yep sure is and the ref should have a microphone so any bad language is picked and the players should be shamed at same time....

I think that it is a great idea. Others may feel it is just another money making campaign from nike. But I think that representing Honor, Joy, Team, Skill, and Heart through players really means something. Wayne Rooney really represents Heart, he loves this game. And Cristiano Ronaldo, he IS Skill. He on fire when he has that ball at his feet!

Well since this is AMERICAN FOOTBALL I think you chose the wrong thing for FIFA. Sorry I just get tired of people who don't go by the proper catergory, when there is one that specifies as soccer.

I can't find anything for 2007 - have a look at the FIFA link below for 2 forthcoming friendlies in 2006. The other link is to the Indonesian football ferderation and may well have what you want (if you can read it - I can't!)

The practice of "capping" players wages and transfer fees has been tried out in Rugby League. The way it works is that the players wages bill (all players on a team) cannot exceed the turnstyle reciepts, in turn this means that the sponsors do not effectively "buy" players. Wether it is a sucess remans to be seen. I do agree though that they should be capped and wages related to results eg smaller weekly wage but more in bonuses and goals scored

As far as I can understand, not in Britain. The first time I'm aware of is when Jesper Olsen (Ajax, later Man Utd.) passed the ball to Johan Cruyff in a game against Helmond Sport, sometime in the late 70's

I think it is helping the premiership. It will step up the quality of players in the premier league which can only be a good thing! Their current form shows you can't buy the premiership as they have been slipping up alot lately. Unfortunately their endless spending will take talents from decent european teams lowering the challenge in the UEFA champions league.

I think it is sensible to limited the number of changes to 3 substitutes per game. This, in theory, for 1/2 tactical changes and 1/2 changes due to injury - which is often more than adequate based on modern day player's fitness levels.\n\nHaving more than 3 substitutions would (as proved during recent international friendlies - where 11 substitutions were permitted) make the game disjointed. It would also make the game last longer (in terms of added time allocated for time wasted for substitutions) and more importantly (I believe) favour the teams with bigger squad sizes.

No, they're following the new FIFA guidelines.  And they're being conisistent.  It's a good thing.

Well it has it's Pros but it also has it's Cons.If LBW decisions are referred to the Third Umpire then Wrong Decsisions will be eliminated from the game.However precious time will be wasted in referring each decision to the Third Umpire as there are many LBW and Runout appeals made in the course of the game.Hence a ODI will last an hour longer than now.Also it will reduce the role of the on-field umpires to just referring decisions to the Third Umpire.So I feel if the Onfield umpires a doing a good job which I believe they are doing then we should just continue wuth the current system and not introduce too much technology in the game.

Bookings are carried from game to game now, and each player that gets two bookings will be suspended for next game. That's subject to Graham Poll refereeing a game, where you're allowed 63 yellow cards before he then gives you a final warning, a nipple cripple, then a chinese burn before spraying water in your eye.\nIf you commit another foul after this, he then gives you a red card.....
