BP Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 At least Vertonghen and alderweireld have performed well for Spurs True, but they have always been on the LB & RB positions in our NT and I m afraid it ll be the same during the EC, due to lack of better players on that position.

Bold-Arrow Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Spain left Costa and Mata out germany included sweini and Podolski (?!?) in their preliminary squad. Gündoğan is out yet again . rashford made it to the England preliminary squat. Gotta feel bad for Welbeck , he was having a good second half of he season , out for 9 months now .

Frank Brickowski Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 So, in today's test match that Germany won 2-0 vs Hungary, there was one goal scored and declared offside, which was a wrong decision, and the two goals that DID count both WERE IN FACT offside, but declared legit. Ridiculous "sport", my opinion remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of three game-deciding referee decisions, all three were wrong because of a rule (offside) that is impossible to enforce properly. Still they change nothing about it and dont even think about asking themselves if that rule is needed at all, 90 years after it was introduced for totally different reasons than what it is supposed (but not able) to ensure in games today.

I suspect the biggest obstacle for sensible modernization in past decades was Blatter himself. Still a lot of old men remain in the high ranks of FIFA. Introducing video replays being reviewed on the field would be a great step forward, yet I stay sceptical if this will ever become reality.

They should have broadcast the NBA finals instead, that would have come much, much closer to the term "sports entertainment". The Euro 2016 opening game was more like "sports boredom". So, what a relieve this game is over... oh, wait... four more weeks ahead... D'oh! Edited June 11, 2016 by Frank Brickowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thought Payet and Kante played well. Pogba reminds me a lot of Balotelli; shows signs of ability overshadowed by arrogance and inconsistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Frank it's clear you don't like football so why keep putting yourself through the misery of watching it. It's growing a little tiresome when every football related thread gets hijacked into the "why Frank Brickowski hates football" Maybe a mod could create you your own thread and move each of your derogatory posts so the rest of us don't have to endure trawling through them.
