World Cup

[Cajun90]

I don't know. I would hope the refs would have a stop watch or something to record the time. Why can't they show this on a big scoreboard? I don't understand why they just don't stop the clock like every other sport in the world?

So a sport with thousands of years of history and who's rules were defined in 1869 with a governing body formed in 1904 should change to match sports that came along long after it did?

I personally think that is one of the great things about soccer. It is continuous flow without all the stoppage of some other sports.

I love football and baseball. I question the rules all the time. Lighten up.

Not directed at you Charlie, I've been hearing this for years..

You are obviously a fan which I support. I love hockey which most folks down here fall asleep watching. I question a few rules in hockey. Why the heck is the puck hard as hell? It keeps the dentist busy.

I agree. Football season can't start soon enough.

You are going to hear it every 4 years, you might as well get used to that.

You guys are killing me.
This is why people hate Americans when it comes to sports.
"If it's not done our way, it's wrong, damn it!"
This is the worlds game. Bigger and older than any other sport, and theres a reason.

To Rage's point, yes they did allow the attack to finish. Wouldn't it be more fishy if they cut you off in the middle of a legit scoring chance when the time-add is already inconspicuous? If that had been Dempsey scoring, the narrative would be how great and gutty the Americans are to pull that result out.

Let's have some perspective.

It wouldn't be fishy if there was a set time and if the ball didn't cross the goaline before that time was up it didn't count.

How about the biting! Usually that stops in nursery school.

What is wild is Saurez has done this several times in the past...he should be banned for the rest of the Tourney

I wish FIFA would ban Suarez from all competitions.

Not all soccer players bite and flop. Just like not all NFL players eye gouge, stomp on nads, or spit on people.

How many times before you're banned for life? That's his 3rd time doing this.
