Who wants to learn... Soccer.......... Stewart75: Good question Stewart........... of course I can............... Would you like a quick concise answer...... or an answer that has plenty of drawn-out 'Googled' crap.......... with long-winded You-Tube vids....?................. Stewart75: Yeah, Spud Shas............ she always follows me around asking Soccer questions......... .............. let me answer your question first though Stew............ Put simply.......... the offside rule is as follows.......... When a ball is passed........ and the person who is to receive the ball is standing forward of the last defender....... that person is then said to be offside............. BTW: Last defender not being the goalkeeper........ and you can't be offside in your own half........... Stewart75: No probZ Stew............. are you happy with that explanation............. or would you like me to include plenty of drawn-out 'Googled' crap.......... together with long-winded You-Tube vids....?................. Stewart75: Question to Stewart: In your opinion, who is/was the best Soccer player ever...?............. Stewart75: Another very good question Stewart........... ............... shit man............ there's been so many................. Let me get back to you on this one........... Stewart75: After giving much thought to your question Stewart....... these would be my top three.... Lionel Messi (Argentina) Diego Maradona (Argentina) Thierry Henry (France) ..... in no particular order...... I'd like to include Australians like; Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka (who both played for Leeds United of course)....... and Englishmen such as; Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney......... ........ though they're not in the same class as; Messi, Maradona & Henry............. . Stewart75: Thanks for that Stewart..... though it appears a couple of members don't agree with your thoughts on having Diego Maradona in your top three list.............. Why is that Stewart...?..................... Stewart75: Okay...... I listed what I figure to be the 'best' three..... as that was your question Stewart....... I never said these three were the 'fairest' three............. Diego Maradona will aways be remembered for his ‘Hand of God’ incident that knocked England out of the World Cup finals in 1986..... however who can ever forget Thierry Henry’s blatant hand ball that knocked Ireland out the World Cup qualifiers in 2010......... That game should have been replayed.... those that saw it..... remember it, and know it..... sad day for the Irish........ though an even sadder day for the country of France and its people....... As justice would have it....... France got knocked out in the first round of the Finals..... Both Diego Maradona and Thierry Henry are known cheats, no doubt about it..... though Lionel Messi has done his fair share of cheating also........ In fact, the whole game is full of cheats, from players to officials....... and those cheats mostly come from European countries such as; Spain, Italy & France...... and South American countries such as; Argentina, Brazil & Uruguay........... Maradona’s ‘hand of God’ incident (refer link below).......... Thierry Henry’s hand ball incident (refer link below).... ....... watch closely at about 0.40 to 0.55 seconds into the vid............ YouTube Edit: I'll post a vid on Messi's cheating laterZ.......... stay tuned....... (Edited by Stewart75) | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
