Does anyone have a contact number for FIFA?

Considering calling them to see if there's any way that they can give me the last 2 hours of my life back........

Great match, imo.

Great game

 

[LA Burns]

really not a soccer hater like many, but to call this a great game is a crock - think this game set soccer back a few years

 

[LA Burns]

and i think there would be many soccer purists that would agree


regardless, congrats Cie

Pretty sure soccer is in good shape worldwide, so am guessing you mean this match set soccer back in the US.

i enjoyed it all more than i expected to...but i have to say,the rule where they disqualify a player for the rest of the game and make a team play shorthanded ruins a well played,competitive game....

the refs decide the winner...i don`t like that...

hockey actually has it right....short-hand a team for a period of time...not the remainder of the game...

stupid rule,imo....ruined the game for me...

The threat of it usually stops people from kicking each other all game like happened today. He should have made this game 10 on 10 about 35 minutes in.

Good point

way to punitive...one foul shouldn`t be the determining factor in a game..

it would be an unimaginable rule in any other major sport(baseball,basketball,football)...

let the players decide the outcome...

Cie, guessing that you would agree that regardless of where a sport stands going into an event, it would be able to be set back in given event

True soccer is in good shape worldwide, and there are many reasons for that both socio-economic and otherwise, but I still think soccer was set back a few years today - truly ugly futbol IMHO


And lastly, think about the '06 final and then compare it to today's match - worlds apart man, worlds a f'n part


Anyway, like most who read this sad to see the 2010 WC go - always nice to have meaningful sporting action on an everyday basis



See you all in late August
