That's what used to happen all the time in Beirut, and that's what was recommended for referees after Italy games. Jokes are jokes, and I try to find humor in everything, but i have faieled to find it there.

I'm talking about killing people. Seeing people die right in front of you. Not, just your grandma dying of old age, but watching a man drown in his own blood from being shot in the neck. What were you talking about.

Even so, I would think that some one who has seen what violence really does, wouldn't even joke about something like that.

That is not only wrong, but sickeningly terroristic. And you claim to be from Beirut?

I fail to see that.

Nope, your wrong on all accounts denco. Sweden holds no speciality to me, except for that I am Swedish in ethnicity. The USA is just a temporary home, I can't wait to leave actually. And Holland may be where my heart is, but it is not my true love. Juventus finally is just a team.

I am also confused.

And Erik answers another question before I can...

However, that doesn't mean that he wasn't paid off. I would find it hard to believe that if he was paid off, that he would be so irresponsible with such ill-gotten gains.

I can only conjecture, but this may have been a spur of the moment thing. I mean the conspirators could have looked at France and seen the two slowest people on earth in the middle of their defence, and their two creators (Pires, and Zidane) injured. THey could have even paid off Argentina. I...

I have to dissagree. Teh more I think about it, the more it seems like the whole thing was written like a script by some one from the Nike advertising department.

The game doesn't stop in foot ball if a goal is taken away and the ball stays in play. There would be no time. Therefore, only allowed goals, or dissallowed ones where the play is stopped, would be reviewed. Consequently there would be an inbalance. right now, some goals are wrongly...

I agree. btw, I find your signature to be offensive, however true it may be.

I just have one real point: Isn't it better to miss a call than to make a bad call? In my book it is. Referees and Linesmen don't seem to understand this. Every call that was even close (especially on off-sides), they blew the whistle. I think that this led to the poor offciating, not a...
