@dazhuchison@RedFan1965 Lol you don't know rule either...attacker is offside if he goes ahead of the 2nd last defending player when ball played forward. Nothing to do with the goalkeeper. Goalkeepers are counted as defenders when it comes to offside rule.
@jmhorp We are founding members of uefa and an early member of fifa. Other nations that have their own teams but arent independent:
Kosovo
Faroe Islands
Curacao
@talkSPORT People from countries of the "Big 5", especially England are incapable of seeing past there own microcosm of "the greatest league in the world" and everything else is shit. There are still people out there who enjoy football for what it is supposed to be.
@talkSPORT What's unbearable is hearing "1966" mentioned every tournament. The arogance is astounding. In a world where football has been ruined by money, the World Cup seems to be last big tournament where u see great things. 1 of the joys is seeing teams and players youve never heard of..
Hydration break is so wank. All momentum lost and just ruins the viewing spectacle...hopefully doesnt become a habit at future world cups. It's just americanisation allowing comericials to be played as much as possible. Another example of greed ruining the game.
