OK, if you don't even know the phrase "outfield players" in football, please stop trying to teach me about a game I've watched - in the flesh, at the very, very top level - for 30 years. Thanks.

I was joking around, we dont usually use the phrase outfield players in America for the reason I said, we typically say "field" players.

and you being able to watch the "very, very" top level for 30 years, doesn't make you a better person than myself.

FYI, In those last four 0-0 knockout draws, two have been won by a golden goal, and two have been won on penalties.

Whilst penalties look the most likely, I think we'll have a winner (probably Switzerland).

I'm going to think about how many brilliant stats (IMHO) have been wasted, by the page turning over soon after I posted.

again, the defender is entitled to the space he is occupying, he had been there for over a second and the Italian chose to [fake] trip over him, he could have touched it around him or simply gone over him.

youre saying that if a player is laying on the ground and someone runs into him its a foul.

theasfl · 06-26-2006, 06:03 PM

the Swiss have an open header but the forward wusses out...this has to go to PKs.

I have no idea what that Award is, however I think you may have to have all your posts in more than just two threads to be eligible to win it.
