Sorry folks, I do not like Soccer/Football. Then again I do not like most sports, except basket ball. There are just more points per game and no ties.

To be honest, that's one of the reasons I don't enjoy basketball. I like how you get occasional goals in soccer, so it adds to the suspense of the game. That's just my opinion. :|


And most of all, no ties!!! There has to be a winner in a game, otherwise what is the point of the game?

Imagine if you will, you just watched a soccer game and there was no score or 1 to 1. Instead of a tie, you put another 10 minutes on the clock. What, still no winner, another 10 minutes. Eventually someone will break the tie and win.

I don't really like Soccer/Football/Futbol very much becuase I'm not a big fan of 0-0 ties.

Nah, doesn't work like that.

And what if after the first "extra 10 min" there's still no goal, should we keep adding extra-times forever?? This will only over-fatigate the players (what can lead to injuries) and the fans. Having ties is part of the game, and in the end, only one team wins the championship anyway. Many times, a tie is like a victory to a team, and a loss to another - that depends on the number of total points the teams scored (a victory is worth 3 points in the scorecard, a tie 1 point, and nothing if you lost), number of goals scored in the matches and other factors.

My bet for finalists:
Brazil :roll: (the "Seleção" plays on Tuesday!), Italy, Germany (as usual, the teams with big legacies :wink: )

USA may go to the second-phase, let's see...
I'm curious about Holand and Spain (though I think Spain is so overrated...)

That's the way it should be. If you can't win in the alloted amount of time, then you don't deserve a win, you have only earned a draw. :D

Maybe take a page from Hockey, One sudden death overtime period, and then a shootout which they do anyway in qualifiers if I'm not mistaken?

They only allow draws in the group phase of the tournament, where the top two from each group, go on to the knockout phase. When they play to a result, in that if the teams are level after normal time, they play 30 mins. extra time and if the teams are still level after that, they have a penalty shoot out, until a winner is decided.

A good win for the Germans there, 4-0 they look powerful but I have seen better Aussie teams in the past.

I am going to watch as much as I can. As of now I think that either Germany or Spain are going to take it, or maybe Argentina they are looking good. I think that England, in spite of the great team they have now (why isn't Joe Hart playing in the goal), are going to choke on it (sadly like always since 1966). :roll:

I really hate the French team right now. I just don't think they deserve to be there. They played horribly in the qualifying rounds and if it wouldn't for Thierry Handy... sorry Henry... no I am sticking on Handy :D France wouldn't be in South Africa now. IMHO Ireland deserves to be there. :evil:

Isn't that also a test of an athlete...endurance. I say may the best team win. But like I stated I do not like the game because the potiential for a stalemate.

And yes if I could change the rules to soccer/football in an international level, NO TIES. Then it would be worth watching. Until there is a winner or enough people collapse from exhaustion that that team has to forfiet, either way a definative winner would prevail.
