Soccer questions
    #5735459 - 06/10/06 08:18 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

So what determines who gets into the "World Cup"?

Is it anything like American sports leagues? Do all these teams play an 82 game regular season followed by an elimination tournament? Do they trade players? What's the average career span of a soccer player? Who's the Michael Jordan of Soccer?

there's a tourney to get to the tourney that takes two years or something

players play for the team representing the country of their birth, there is no trading

michael jordan of soccer, probably pele
the best player in the world right now probably ronaldo

yeah theres like a world cup qualifer that goes on forever it seems like.. then it seems like every country with 12 men get into the cup.

as for trading players and stuff.. that doesnt happen.. its like the world baseball classic.. players play for their nationality.. and then resume play in their leagues.

and pele is def the michael jordan of soccer, ronaldo is the kobe bryant, and its looking like rhidino (spelling off) is the lebron james.. all brazian players mind ya

Interesting.

It seems like an interesting sport. Its foundation is kinda like hockey. A goal seems to be extremely rare in soccer for some reason despite the net being so huge.

So how does it go?

The two teams with the highest points go to the next round?

Then why count goals? Is that what it goes too in case of tie?

What if goals are tied too?

yeah sorry i avoided responding because honestly i dont know the answer.. i actually thought it was the 2 highest pts go.. then if there is a tie. whoever won the match between the 2 teams tied moves on, if those 2 teams (who tied in their match, and are tied for pts), then it goes to goals..

maybe lol

lol those Brits and their sports. I was watching soccer the other day and it was complete anarchy clock wise. The clock never stopped and the referee would add a minute here, a minute there whenver he wanted. There's also a rugby team called the Springboks, lol - named after a miniature antelope

At the end of both halves, the ref can add more play time, it's called over time. It just a way to compensate any stoppage, probably not accurate to the second, but contrary to stopping the clock, it's a way to put the players head into the game and not too much into the clock.

Yes, but in this world cup i think not all second teams on each group will go to next round. I'm not sure but i think only 2 second places will be out. It has to do with the number of groups, there's not place for everyone. In case of tie, goal average makes the decision.

Quote:

What if goals are tied too?




Yes, goals count (goal average) , but first there's a rule in case of tie in the classification: the result of the games with the tied team. Imagine that Mexico is tied with Portugal at the end of the playoff. First you have to see who won the game Mexico vs Portugal, who won gets first place or gets ahead of the other team. If that game resulted in a tie, you apply the goal average rule of all goals scored by both teams in the playoff.

http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/wc2006/schedule/schedule.html

Shows the tournament schedule of how it works.

In the first round the top two teams in every group proceed to the next round.

Also, if you come first in your group, this means you have a better chance because you get to play the team that came second in another group. For example:

GROUP A

1st place: Germany
2nd place: Poland

GROUP B

1st place: Sweden
2nd place: Portugal

So in the second round it would be Germany vs Portugal and Sweden vs Poland.

In the second round it is no longer points - it is elimination. So if you don't win the game, pack yer bags cause you're going home.
