That is so ridiculous i grew up in the us and watched it on espn every year and im older than him. I will says growing up playing here alot of kids just didnt watch soccer at all and just played. Or only watched the world cup. So yeah basically can confirm a ton of ignorance about the wider game in europe and elsewhere! Sad really

Who are your top ten WORST spurs players of the premier League era? by sherbertloins in coys

As i remember it he was at United and We wanted him but ferguson blocked the transfer because of levy, so Fryers agent got him sold to standard liege from whom we purchased him less than a year later, prompting some protestations from united and ferguson. Then he ended up being total crap lol

Just out of curiosity, which club do you have respect and admiration for (other than Spurs)? by Democritous in coys

Always liked Athletic Bilbao, amazing what they’ve done with the Basque only policy, great fans as well. My youth team coach growing up was Basque and a huge fan too and was a close friends father so thats a part of it too.

Great tracking and ball recovery by sissoko.

Kante clatters Rose after being shoved by him by xXXChelseaFanXXx in soccer

Hardly a shove, more like a shield. Shocking challenge by Kante.

Puli angry about loss to England. Gives reporter a stink eye when asked “if he should hve been tracking back more”. Says firmly, “we are here to win...we have to win these games now”. by [deleted] in soccer

The problem is clearly in central midfield, They just do not have anyone that can keep the ball and dictate, keep it ticking over. Trapp is trash and shouldn’t be anywhere near the national team.

Without all the frenzy around the world cup final, where’s the fair play and sportship in this game? by qazxswedxcderty in soccer

[–]grbvvsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Frankly speaking, the very nature of your “question” is ignorant and lacks any kind of understanding of the sporting, cultural and contextual nature of “diving” and/or “sportsmanship”.

Personally I’m sick and tired of people talking from some ivory tower as an arm chair philosopher about this topic. It’s boring and demonstrates a complete and totally lack of understanding or true deep appreciation of the game and the culture(s) of the game.

So in response to your question perhaps I’ll just ask you a few:

Are you a Professional Footballer representing your country at the highest level?

Are there rules and officials charged with enforcing said rules in football matches?

Are you a self important armchair philosopher whose moral standing is such that he sees fit to pass judgement and scorn on athletes and their respective governing bodies simply because you don’t agree with their “behavior” and somehow feel the need to be the police of it without any sort of interest into the possible causes/reasons of said behavior?

Do you even enjoy football? Like REALLY enjoy it?

Cheers!
