Topic: World Cup

[Clive]

I just watched the Urugay v Italy game. Good win for Uruguay - I thought that Suarez had lost his appetite for the game! How wrong could I be?

Correct board, correct message, wrong header.   

Is it any betterer now?   

[Simon]

The trouble is, as soon as I hear the words 'world' and 'cup' together, I just switch off.  But I did hear that one guy bit another.   

[Clive]

A bit like Silence of the Lambs.   

[Simon]

Great film. 

[Clive]

A four month ban!  What's the point of that?   

[Simon]

What's the point of anything where football is concerned?

I assume that you don't understand or watch football Simon. 

Although a player is caught out kicking/biting/butting another player I think that the punishment should be confined to were the player committed it. If he was playing for his country then it should be an international ban and not a club ban. After all that's how it is the other way around. If a player has a club ban he can still play for his country. If I owned a football club I would be reluctant to let a player play for his country in case he got sent off and then got banned for the club costing me money and maybe losing out on the league.  ':|
