What does 'cup tied' mean?
107864
Cup-tied is an adjective, used primarily in football (soccer), used to describe a player who is ineligible to play in a knockout cup competition after transferring from another club during that competition.\n\nIn virtually all domestic and international cup competitions, any player who makes an appearance for a club at any stage of the competition is "tied" to that club for all future matches during that season in the same competition. This prevents a strong team from gaining an unfair advantage by signing a talented player from a club that has lost in an earlier round. A team that wishes to transfer a player may deliberately choose to keep that player off its cup roster to ensure that he is not cup-tied, increasing his usefulness to a club that may be involved in the same competition. A recent example of this was Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez' decision to keep Milan Baroš off Liverpool's roster for their 2005-06 UEFA Champions League ties in order to retain his value to clubs interested in purchasing the Czech striker's services. (Baroš eventually moved to Aston Villa, which was not involved in the Champions League.) Similarly, although far less often, a team may deliberately cup-tie a player to discourage a transfer during that season. Note, however, that this does not restrict most international transfers; cup-tying is only an issue internationally if both teams involved in the transfer have participated in a continental cup competition such as the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup.

In all sports could exist a tie, it depends of the system of play choosen for the tournament:\n# If it is the league system, then you could have matches ending in ties.\n# If it is the knock-out system, then you would always have a winner and a loser.\n\nFor the Fifa World cup, they use both system:\n# First round is played by the league system\n# The round of sixteen, quarterfinals, semifinals, play-off for third place and final will all be played in accordance with the knock-out system\n\nFYI: there is no ties in baseball because they play under the knock-out system.

I have never heard this phrase before, so this is a total guess:\n\nThe coffee cup has no legs, so obviously it's not very mobile.  However, even though a three-legged bird has legs, it's not mobile either because the three legs can't get working together properly.  So, I think this phrase means something like, overkill is sometimes worse than not having enough.

It represents sportsmanship, and respect.  It is usually more common to see in the World cup, It is a souvenir.  It is not forced to do it, it is up to the players, not all exchange jersey's at times.  It is usually done at the end of the game as to congratulate each other for their efforts.

This is a tradition that dates back to the medieval ages where often times a jewel laden chalice was part of the bounty that a contestant would win. The Stanley Cup is no different. As is typical in most other sports, a champagne, beer or some other beverage was shared by the winning team. Therefore a cup is placed on top of the trophy, and the victors partake of The spoils.

There had been two cups used in the world cup. the first was called the Jules Rimet Trophy and used between the 1930 and 1970 world cup. After Brazil won the World cup for 3 times against 2 times winners Italy in 1970, Brazil kept the cup permanently. Sadly, the cup was stolen while on display in Brazil and was never recovered, a replica was made.\n\nSince 1974, a new cup (the one we see now) was made and FIFA states that this cup cannot be won outright.\n\nThe old cup had been changed 5 times (Brazil, Uruguay, England, Italy and (West) Germany)\nThe new cup had been changed also 5 times (Brazil, France, (West) Germany, Italy and Argentina)

The first round is the only round where there could be a tie, this is because the system of play will be the league system, each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group, with three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.\nBut the round of sixteen, quarterfinals, semifinals, play-off for third place and final will all be played in accordance with the knock-out system. That means, that if after 90 minutes, a match ends in a draw, extra time of twice 15 minutes will be played. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks will be taken to determine the winner.\n\nUNTIE THE TIE OF THE FIRST ROUND:\nThe ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:\na) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;\nb) goal difference in all group matches;\nc) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.\nIf two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,their rankings will be determined as follows:\nd) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;\ne) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;\nf) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;\ng) drawing of lots by the Organising Committee for the FIFA World Cup
