In 160 mph winds? I do not think so.
Does any one know if FIFA has made any contingency plans in case Isabel decides to visit DC or Philadelphia next weekend?
Does any one have any information about the opening ceremonies? I thought that they were supposed to ber at RFK before the USA game on 9/21, but...
I have two extra tickets for the game on Wednesday and one extra ticket for the game on Sunday. They are alll in section 305 that is accross the...
Does any one know if the date for this game changed? There is an email from WUSA that says the game is on the 20th, not the 19th.
I am planning oh going to this game. I will be driving over and back on the same day. If any one wants to go with me, email me.
Not quite. It is in play from the kick-off when it is kicked and moves forward. If it moves backwards, it is not in play, it is an illegal...
Wrong. If neither the ref nor the AR were able to determine that Ecklemann touched the ball, then the correct call is a corner kick.
Once, I had a situation where the keeper got possesion of the ball and then fell on top of it and was winded. This happened right in front of the...
Drenasu, pushing the ball ahead is part of dribbling. I would have to see the play to make a judgment. The fact remains that there was a...
Not being there, I can only give an opinion based on your description. You said 'I was running straight towards my own goal and the forward...
Thank for pointing out my mistake. I meant to say 12 yards. I edited the post to use the correct terminology.
Statesman, I agree with you, but 'Advantage' has a very strict meaning in soccer. When we fail to call an offside because the ball went to the...
Actually, all players except the keeper and the kicker must be "behind the penalty mark", not just the attacking players.
The PK is neither DFK nor an IFK. It is a PK, and it has it's own rules. One of the rules is that a goal may be scored directly (so in this...
There can not be any offside on a PK as long as the refree made sure that the players are in their proper possition and no player encroaches...
Please let's stop arguing about advantage and offside. It is in black and white on the 'Advice to Referees on the Laws of the Game' 2001 edition...
Actually, the 'better' referees do not even turn their back on the ball while going to the 10 yard location, to be the first 'brick' in the wall....
This is true, specially on a kick that is going to the players face (or other sensitive area) and the intent of the player was clearly to protect...
Lanman, I still like my idea of 15 yards better. Referee sets up the wall, they start to creep, he moves the wall back another 5 yards.
Wrong. If it is not deliberate, it makes no difference if it gives the player an advantage or not. There is nothing in law XII about giving the...
Kristy, I emailed you a copy of a picture that I took of Brandy. I have one autographed copy left. If you want it, reply to my email
I am in section 305 (could not aford $55 tickets) for both games. Row c for Wednesday's game and row b for Sunday's game. 305 is just south of...
I still think that giving the referee the ability to make it 15 yards will solve most if not all of the wall problems, provided it is used by all...
I am sorry, I thought that the idea behind these forums was to discuss issues. If 'no one cares' about what I say, then I guess that I will stop...
