Actually, I must apologize, I saw the play you're referencing at my favorite Thai place during lunch and it was indeed a horrible call. I'm shocked full blown riots didn't ensue...
It's an international game, so changing rules could result in WWIII, but I think the game could take a lesson from hockey and examine ways to increase scoring. The Stanley Cup was a ratings bust, but the improvement in the game has been overwhelmingly endorsed by NHL fans.
Ate Thai again today for lunch and struggled to stay awake while watching the Brazil-Ghana on the new flat panel my firend and owner just put up. Brazil was up 1-0 when I left a few minutes ago...
Maybe if they added scantly clad women to the game somehow. Boobies will always improve a sport.
The tardiness of my comment is partially due to my World Cup obsession. I watched Germany lose to Italy yesterday, and it's all over for this anglo-tueton.
Tony doesn't like it because it's one place where there's just no challenge to a statement like 'USA SUCKS'.
My bet is if the US could put up a decent team, Tony would run out to foot locker and buy a jersey.

Ambien = Soccer
I can barely hold my head up after saying the name of the sport. Non-girlie men of Europe play hockey.
I go back and forth. Some of the matches are very exciting. Yesterdays two snoozers, particularly the Ukraine-Switzerland match, were painful.

Maybe they add checking to soccer?
'add' checking to soccer? Soccer is currently a combination of running for 90 minutes and Muy Thai boxing. There's lots of contact.
The diving has got to stop, but the game doesn't need fixing. Like with any sport, though, the officiating does.
Despite some terrible officiating, Sunday's Portugal/Netherlands game was unbelievably exciting. And Germany/Argentina should be top notch on Friday.
I'm fired up for the Brazi-Ghana match. It is a pleasure watching Brazil play.
