SAID IN A POST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
WORLD CUP FOOTBALL [SOCCER] I WOULD SAY NOTHING ELSE UNTIL THE FINAL. BUT AS I'M WATCHING MOST OF THE GAMES TO THE QUARTER FINALS [ACTUALLY MISSED THE BELGIUM/USA GAME]. JUST HAVE TO COMMENT ONCE MORE, ESPECIALLY FOR CHRISTIAN PARENTS WHO MAY HAVE CHILDREN WANTING TO PLAY SOCCER.... IT'S THINK TWICE.
FOR THE FOULS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE IT SEEMS WITH EACH KNOCK-OUT ROUND....LOOK AT THE FOULS BELOW FOR THE BELGIUM VERSES USA GAME.
I SAW TWO GAMES WHERE A PULL ON THE SHIRT OF SOMEONE SO THEY COULD NOT GO FORWARD WITH THE BALL. THE VIDEO ZEROED RIGHT IN AND THEY WERE INDEED DELIBERATE "GRAB THE SHIRT" PULLS-BACKS. THEN YOU HAVE ALL THE FOULS, TEAMS GETTING FREE KICKS IT SEEMS EVER FEW MINUTES. BRUTAL FOULS.
IT IS A GAUGE AS TO WHERE THE CARNAL MIND HAS GONE TO IN FOOTBALL/SOCCER - IT IS WIN AT ALL COSTS ATTITUDE. THE BEAUTIFUL GAME THEY LIKE TO CALL IT, IS NOT SO AT ALL. THEY SHOULD CALL IT "FOOTBALL FOUL FOLLY." YOU COMPARE RUGBY PLAYED WITH NO PADS, AND YOU DO NOT GET THOSE DELIBERATE FOULS ON THE LEGS, THE DELIBERATE PUSHES, THE DELIBERATE ARMS FLYING EVERYWHERE, TO DELIBERATELY FOUL. YES THERE IS A TOUGHNESS TO RUGBY, BUT SOCCER HAS HIT THE ROOF WITH DELIBERATE HARD FOULS AND THE SHIRT GRABBING AND PUSHING, IT IS JUST CARNAL UN-SPORTSMANSHIP......JUST PURE UN-SPORTSMANSHIP.
THE BELGIUM VERSES USA WAS 27 FOULS FOR BELGIUM AND 11 FOR USA.
THE LAST WORLD CUP FINAL WAS TERRIBLE AND MORE TERRIBLE FOR FOULS, JUST MADE ME SICK TO WATCH IT.
WILL BE SURPRISED IF THE COMING FINAL IS ANY BETTER THAN 4 YEARS AGO. WE WILL SEE.
