  2. our newspaper today says that David Villa suffers injury and won't play for Spain, so they're considering Raúl for the EC ? Anyone who has info on that?

    Raul should be considered as a possible replacement but I'm afraid that won't be happening. Adrián (Atletico de Madrid) or Muniain (Athletic Bilbao) are probably going to take that position.
  4. What about Torres then?
  5. Who?
  6. Sepp Blatter apparently looking at an alternative to the penalty shoot out...

    So, will it be:

    Added time multiball?


    Crossbar challenge?


    Bowling alley?


    In all seriousness though, can anything else decide a match without making the players play more than two hours?
  7. some matches would be neverending ...
    if a match cannot be repeated than i can't think anything better than penalties.
  8. One example of said never ending match would be:

    Champions League final 2003...
  9. worst final of all times in every sense hehe
  10. The decoration at Old Trafford was immense though

  11. MSN are running a poll for the alternative to the penalties:

    - Keep penalty shootouts
    - Play until a goal is scored
    - Whoever has the most shots on target wins
    - Each team loses a man every 5 minutes
    - Run from the halfway line and shoot
    - Keepers can't use their hands
    - Make the goals bigger in extra-time

    I'd be in favour of the teams losing a player every five minutes, certainly would be interesting Just keep penalties, why mess with a proven decider?
