I am on an English board pretty regularly - they ***** and moan about the style of football that England are playing (lots of sideways and backwards passing).
Almost every idea expressed here has been talked about to death on non American based forums.
I don't think soccer fans want anything that feels artificial just to increase scoring.
Yeah I just came in here to ask about this.
Yeah... that's still a horrible explanation.
There is no real explanation.
Can be I agree. I still think these tournaments have had very little attacking. Shots are fun. Saves are fun. Chances are fun. Games that are high in those things but low in goals are fun. You wont turn on any club match in the top 5 leagues and watch both teams bunker at the same time like this.
𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: UEFA are now reviewing the decision to appoint Felix Zwayer as referee for the England-Netherlands match, amid concerns within the governing body.Zwayer has previously been banned from football for accepting a €300 bribe to match-fix in 2005.

Need a separate line for "OWN GOAL"
Am I missing something in this discussion? Most "tactical fouls" that stop a counter or possible goal scoring are carded. And most of the time people like JP and Landon incorrectly use the term "tactical fouls" to make themselves seems smarter and portray the offender as "knowing what he is doing". A blatant foul deep in the other team's half really isn't a tactical one. I don't care if this is booked or not. In most cases.
They've barely called most of what you call tactical fouls as fouls, let alone carded them. It's been consistently terrible.
If you are talking Copa, then they have barely called any fouls. Except against Uruguay. Who seems to simply escape booking.
I have nothing against any for the last 4 teams. Would like good games and can watch as a neutral.Feels like whoever wins today will play England in the final. People will moan about how boring England has played but yet they would be in another final. I'll be rooting for whoever wins tomorrow in the final but hoping England take it so people in this thread will lose their minds.
If the guy is clear and will be leading a counterattack the other way it's a tactical foul. It's reffed like you describe (usually), but it should be an auto yellow. Those even strength (or odd number) breaks are great scoring chances (in the context of a normal possession).
Yeah, any combination would be worthy final IMO. Just want a good game.
Cynical, negative England vs the same in France wouldn't be great.
Is this a typo, or is it actually a thing?
Yeah. You know when things are so crazy, you get your thoughts trapped, like in a bottle.
I read earlier that he is playing
How dare you put the Kings of CONCACAF in with that lot.
Might be worth having a quick look see around the toilet stall in the lobby. Who knows what those Colombians left behind.
I wasn't necessarily even pulling for Spain at the time, but I'm still mad about that. Not as mad as I am about Hugh Dallas not knowing what a hand ball was (22 years ago, you'd think I could let go), but close. Obscene. Thank god Spain won.
and yet they are up 1-0 after only 8 minutes.
