do any of u guys watch womens soccer, thats tottally to mens soccer, at leasts these women stand back up after a tackle instead of tumble rolling on the ground trying to sell a foul
Oh the my balls are bigger than yours game. Why is this even discussed? Why the are we worried about how soccer compares to other games? Since when is the only measure of a "man" how hard you hit? Lets put some NFL or rugby players on a pitch and see how long they can run around before they are ing dying of exhaustion.
If you think American sports are better or more ing manly then great, go watch them. I don't get the need for so many of my fellow Americans to dog on soccer and say that our more popular sports are better because "fill in the blank".
In the NBA you have just as much flopping as in soccer. In football you have idiots who celebrate every tackle like they just won the super bowl. In MLB you have the fear that anyone you root for has taken steroids. In the NHL, well nevermind LOL hockey.
But you get the point.

Dude, shut your ing trap. I've been following the WC since I was 5. I never said American sports were better (in fact, I called out the NBA in my last post if you'd bothered to ing read). I was taking issue with the rather ambiguous assertion that soccer is a "man's game." Define that, please? Oh, that's right, you can't--that's why I defined it according to the ability to come back just as strong after a hit (in football and rugby, the hits are car-force intensity. Oh, and see what I did there? I don't even like rugby, and it sure ain't an American game). Call it "toughness," if you will. Soccer, on the other hand, values athletes that have the most endurance, not toughness. Consider also, for all the running soccer players do, they don't have to go full tilt the entire time (also, that's why flopping happens more and more at the end of games--players trying to catch wind. Pull that in any other sport and see what happens).
At the end of the day, it's like comparing a sprinter to a long-distance runner--only the sprinter has to do it multiple times. Two completely different approaches to games--therefore two completely different definitions of "manly." Is that clear enough for you? Jesus H. Christ, don't pull that ing American ignorance bull up in here.
So much butthurt in this thread, ya'll just mad
You would of thought FIFA would implement instant replay towards the end of the games after "la mano de dios" debacle back in 86'. But it is what it is and the current players are at no fault why the game is played the way it is currently. Blame those old geezers from Switzerland.
You do understand that Women's soccer is played at a much slower pace and way less physical than Men's soccer. Why do you think women don't play real baseball or football?
Everybody talks about the so called "cheating" in the Uruguay game, but nobody seems to give Muslera any props. Dude was freakin clutch in that game. Him and Forlan have icy cold Andean water following through their veins.
If a ball is clearly going in the goal and a player intentionally bats it away with a hand the goal stands and the player gets ejected. Just clean up the game to eliminate those type of plays.
That's how we handle those plays in the schoolyard... "gol sobre mano" / "goal over handball"
Hey Capt Dip !
They followed the rules you moron.
lol butthurt got
daily mail in England adds to the butthurt...

lmao England
there isnt outright cheating by fifa, just players/teams testing the refs, that happens in every sport. but because of the politics you get crap refs placed to get votes, instead of the best refs possible. the reffing in domestic leagues tend to be better than this. every game i've seen holland play, van bommel gets away with coming in from behind to break a counter with no yellow. i'm 99% sure in the champions league that would get called.
a lot of people talk about technology, but there have been obvious, obvious mistakes that IMO were not a matter of seeing it better. the worst is the refs have double standards. they'll put a yellow on a guy for complaining, and not do anything when a guy kicks another before he can turn around to face him. i like that the rules are simple, but its possible to have better officiating just by improving the job structure, instead they just use it as an excuse to funnel funds and curry favor.
Epic win!
