Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
My point was more that it's the national capital, if they have to put up six rows of portable bleachers on the National Mall, they will still be in the rotation. (Side note, that would be kind of cool).

Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
If you'd ever stop with the whining you'd know I became a fan around 1977 or so. My first soccer coach was from Manchester and he was a fan, so as a bright-eyed kid that looked up to his coach I became one as well. Back then of course it was extremely difficult to follow the EPA but I did what I could. No, I've never been to a match and no I'm not up to speed on all the hating that goes on but that's beside the point that my retort was well-played.
Cute response but you know as a ManUtd supporter that you have this song called Glory Glory, Man United which all the teams that hate ManUtd have turned into a song called Who the **** are Man United, right? Or do you not know that. I don't expect many Man Utd fans to know anything about the team's history prior to 1995.

Jens Lehmann looks set to return to Arsenal.
In other news, rumors that Japan is going to pull out of the Copa America. Understandable obviously.

Does he still have a jheri-curl? I hope he still has a jheri-curl.

On the bright side, after the last week or so, Arsenal's fixture congestion is gone! Who knows, with ManU still tied up in several other competitions on top of the EPL, Arsenal might be the fresher squad down the stretch, if they don't keep dropping like flies.

So in all this...you admit you didn't get the joke? LOL. Fan since 1977...but not a knowledgable one.

Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
I think the point here is that they don't want to undermine the officials *with a system that's still experimental*.

We've been using Replay in sports over here in North America for a while now, and we've more or less have got it figured out fairly well for most stuff. How are those English Pig-Dogs types going to screw up going over to a hood and looking at the replay??

Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
This is ball-tracking technology like what they use in tennis, not going under a hood and looking at a replay, which I think is what they're trying to avoid given that maintaining the flow of the game is more important in soccer than it is in, say, baseball.

Right, I think Sepp's criteria is that a correct decision must be made within one second of the incident in order to be acceptable.
I understand the reasoning of not releasing the results, I'm worried though that that gives FIFA cover to refuse to release them even at the end of the season, regardless of how successful the tests were.
Still though, I think the worrying about undermining officials ship has sailed a long long long time ago.

The MLS season opener is boring. Very boring.

Really? I didn't think it was so bad, especially early on.
Biggest MLS news of the night though is RSL getting a 2-0 victory over Saprissa in the first leg of their CCL semifinal.

I know that Inter isn't your typical Italian club (and they did win off of some nice goals today), but I'm incredibly ****ed to see them win over Bayern today.
In part because Bayern is probably the only big-money European club that I ever/sort of actively root for, and also because I ****ing loathe everything about Italian soccer.
