Lifetime ban for the keeper seems appropriate. There was one instance of assault with the bump, and then TWO incidents of attempting to injure...
When I think of a "professional" foul, I think of a foul that a professional would make when he knows EXACTLY what he's doing. In other words, I...
I don't know the answer to this question, but could AR mechanics just not be that big of a deal in other countries? I can obviously speak for US...
If you want a Mercedes of a coach, sometimes you have to pay Mercedes money. Besides, Klinsmann can live off of the money he made as German...

I also agree with this. The key thing is to get the call right. I'll give you an example. I was the center in an adult game two years ago....
