    They are comfortable.......but they don't hold up well.

    I guess it's be thankful for passive offside.

    Speaking of passive offside, take a look at this:

    Especially look at the flash animations (that's the only way I could really understand :eek: ).

    This may not be the right thread to discuss this, but is there anything different in the way refs will be making calls during this championship game?

    Not sure, i like this interpretation. There was one situation where a player (player A) was obvoiusly offside but not played the ball, with the ball played to the other side of the box. I think this player definately would affect the play by keeping the keeper on the goal line instead of being able to shut down the angle on player B.

    They just need to do a better job of hiring sharp, quick liesmen instead of changing the rules. The laws of the game are fine, its just the people that are calling it that have problems. In this dqay and age should not be too hard to get technology to help without being like the NFL and holding the game up for another 10 minutes of ads.

    I know which animation you're talking about...crazy eh?

    Agree with you completely about hiring and training sharp refs. To me, these new offside rules would seem to make the linesman's job complicated as now they have way too many more people to look at and things to look for. :rolleyes:

    What's just as questionable is giving a card for touching the ball by any team member of a player who commits a foul including the foul committing player himself. Could you imagine being red-carded out of a game because of touching the ball after a foul? Sometimes emotion over rules and especially when a perceived bad call is made...a player is frustrated and gives the ball a push, but now these players can be carded for that?

    Morocco had a player ejected for two yellows. I wonder if this rule had anything to do with it?

    I don't like that rule either, could see a lot of controversy from it. I would like to see them add goal line cameras though.
