  • Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football

    NWSL game played on tiny field.

    1. Is there a rule against playing on dirt, or did the baseball team not want the infield to get ruined?
    2. Though NWSL standards are a 70 yd minimum, this game was still legal under FIFA standards which allow all the way to a 50 yd minimum, which I guess at that point makes the goal box the sidelines, or only leaves a yard or two.
    3. Back when Real and ManU played at Michigan, I thought the narrower field they had worked better for setting up scoring, but that field was at least into the 60s for yardage, if not reaching the minimum 70yd for FIFA int'l matches.

      So they left the lights to the stadium on overnight and now the place is infested with moths. They are everywhere. Great decision!

                  The only people excited about seeing CR7 out are bettors.

                  Meanwhile Glaxo Smith-Kline have filed suit to make sure this game is never rebroadcast because it'll be a better insomnia aid than their chemists will ever make.

                    Certainly don't want to see portugal rewarded for playing this way. At the same time, without ronaldo, tough to blame them.

                      Well, that's the wrong way to play it, for that to happen. Bummer.

                      It would have been worse had they scored on that free kick from a Portugal handball.

                        Allowing some 3rd place teams from the group stage to advance to the knockout stage certainly ruined this tournament.

                            Well that was annoying. Now let's keep showing ronaldo like he was the hero.

                              France had their chances. Just no puck luck.

                                being rarely in this thread, you all know I'm not much of a football fan.

                                But in hindsight- the goal that Portugal got- that was very set up by how frustrated France had gotten- that throw in was super sloppy, and when Portugal got control of the ball- it was mostly 1-1 covering and no real defense for France. Everyone had so much focus to win in OT, they didn't defend, which gave Portugal the ONE chance they really needed to win.

                                Ugly, no doubt. Still- France clearly messed up that whole play. From the bad handball call up to the goal- they lost focus, and got burned for it.

                                It IS fair to say France lost instead of Portugal won. But I think one can say that Portugal just messed with France's head all day long- which lead to the goal. From this sideline football fan.
