- no comparison between NFL football and soccer...because in the NFL offense and defense are different units - Stewie Jun 28, 13:32
- Well, if you're going to play defense, it's usually not a good idea to kick the ball right back to the other side. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:28 11
  - people make minor errors when they are tired -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 28, 13:31 10
    - When the other team is better than you, giving them at worst a 50/50 chance to get possession to prove they're better is just dumb. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:32 9
      - well a goalie certainly looks more stupid trowing the ball to his own defender - Danedukenuuk Jun 28, 13:37
      - it was the better team basically playing keep away, not the worse team. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 28, 13:33 7
        
        We musta seen different games. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:35 6
        
        the last 10 mins of the game was brazil playing keep away from the US - tRuMaN Jun 28, 13:40 5
        
        i havent seen it yet...wait 40 min :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 28, 13:42
        
        When they had a lead with 7 minutes left? They *STILL* had more shots toward goal in that timeframe then the US. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:42 3
        
        which is the complaint I had about prevent soccer -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 28, 13:43 2

        Something doesn't quite compute here. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 13:46
- it's a strategy often used in soccer when a lesser team is playing an obvious better one. It happens all the time in the EPL -- nm - CQ Jun 28, 13:24 3
  - it's the only way often you got to rememeber there are no timeouts in football - Danedukenuuk Jun 28, 13:27 2

      - and thats why we love teams like Barca and ManU - Danedukenuuk Jun 28, 13:32

I'm looking for a screenplay online�Hitchcock's 1941 comedy, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (scr: Norman Krasna). Suggestions on where... - second gary Jun 28, 13:15 3
- old scripts like that are rarely online unless it's a well-known classic like Casablanca or Citizen Kane -- nm - dug Jun 28, 13:16 2
  - also, because the screenplay style was so different then, i don't find them as helpful as contemporary scripts - dug Jun 28, 13:25 1
    - Thanks; I saw it last night on TCM, and I hadn't known of it (a pseudo-screwball comedy of re-marriage directed by Hitchcock). - second gary Jun 28, 13:41

They're giving Brazil too many chances this half. Poor ball control. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 13:01 2
- they're falling back on purpose, Brazil has to be careful of a counter attack like the us's second goal -- nm - CQ Jun 28, 13:02 1
  - well,maybe not, heh -- nm - CQ Jun 28, 13:03
