1379160 2014-07-13 23:18:00 Had to look up who won :blush: knew there was something I was gonna do this morning.

At least it wasn't won by a penalty shoot out like some of the others - to me that's not exactly fair, its meant to be a team sport, not down to one man.

1379161 2014-07-13 23:42:00 Down to five skilled men and then the rest of the team if necessary. Penalties are where the really good players are sorted from the likes of me. Its a real skill to be able to score a penalty, it is nowhere as easy as it looks. Bryan (147)

What about the goalkeeper isn't he a skilled man too!!!!

1379163 2014-07-14 00:52:00 Sure is - a hell of a position. The great Eusabio of Barcelona said he could have the ball in the back of the net in .5 of a second. The greatest goalkeeper would take .9 of a second to react. Reading the kickers foot and then the rest of his body/leg motion is paramount but still not good enough especially if the ball is above waist high and close to a post, no keeper should save that!

Not if he lets the ball through

1379166 2014-07-14 01:15:00 As SWMBO says, if its a draw at the end, instead of penalty shootouts, it should go on which team has the least amount of infringements against them in the game wins EG: less yellow /red cards, that way the whole game may be a few less "Hollywood's" and fake falls. If it was a clean game ( which I doubt) then penalty shoot outs. wainuitech (129)
1379167 2014-07-14 01:48:00 Down to five skilled men . . .
Until I read that, I thought the thread was about soccer, but two words rule that out . . . :devil

3 . . . Now all we have to get thro is our NZ Elections .
