There's nothing i hate more in the NBA than the Instant replay rule. What makes sport beautiful are mistakes, the contreversy, the moment they adapat such rules in football it will be dead.

The NBA is a joke when it comes to professional sports leagues. It draws many parallels from football leagues from around the world.

Back in the day, human error was just that, human error. I don't think people back then even thought about the possibility of such things as players going down like they've been shot to try to draw a penalty or get the opposing player sent off, or refs being paid off to favor a specific team, or a host of other things that are wrong with football these days that go beyond the realm of simple human error. I agree that a little controversy & human aspect is somewhat charming thing about the sport, but unfortunately these days there's a greater cost.

I don't think that there should be instant replay for everything, but maybe a coach could call for it a maximum of 1 time per half or something. I don't know really, it does seem really weird thinking about how it could be implemented in football, because we're all so used to how it is now.

(And I don't follow the NBA so I'm not exactly sure how it works there.)

I think the American sports system is by far the best system around. Not only in keeping the level of Competition distributed equally through Drafts, but they have in general always been far more advanced than Europeans. They were the first to realize the value of commercialization and realized the importance of adopting a 'challenge' system that ensures almost always, that the team that wins is the better team, and frequently as possible. Europe, and especially Serie A would be wise to take a few lessons about how sports are managed in the US.

Assuming you could change the entire sporting spectrum and culture overnight it still wouldn't work, European countries are too small individually in terms of population to sustain a league of franchises with funding parity and fan bases to support these franchises. Just have a look at how many cities in each European country have more than a million people in the metropolitan area, it's not even a handful in each.

Besides, the Premier League has essentially taken all the workable examples from the US model to create their successful model. That's what Italy should be aiming to do.

Yeah, I don't like the concept of drafts & such in football at all. Don't care for the whole "franchise"/business aspect either. I hate when American commentators call a European football club a "franchise".

In other news, Milan lost another friendly today... against their own primavera.

Sports isn't about a level field and everyone having the same opportunities.

Socialist hippie pigs. Wy don't you Americans move into a commune and redistribute your weed, wine and wenches while we Yurops bathe in the virile nectar of capitalist sports freedom.

 

[Nzoric]

I quite like the American system. Teams in Europe should definitely come with a wage cap, atleast.

If we come with a wagecap, then teams will respond with bonusses.


Screw the american system really

what did he say ?

I think the problem is though that people outside Italy tend to not understand this, so FIGC has to take a hardline stance for the league's reputation & global appeal.

What people outside of Italy are going to understand these regional insults?

I can't imagine football without 'territorial discrimination'.

In your Dundee slums,
In your Dundee slums,
You rake in the bucket for something to eat,
You find a dead rat and you think its a treat,
In your Dundee slums...

Or pehaps:

You are a Weegie,
A filthy Weegie,
You're only happy on giro day,
Your da's a stealer,
Your ma's a dealer,
Please don't take my hubcaps away...

Etc....

what did he say ?

Suggesting the capital of Indonesia will be renamed Jakartone since Thohir took over at Inter.

It's a play on 'cartone', Italian for cardboard, in reference to Inter's paper/cardboard scudetto of 2006.

I was asking a Morton fan about this situation and he came up with the same song for Paisley. Liverpool get the same all the time, but it's a problem in Italy for some reason.

Tottenham always get yid chants as well, not territorial but no one makes a fuss out of that.

I tried to buy a tubo di cartone to ship back an art poster I got here in Italy. Feckin' Poste Italiane had jack shit to help me out.

That's because the rest of the Premiership deserves mongoloid chants.
