Number of things to add.

1.) I played a little American Football at Uni, and I have played a lot of Rugby. American Football hurts lot more. In Rugby you expect a tackle too but in American Football you turn round to a fat ass who knocks you clean out.

2.) DMW you're post was funny. Bigger nets, ok.

3.) You're ideas behind the penalty shootout are flawed. Yes penalties is pot luck but so is sudden death. I think it was Euro 96 which had sudden death 'golden goal' extra time. Croatia were attacking trying to win the game against Germans who sat on their ass and then caught them on the break with a flukey goal. Thats why UEFA and FIFA got rid of Golden Goal Extra Time, because it was just a random as penalties.

4.) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A DRAW. Some fo the best games of football you will ever see are draws.

5.) I hate diving and it ruined the world cup and yes even though I hate the bloke you will never see Rooney take a dive (although he did take one against Arsenal last season but one in 4 seasons isn't bad.) Rooney could have gone down seconds before he got sent off but he tried to stay up. Shame really. Cristiano Ronaldo will be a hate figure and never play in the UK again, good riddance.
