when not they are laughable.

No they'll choke soon enough.

And before you ask the Dutch players will still have a bust-up as well.

Did anyone like the supersub ever? If not then why was it brought in?
With some sports organizations I wonder whether those in charge think "we're not doing anything anyway, lets change the rules that have been there since the game was invented".
They change them back after a while anyway, but not after annoying their fan base.

hockey is my guess, aside from lack of experience and quality coaching, as well as powerful academies and such like most of Western Europe....and of course, America.

Not much money in these countries leads to poor infrastructure, so they are not able to produce star players.

Halftime: 2-0 Spain, Ukraine have very little chance in this game. Look to Spain to extend their lead in the second half.
