    6 reason soccer sucks.

    I skipped none of your commentary. In fact I have actually re-read your posts in this thread a few times. Your arguments against a referee challenge rule are: It could be abused. It doesn't address all situations. It doesn't fit with the rhythm, timing and traditions of the game. I am too...

    6 reason soccer sucks.

    Who insulted who here? Go back and read your own posts...which one of us is calling people idiots, stupid and making other personal attacks? You have no idea how long I have followed soccer, but it's a hell of a lot longer than the last two weeks - more like 15 years (1994 World Cup in US...

    6 reason soccer sucks.

    6 reason soccer sucks.

    False. Period. In the time it took to get the ball out of the Slovenian goal back to the point of infraction for the free kick, play was stopped, the momentum was broken, and a review could have been conducted. You can't stop the game to conduct instant replay, quite simply because the old...

    6 reason soccer sucks.

    Come on, does anyone really think our opinion on ATOT has any impact? We're just spitballing here. All centered basically around "No one is willing to consider improving the quality of the sport." There is nothing that can't be legislated appropriately if participants are willing to...

    6 reason soccer sucks.

    Who said it was a point of contention? There were other officiating f-ups than the England/Germany game. It's not just enough to be able to know whether the ball has crossed the goal line - it is also necessary to be able to challenge the referee if he mistakenly overturns a goal (e.g. offside).

    Do Kix taste sweet to anybody else?

    It does not say anywhere "no added sugar" and the ingredients corroborate the addition of sugar.

    Talk to me about Tea.

    Some teas are better with cream and/or sweetener. If you are not sure which, perhaps you should broaden your tea-drinking horizons.

    Traffic Cameras/Car Registration
