should the question, 'Who Will win the World Cup' be banned already?

It should.  It's a silly question because the answer is pure speculation.  With football/soccer, fortunes change overnight and a team that may be a guaranteed win might lose for no apparent reason.  There's no way anyone can know who will win.  Plus, the question gets asked like five times a day and enough is enough.

Wait another week and it will probably be banned again so your question will be moot.

I couldn't agree with you more.  I mean, have you seen some of the screen names Yahoo allows the members to have?  That alone is enough to ban my kids from this and I haven't even started on some of the questions that get posted.  And who cares about being able to report something as abuse.  In a matter of seconds, inappropriate questions have already had their effect on kids probably on the site just looking for homework help.  Horrible.  Yahoo needs to install a language monitor so if a question has certain words, it is reviewed before it is posted.

Not England.\n\nI suppose the question should be 'Who will England blame for being knocked out of the World Cup. The manager, the Referee or the players?'

Regulations:\n\nNew regulations approved by FIFA last month, went into effect on Thursday and dictate that an "official or spectator behaving in a discriminatory or contemptuous manner (that) can be attributed to a certain team" could cost the team three points for a first offense, six for a second and relegation for further violations. (1)\n\nRules:\n\nNo significant changes, as it would be the use of television to clarify some referees' doubts during the game.\n\nBut these are new: referees at the World Cup will eject players who elbow or tackle recklessly. \n\nA meeting of the governing body's International Football Association Board also approved yellow cards for shirt-pulling or holding an opponent, as well as for playing the ball after the referee's whistle.

I totally agree Yahoo needs to get it S... together... With all the crap they allow to pass... Racist comments and personal attacks are ok just don't say Ball's! It's so stupid! but I have noticed that if you post a question that someone doesn't agree with all they have to do is complain and say it's not a question and yahoo will pull it even though it was a valid question.

I'm assuming that those staying in hotels in Germany for the world cup would on the whole be visitors to that country. I believe that as visitors choosing to visit another country we have an obligation to respect their laws and beliefs. We have no right to ask or expect another country to make changes for us because of our own beliefs. If we don't approve we have the choice not to go there. Bearing in mind there is no reference in your Q that infers that Muslims have asked for these changes. It may very well simply be a gesture of International etiquette so to avoid anything that may come about. Lets face it they are there to watch the best soccer the world and players have to offer, so lets just sit back and enjoy it and not turn a wonderful sporting event into a religious event. There is enough of that happening in the world already, don't you think?

I agree that more than one person should decide on the more controversial things but I think that to have 'lasers and more ' is a bit too, cameras yes. For example, some of the Korea vs European sides caused a lot of controversy over some dodgy offsides, not to mention that infamous 'Maradona hand-ball goal'  incident, all could be and have been clarified by the camera. However, soccer is a traditional sport and the humaness of the referee adds to the excitement. Sure, that recent game, I forget which, in which 7 or so yellow cards were handed out and not a single red card, even for the most abtruse tackles was rediculous but I would blame the standard of the referee rather than anything else. Many other referees could have done a better job, it all comes down to experiance. Do you really want a world where everything is controlled by computers and the slightest blow in the fuse could cancel a game? Also, it would completely destroy the chances of some of the poorer, but none the less deserving countries the chances of hosting the cup, restricting it only to places like USA, where the soccer isn't so good, or European countries, who have already hosted numerous times, etc. \n  Also, there are checks and balances, where we do have flag-men, who aide the ref. in his or her decisions, and there is a compensation system, where when Rivaldo got another player 'sent off' by simulation, he got a hefty fine when he was found out.\n\nAll in all, I would just employ the cameras a bit more, the rest I would leave the same.

YES...and let's not stop there...Figo should be suspended because a head butt is a red cardable offense (stupid ref just didn't see it so he couldn't justify it). Moreover, the Dutch should have been awarded a penalty shot in the game for the drop kick that their striker received in the box, but that was over-looked. All of you Portugal supporters should be thanking your lucky stars that Portugal is moving on with just two suspensions...oh and about Deco, FIFA told Portugal not to bother with the appeal because they won't do anything (probably because they are letting Figo get away with a dirty play) and somebody keep that cry-baby CRYNOLDO on the bench with his injury, the poor baby couldn't stop crying when he was taken out of the game...Hopefully England makes Portugal eat the ball Saturday to end the run of the luckiest team in the World Cup.

Well lets take a logical look at this.\nIf [Brazil] [Not] [Win] or [draw]\nThe use of [or] implies that for this statement to be true\neither brazil lose's the game or the game is a draw. Since a draw is impossible in the round of 16, Brazil must lose the game.\nThus Ghana must win.

Keep your head on, don't let you be impressed by those bad jokes. They're usual, especially if British press is involved. Remember the trick they deserve to Sven (linked)!!!\nNever trust a columnist!!!\nHaving own team criticized isn't fair, but, as Italian, I've seen something going really too far:\n\n"There was outrage in Italian newspapers on Wednesday after German news weekly Der Spiegel published a satirical World Cup-related column on its Web site about the Azzurri entitled `Oiled up and greasy' which referred to Italians as 'parasitical forms of life'. \n\nThe article was later withdrawn and an apology posted on the Web site but that didn't stop the daily La Stampa declaring - `Italian parasites - that is how Der Spiegel prepares for the semi-final'."\n\nSo, don't be in anger. Their is definitively a dirty job...

Doubtful.\nBased on World Cup history, it's unlikely for teams to rebound after such a thrashing.
