@MikeConti929@sportsandra Agreed. Already knew. Accepted. This loss was quick to accept. I can go to sleep easy knowing we have a good team. Just not a great. Yet.
@MikeConti929 Talking about that all night at the bar. It was obvious he wasn’t full 90 fit. The team reflected it. Hesitant. Thinking too much on the ball. They and Pulisic played their ass off. It’s still a game of inches. Richards plants his foot 1 inch sooner and that first goal is blocked
You would not want to watch a soccer game without offside. It’d be miserable to watch — hoofing the ball back and forth with both forwards and defenders camped in front of goal.
The offside rule was introduced to make the game more exciting and higher scoring, which it did.
@JoePatrick Somehow I’d love to tie in time wasting and embellishing and injuries and stoppage in general to this conversation. Imagine how much of the game you’d really have to break down to argue against Skip and Mike on this point.
@JoePatrick Who needs people for anything sport anymore? Let’s just replace the players with robots and program them to play the game perfectly. Program them to never miss. Never foul. We really don’t need drama let’s make everything black and white.
