Exactly, it's done in the moment and it's hardly offensive it is? I always remember Giggs great FA Cup goal. Not exactly what I want to see very often, but offensive? Not at all.

I've always wondered this too, I mean players swap shirts at the end of the match right and plenty just put them on their shoulder and don't have an undershirt on so why wouldn't that be offensive too to the supposed countries?! Why don't they get booked then? That rule has so many flaws. |

Exactly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think it's one of the most stupid rules ever. Maybe UEFA thinks people turn off the TVs as soon as the match is over. Even if players don't take their shirts off after scoring, they almost always do at the end of the match, as you mentioned. And the worst bit is that the pathetic media is mum on this matter.

QUOTE Fifa vice-president Jack Warner has resigned, world football's governing body has confirmed. "As a consequence of Mr Warner's resignation, all ethics committee procedures against him have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained," said a Fifa statement. Warner was suspended pending an investigation into bribery allegations. He and fellow Fifa member Mohamed Bin Hammam are alleged to have paid bribes of £600,000 to Caribbean associations. FIFA are pathetic, especially the bold bit. So because he's resigned, you're not going to look into these bribes anymore and will just assume he's innocent? What a joke. No more Jack Warner though, that's one step in the right direction. |

I'd be bad even if that sentence had ended at "... have been closed"...

But that happens in these organizations, you resign means they no longer can question you about allegations. And since it is an internal investigation, its over the day he handed in his resignation. What should happen is FIFA raising this matter to external investigation bodies .. But we all know why FIFA doesn't like opening up its closets to strangers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif) One step to the right direction? really!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

True, even though Warner was one of the worst, even at FIFA, someone else will take his place soon.
And the ethics committee is the biggest joke of an anti-corruption body in the history of all organization ever! But I guess the "FIFA family" doesn't care much... |

Just curious: Does anyone even know that the FIFA Women WC cup started on Sunday? It's quite a big thing here in Germany (we're the hosts and the super-top favorites). TV-ratings are almost as those of the men. Quite interesting this hype.

Yap. And she's quite a beautyful girl. Still surpirsed by the TV ratings. 15 million people watched the opening match. Never thought people would be that interested in women playing football.

USA and Germany are looking quite good teams. Canada had one hell of a striker with long black hair. Her name is Jonelle FILIGNO.
