Do you think that players should be forbidden to have sex during the game on FIFA 2006?

Wait...I never understood this concept.  I guess if I'm busy enough, I won't think about it.  Wait, I go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it.  Is there a psychological difference between not having that and self....satisfaction during a month's time?  I doubt it.  Isn't getting it one of the best stress relievers?  Plus, if Posh wants some....is Becks going to deny her?  I WOULDN'T!!!!!

Well I wouldn't want them to be sleeping around either. And if they had no one at all they would be too horny to focus on the game and they wouldn't play so well.\nSo it's good thing for football they DO have girlfriends!

I certianly agree there have been some embarrasing performances or calls by the ref.  USA-ITA, USA-GHA, TUN-UKR, AUS-CRO, NED-POR, ITA-AUS are just some of them.  However, on the whole, the refs have been ok.  The bad calls receive more attention than the good ones for obvious reasons.  I think the main problem is FIFA's attitude coming into the tournament.  Yellow Cards are meant to let players know that their action was not acceptable, and if seen again they will be gone, and should be used after the Ref has already warned the player.  Red Cards are for extremely vicous fouls.  Of course, pk's and offsides will just be called wrong sometimes, and thats bound to happen, but hopefully the cards will be better next time around, I dont think theres anyway to save face this time.

can you just for one minute not look at men as objects of desire. They are professional footballers. It must be very hard for them to know you are just oogleing at them when you're meant to be watching football. Leave the poor sods alone we don't need this in football, you'ill give them all complexes. THEY DESERVE RESPECT\n\n\nhow do put emphasis on scarcasm "skunk" there's a bit of irony there for you, you didn't spot it.

Yes, and with hefty monetery penalties. Check Article 65 of the FIFA disciplinary code (FDC)http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/do/den.pdf\nThis is a football game not a boxing match.

FIFA is completly against the video tape, they belive it will break the action of the game.\nHowever i think another referee like behing the goal will be good.

Yes, I tottaly agree with you and I think that FIFA should let Deco play because the first yellow he got was simply redeculus by the Referee. He did that only because the Portuguese didnot give the possesion back to them.

A zapper gun which would instantly wipe out the divers --- without them and the shirt pullers and the defenders who actually stand with their arms around the opposition at corners etc the game would be a lot better.\nSeriously---- why does FIFA not take action on these points. At present cheaters are being rewarded

You know, this , besides the refereeing is becoming what the tournament is all about and will be remembered for. It should not be seen as an acceptable part of the game. I do not see it as creating opportunities. I see it as cheating also. If you can not win with skill and talent then perhaps they need to rethink their careers. It is spoiling games as it happens with increasing frequency.\n\nAs for FIFA crunching down that just a line they feed fans and media to keep them happy. They are too politically inclined to do anything serious about this problem. Big name teams make them big big dollars. Do you really think they are concerned.\n\nAnd the referee's, well if they have not got the experience and common sense to see it and not fall for it, as we are seeing, the game will suffer. It would be good if they could implement a sin bin for these offences. Officials can monitor and control that without any fuss. If they had to sit off for 5 or 10 minutes, I bet you would see a huge reduction in these incidences and penalties can once again be awarded for real rule breaches. Tradition is great and important but some modern changes need to be implemented. This (the sin bin) would not involve to much of a change to upset those that don't want technology brought into the game. The only down side is the referee still has to have the sense to call a real dive from a fall or challenge.

Not at all. There aren't arguments for such a decision.\nThe referee will remember last night as a nightmare in his career. Player could be wooed for they risky fouls, diving, and so on. Coaches wasn't of great help (and they too were technically wrong: Scolari must remove Costinha after the first red card, Van Basten should have put Van Nistelrooj in the struggle - or Van Der Vaart, before the near-end of the match).\nMany disaster, no one of them need to replay the game.

I like the idea of a sinbin. Imagine some cheating player having to watch his team lose without him beacause he's been a cheaty naughty boy. the level of sportsmanship is generally deplorable, but there are exceptions, eg, gerrard.

No way, the games are long enough! I think that would change the dynamic of the game too much, but I do think it needs to be in football!

Dont fine them, dont penalise them, Just get rid of the XXXXXX's out of the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nAfter the match locate who is and then suspend them for the tournament. They do not have right to play the game any more...They are cheats.... Liars and   XXXXX no place for them...Make the penalty worth while and players will think twice before trying to cheat again.

I think Alessandro Del Piero is damn sexy, has made this heart melt since the 2002 WC and also Tim Cahill from the Socceroo's. Hey girls just because we can have a bit of fun in the sexy man stakes doesn't mean we know nothing about the game. We just have the extra bonus of watching hundreds of gorgeous guys ply their trade as well as the enjoyment of the game...lol.

Roman - russian gagster? thats cool. I agree with you. In the pitch the players do act as unruly rich kids who own the game and can do and say anything that they like at any time. Jose likes attention and can do anything to get it. In all post match reviews he says the same thing - 'the referee was hostile and his sweet shy cudly boys were wrongfully targeted'. so what if Drogba and Robben treats the pitch as a swimming pool and dives deep down without any assistance from the opposite defenders. (they could have won olympic gold medals in diving and accolades for their oscar winning performances in front of the officials- you have to give them that) so what if Essien practices Muy Thai moves in the pitch or Ricardo trying hard to send someone to the hospital for good- they are just little innocent kids. All these needs hard training and who better to give them that other than THE MASTER - JOSE MOURINHO.

There is a difference between when a player going to ground when there has been zero contact (eg. Arsenal's Robert Pires against Portsmouth last season)and when a player is nudged/tripped/leant-into/had his shirt pulled and he decides to make the most of it (eg. England's Michael Owen against Argentina in World Cup 98).\n\nThe former can be classed as 'diving' and the latter as 'over-reacting'.\n\nMost would argue that this is a problem in the modern game - simply because it's irritating to see. Diving will continue to be rife until the day FIFA give referees a zero-tolerance mandate to clamp down on this kind of thing. \n\nUntil players realise that they'll get a red card for diving, there will be no incentive for them to stop.

None, FIFA rules were explicit, only 23 players for team, no more and no less, thats why teams like Spain, Argentina, Netherlands, Mexico and others had some problems because they didnt called all of their players and they had to keep some good players at home
