Someone standing on your foot doesnt make you fly three foot in the air. Of course it doesn't but if he didn't dive he wouldn't have got a penalty Fairly certain in that situation, with the ref having the viewpoint he had, he'd have gotten the pen if he'd fallen like a normal person as well.

In this hypothetical scenario I'd still take the high road and feel any win through cheating would tarnish the glory. That said I'd probably still be celebrating.

If you were sniped you'd just fall down like a sack of potatoes. You'd not throw yourself around like a tart.

On a free as well. Mike gusta.

2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil™ - Just gets hotter and hotter

He has to be fair. Especially when you consider he's been targeted a considerable amount. Chile got stuck right into him yesterday. Talking to The Butcher of Ålgard here. If the leg isn't snapped in two, they're diving.

I wasn't saying the English didn't invent/perfect the modern game, man. I was just saying it's not right thinking the English were the first ones to think "hey, let's invent a sport where we kick a ball into a goal". The English themselves got the early versions of ball games from other places in the world, but football as we know it today is because of the English perfection of said games.

However it seems your facts are correct whereas my assumptions aren't. However my point of English folk founding clubs all over the world is correct. We did take the game to the world. Don't think anyone is disputing the fact the English made the game as popular across the world as it is today, or that it deserves to host the WC again ahead of the likes of fucking Russia.

No they didn't. Kicking a ball about is not football, it's kicking a ball about. Just like how having a scrap outside of a cave 4000 years ago wasn't boxing. When you wouldn't have modern day football without these "kickabouts" it clearly evolves from them. Calcio Fiorentino for instance had two goals, a pitch the size of around a normal football pitch, but 27 players on each team. These early variations mean as much for the modern game of football, perfected by the English in the 18th century, as our monkey ancestors matter in regards to what makes us human. It's not the same species/sport today, but we'd not be the same without them.

They played a variation of football in China 2000 years ago, man, as well as tons of other cases all over the world. England invented the modern day rules in the 18th century and popularized it. I wouldn't say they invented football, but they created the football we know today due to their rules being brought all over the world due to imperialism.

The English modernised the sport and gave it some official rules, so in that sense they "invented" it. Been played in uncivilized forms for pretty much thousands of years though.

Wat.

Am I right in thinking that the Pards photo has been bought and that if it's not selected as the booby price TayTay will have to keep it all to himself?

Try and Hoover up as many free bets as u can I could do this, but what I was thinking is that I might just put lots more money in my bet365 account and then bet it all away. This is what I do all the time to great success.

Also, why no Mix instead of Bedoya? Fuck off with that sub.

No. Would've won this group with Donovan. Wearing my US Donovan shirt for the rest of the WC now in silent sympathy for Mr. US Soccer.

Well with England devastated, it's us or no one. http://replygif.net/i/423.gif

Cheeky £10 on the US. Cheeky £100 on a US - Nazi draw.

Guy from my hometown had £10 on that, made £1750.

Chilling out on page four, Captain Shola leading me valiantly towards my booby price.

Third tier. Bitch, I might be. fyp

If things remain as they are I was only one goal by Chile away from a semi-Pata Someone please score one more so it'll not have mattered anyway. Come on.

Blatant the lack of Donovan made the Portoguese equalize. Though really I blame it on Michael Bradley who had been absolutely brilliant up until that moment. Can't even imagine how it must feel for the actual Americans on here considering just how gutted I felt as a US sympathizer.
