It's more fun to have two teams! Dare I say.. double teaming?
*awaits rimshot*
careful combining "double teaming" and "rimshot" in a post...
No, that's "rimjob."
...and I just... /me shudders.
i love when people fall for that

Okay, in hockey, it's the blue line that determines offsides.
In soccer, there's the two defense guys. They're like a mobile blue line. If the offensive team passes to itself past the line of the two defense guys, that's offsides. And stuff.
Maybe a real football fanatic could explain better but that's how I learned it when I played briefly as a kid.
Also, I knew *exactly* what I was saying, Lego. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Offside is the most complicated rule in football, and it isn't even that complicated once you get the hang off.
It was created to prevent offensive players to wait for the ball next to the goalkeeper. Basically, you are in an offside position if there are no defensive players between you and the goalkeeper (or the goal if the goalkeeper left his position) when a pass is made.
It has gotten a little complicated over time. Because teams started to abuse this rule (with a strategy called offside trap), offside offenses were changed. You can now wait for the ball in an offside position as long as the ball isn't passed to you, but to a player not in offside position. This has made offside traps more risky to use, but often makes up for poor referee calls as well.
well serbia lost 2 to 3... at least we scored a damn point. Looking at the standings it looks like i'll be rooting for the Ukraine in the next round.

Tell me about it...the entire country (well, those who stayed up till 3am to watch it) are shattered. Control the game against world class opposition for the entire match (except we couldn't quite manage a goal) then give away a penalty kick in the dying seconds BECAUSE THE BLOKE TOOK A DIVE!!
Not to worry. We were up against dodgy refs most of the tournament and came through despite it all. Couldn't be prouder of the Socceroos.
They'll have to take us more seriously next time.
Dunno who to watch (through news footage during the day at least) now that the Dutch were kicked out in that free for all against Portugal. Heh...that was a decent little scrap!
Remember when your imagination was real? When the day seemed
longer than it was, and tomorrow was always another game away?
Man, playing soccer is somewhat fun, but watching it?
Good god. The players endlessly run up and down the field, and almost never score. It's like watching somebody painting... and repeatedly missing the wall.
I think I actually ticked off some people during the short span in which I played soccer. I was scoring multiple goals as a midfielder because I'd keep running up and shooting with the backside of my foot away from where I was looking and apparently aiming. That like always fooled the goalie, lol.
Oh, and since I saw baseball mentioned, go Rockies go!
