Shirt pulling

I thought it was a goal aswell, i was pretty heartbroken...

Baraja's goal was disallowed for pushing in the box

no way! both goals should never have been disallowed. I didn't see any unusual "shirt pulling"
you bribed the referee!

and when your keeper saved that penalty, he was miles ahead of his line. alright, enough with the beetching

I was gonna mention that, and say "don't anyone even mention the penalty save... what keeper doesn't do that these days?"

 

[JuveCampione]

yeah maybe. but if it was Casillas the referee would say the player can shoot again.

 

[gray]

yeah, everybody knows that, since it's easy to say such things in hindsight

 

[JuveCampione]

hey stop with the rolleyes thing.

everybody knows that your games were fixed

 

[gray]

I try to be a graceful winner, but it's hard in the midst of sore losers




Okay i'll stop now

it's almost hypnotising when all those eyes are moving together...

 

[JuveCampione]

I think it's annoying

English is used as a working language and every captain of every team is expected to have basic knowledge of the language. That goes for referees as well.

There are of course some exceptions. When Holland face Belgium and the referee is from Luxembourg, they language used will probably be Dutch. With Germany vs Austria and a Dutch referee, the language will probably be German.

Those are, however, unofficial agreements which the referee and the captains will discuss prior to the match. During the flipping of the coin for example.

So when Juve plays other teams in the CL, DP speaks english to the ref ?? I was unaware that DP had any knowledge of the english language

And when the Azzurri play, Cannavaro, our captain can speak english ?? I know that Vieri may be the only english speaking azzurro, unless someone else knows of others ??

I've heard him speak english a couple of times. It's not like he's fluent or anything, but he's not bad either.

Someone posted a video on here sometime about him learning English, and it was pretty bad then. He know what all of the weekdays were named for one, and his pronounciation was... eh... below average.

 

[vitoria_Ally]

Yes, he was, but he really improved since then.

I think that video was pretty old. I heard him in a interview during the WC, and I thought he did allright.

Doesn't matter if he's fluent or not. What matters is that the ref and the captain understands each other, and I don't think they would have any problems in DP's case.

Does anyone know which non-English-speaking-country players are good at English? Apart from the ones that play in the Premier League. I was surprised at how good Figo was at English, and I guess all the Dutch guys are good at English.

Maybe they just need to know a couple of keywords about football and the rest can be explained using body language and facial expressions.

Just like tourists shopping overseas...only need to know how to say "how much" " cheaper" blah blah blah

Just a wild guess from me though

 

[sallyinzaghi]

i didnt know del piero does, i wish i could see him speak english. i just love the italian accent when they speak english.

Well it's not like you need to be fluent in order to argue with a referee. All a player really needs to do is memorise a couple of standard sentences!

Gray - all Dutch players speak English. Like all Dutch people. Players from the east of the country (like Van Nistelrooy and Makaay) even speak German on top of that.
