Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football
Originally posted by Jimjamesak View PostAs a referee: no, just no. Running it on a stadium clock is just terrible, it's done in high school and college here and it just sucks. In fact time wasting is usually worse because teams know that a) how much time is left and b) they can do things to waste time that a referee can do nothing about. Also, time running out in the middle of a team being on a breakaway sucks. The reality is referees just need to enforce the actual amount of stoppage time and FAs need to support referees doing this.Michigan Tech Legend, Founder of Mitch's Misfits, Co-Founder of Tech Hockey Guide, and Creator/Host of the Chasing MacNaughton Podcast covering MTU Hockey and the WCHA.

It's not a referee issue, it's a game play issue. Frankly anything that takes more pressure off the officials is better in a sport where the player-referee interaction is often an unnecessary distraction.
Anyway, the referee still has loads of power since it's their decision to blow the play dead.

Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football
Originally posted by unofan View PostGoing to a rugby type rule where play continues until the ball is put out of play would alleviate some of the "clock winds down on a breakaway" situations. Not all, certainly, but some.
A rule like college lacrosse where you have to move the ball beyond half pitch within a certain amount of time after gaining possession would not hurt either.
Great soccer is amazing, but even mediocre soccer is awful. A few rule changes to punish cynical play would go a long way.Cornell University

I also liked the sash jerseys, and actually, looking back at all of them, the Bomb pop works for me now too. I don't really like our current jerseys.
In Confed Cup action, looks like the Russians need a win or a tie with a Portugal loss to move on.
Group B could actually have a four way tie.Go Green! Go White! Go State!
