Recap...
As with the tradition of the Olympics the WC purpose is to bring
nations together in single sports contest...Soccer. For much
of the world this is the case. It is unfortunate that exaggerated nationalism, insecurity, prejudice, and ignorance still exist, therefore, occasionally influencing this well loved sport negatively...
Yet, the best final match in the last 3.
RECAP WC 98, IMO
Biggest surprise: Croatia to third place
Biggest disappointment: Spain, Nigeria, Romania
Too many: Red cards, yellow cards, dives
Not playing to talent level: Brazil and Netherlands in their
final games.
Teams to watch in future: England, France
Exiting players(3 only):Owen, Ortega, Chilavert
Changes
1. No golden goal... two 15 minute halves,
2. Instead of normal red card...player leaves...team plays with
10 men for 10-15 minutes and can bring back another (11th) player.
3. LeBlanc Rule - what a pity he had to miss the dream of a lifetime!!! WC final and your team wins at home!!!!
Video review fouls before red card bans player from following game.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FRENCH SOCCER TEAM!!!
Any comments???
