Why Is It So Hard To Win A World Cup Game?

italy sucks

its a faggot sport played by queers...

God you are just a mountain of dumb sometimes aren't you?

[TheLock]

How did Italy not win?

Answer:

1)Even though they had roughly 14 more corners than NZL, none of them resulted in a goal.

2)NZL had 2 (or was it 3) shots on goal in 94 minutes. One of them went in.

3) The NZL goalkeeper played the game of his life

That's pretty much the story. NZL got dominated for 93 minutes and they dodged a ton of bullets.

It's a proper "World" tournament, unlike the shitty MLB "WORLD" series.

"Take away the offside rules"

All sports need not be high-scoring to be entertaining. Next you'll be saying get rid of defenders and just play attackers.

And American football players are fannies, wearing helmets and padding and shite.

I have really enjoyed the World Cup so far. I have been holding my own in betting the games. I have bet ever single game so far. I really like Chile tomorrow. Lets get em!

I don't see Messi or Ronaldo outrunning Chris Johnson RB Tenn Titans. No way on Earth. And Johnson is even a lot bigger than those 2. I don't see Messi or Ronaldo outrunning or out jumping Derrick Rose PG Bulls. And Rose is much bigger. You just can't compare athletes in soccer vs the athletes in American sports. Somebody tell me that Messi or Ronaldo would beat Johnson in any kind of sprint. Or if either has a higher vertical jump than Rose. Rose is 6-4 and he would beat Ronaldo in a sprint. Its a higher quality athlete in the NBA and NFL than in soccer at the highest level.

The soccer players do flop but so do the NBA players.

I don't consider hockey an american sport.

And the reason why its so hard to win at soccer is the offsides penalty. It ruins the game, makes a 2 goal advantage impossible to overcome. Makes it a crap shoot when you pair up the best teams. Take away offsides and the game opens up and becomes the number 2 played game in USA.

Sure, if you compare them to one of the fastest guy on the plantes, of course theyll not outrun them... but overall, soccer is the most physical demanding sport of all and thats because u need the 11 players on the field to be in top of their shape and have great ahtlete condition. I think NBA is the closest one compared to soccer but still you have lots of players that cant be qualify as athletes and mostly are there because of their physical attributes and dont need much physical preparation. You put Big Baby Davis in a soccer field and hell have a heart attack in the 5th minute. Name one out of shape player on this world cup or in any decent european or south american league and ill give you props.. I can name you hundreds from all of the american sports...

The offside statement is just nonesense.. Do you know what would mean for defenders if offside wouldnt exist. It would be impossible to cover the whole field because strikers would just lay wherever they wanted just waiting for long crosses.. Thats one of the most imporant aspects of the game and plays a huge role on how good a team is defensively. The defensive line in soccer is not just bout avoiding players to get through, but also to know how to keep their lines organized so forwards will have a tough time breaking through on long crosses without being caught in an offside position. Take away offsides and only usa would watch it.

lol my response goes to that idiot then

my cousin is/was staying here. I wake up from a nap on the couch, he is drunk on my computer and has my passwords to everything including bank accounts and forums. He makes a comment on here and 1 other forum I use and in a separate window is one of my bank accounts that he logged in to. I mean what the fuk? He had to hit the road. No transactions done in my account and I will have to change every password I have online.

You guys need to watch some AFL football, those are some well rounded athletes, that run, tackle and handle the ball for an hour and a half

Yes im an aussie

[VTranX]

i nevr really liked soccer, but one goal is worth alot in these games and any team can score.

[joe91091]

exactly and thats why ALL people who only watch the world cup cause of betting instead of being true fans of sports are saying that this world cup sucks

Couldn't have said it any better
