World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

[Jimjamesak]

Worse than Formula 1?

Actually, yes. You know what the chances are of Argentina having an English referee on any of their games? 0.

Actually Asia is a better example. Their final two qualifying spots came down to two groups of three teams each. The games were each hosted in a different country. Guess which countries got to host? Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

I still don't see the touch that supposedly put the guy offside. The spin on the ball didn't appear to change at all.

I hold the same thought.

Is Fall River, MA going nuts?

This feels like "what is a catch" level of BS.

Allegedly they know he touched it because of the chip inside the ball.

If it can detect movement from human hair possibly touching it, who's to say it didn't hit a bug or a wind gust instead?

Do the trainers on football teams carry water from Lourdes? Players are in absolute agony, rolling around with pained expressions and then the medical staff come out, spray some water on them and - hallelujah! They're cured!
