GSG Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So yellow card = penalty shot? /ignorant No. Penalty shot is what they do to the referee if Brazil doesn't win Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So yellow card = penalty shot? /ignorant A foul called on the defense, in the 18 yard box around the goal, is a penalty kick. What the referee though happened was the defender put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him down. What actually happened was his hand briefly touched his shoulder and the guy took a dive.

zoogs Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 That penalty was really disappointing. I was talking to a guy from Mexico today and he said a few teams play pretty indifferently in the group stage knowing they'll advance, mentioning Brazil and Argentina specifically. Brazil, he said, are happy to keep it to a draw, and pounce on a score here or there if the other team slips up. If they do happen to lose this way they'll just take it out on the next team. That's some kind of confidence. Quote Link to comment

That's some kind of confidence. Brazil is by far the most talented team this year. They have some youth and inexperience that may end up being their undoing, but they probably can turn it on and burn their group teams. Mexico has looked paltry. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Aerodynamics of the World Cup's New Ball Pretty interesting, even if you're not into soccer A traditional ball experiences maximum knuckling at about 30 miles per hour, which is far lower than the typical speed produced by a professional player. Jabulani, a much smoother ball, has maximum knuckling at 50 to 55 miles per hour, which is exactly the expected kicking speed, so it's totally expected that World Cup players noticed the problem back in 2010. The increased roughness of the new ball, Brazuca, drops the critical speed for increased knuckling back down to 30 miles per hour again, so it shouldn't come into play for this year's World Cup.

Minnesota_husker Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I've never been into soccer but I am doing my best to give this a try. If you are still in Lincoln go to Captain jacks or Barrys to watch the game with the Outlaws. It is simply amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment

ShawnWatson Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I just found out how offsides is called and that a team can only substitute three times a game. I am learning stuff you guys. Also, this flopping sh#t is ridiculous, they make the NBA look tough. Why is this sh#t not policed? Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Offsides is such a stupid rule. I can see them calling it if a guy is just standing on the other side of the field, but when you get closer to your goal it should be cut out like hockey. The offense should not be penalized for the defense not knowing where the offensive guys are on the field. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It has nothing to do with the defense not knowing where the offensive guys are positioning themselves. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. Quote Link to comment
