Somebody had 8 to 5 on the other team, I’m guessing.

It will be another Killing Fields if Obama gets his way.

That’s because scoring is illegal in soccer.

That makes the game a lot more interesting. We should try it with the NBA.

I am certain that based on what we know about islam that’s it’s OK in the koran somewhere.
That they didn’t also go to the dead mans house, rape and behead his daughters, shows that we are making inroads.

Sounds to me like our Publik Skools playing game with no score kept.
This poor guy was probably a Sunni playing against a bunch of Shiites.

So, under Iraqi rules does that constitute a yellow card or a red card?
To: theruleshavechanged
One of the fans shot him? I thought only the goalie was allowed to shoot an attacker.

Thats because scoring is illegal in soccer.Professional soccer matches average over 3 goals per game. That translates to over 21 points per game in American Football terms. That's not so bad, is it?

Though not technically against the rules — I would suppose that’s a foul.
Penalty kicks? Red card?

For the record 14 - 7 game is incredibly boring.
More closely aligned would be a 6-3 game - which is a bore fest of Chicagoan proportions.

I think it was in Croatia a guy shot the ball as it was rolling towards the net...One hell of a shot. Anyway he got three months jail time but was considered a hero by the fans. The opposing team did not get the goal because the ball deflated before it crossed the line. I read about this in a book which explains the rules about soccer. Maybe someone else read the same thing.
