Why even play then? Ties have, no consequences?

Commie sport.

TERMS/LINGO/INSIDE JOKES

Soccer Terms

Pitch: The soccer field.

Kit: Uniform. Includes shirt, shorts, boots, socks, etc.

Stoppage Time / Injury Time: Since the upwards-counting clock constantly runs in soccer, time is not stopped for injuries or lengthy dead balls. At the end of the 45 minutes each half, the referee adds extra minutes to the clock to make up for lost time. This is not an exact time unlike other sports, and the end of the half is all up to the referee.

Offside: Not "offsides." No "s." A rather confusing rule for beginners. In the most basic terms, the receiver of a pass cannot be closer to the goal than the ball and the second-to-last defender (the goalkeeper usually is the last defender) when the ball is initially touched. The rule gets murky whenever you have to decide whether an offside player, even if the pass wasn't intended for him, is "actively involved" in the play.

Corner / Corner Kick: If the ball goes out of bounds past the goal line and the defending team was the last one to touch it, the offensive team gets to play it back into play by crossing the ball from the corner of the field. This is where you see headed goalscoring opportunities.

Cross: A lofted pass that usually goals toward the front of the goal for headers. Crosses are usually played from the wings.

Free Kick: Whenever a foul is committed outside the penalty box (more on that below), the team who was fouled restarts play by kicking the ball from the spot of the foul, without any defensive pressure on the kicker.

Penalty / Pen: Whenever a player is fouled inside the goalkeeper's 18-yard box or there is a handball call inside the 18-yard box, the offensive team is awarded a direct kick from 12 yards out, one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Tifo: Large fan displays before games. Usually a large sign, several large signs, or widespread card displays.

Man it sucks to tie like that.
Shoe on the other foot and we tie in the end, it is huge momentum.

I remember when I helped coach pee-wee football and the head coach called a timeout late in the 4th & wanted me to go out there and tell our players to let them score so we could get the ball back... I huddled up those little fckers and said, " LINK "

Anybody have a clue what is going on here?


Are there scenarios to be watched that would eliminate USA from the tournament?.....or scenarios that would get them in?
