I see it each game of every World Cup - some player never gets touched but starts rolling on the ground like he was gored by a bull. Then when he gets the call he jumps up and down like a ballerina. Happened with Cameroon today and was immediately followwed by the same by Japan.
So i ask you experts, do they cut your balls off as soon as you announce that you want to play soccer? Because the palyers on these fields are surely not men.
Get on the field against me and I'll show you how soft football is.

what for?
Now if the ice is bad the puck can still bounce, but not as bad as it would if the pucks hadn't been frozen.
Places that know what they are doing will take the nets just before game time and drag them along the ice to get the metal cold before placing them on their supports. This is done so the net does not sink into the ice, which can happen if the metal is warm.

So rabid Candians won't bite the pucks when they scream at them at 100+ miles per hour!
Biting the puck is perfectly ok if you have any teeth left to do so with. 😉
You probably don't know that since you can't even spell Canadian. 😛

Originally posted by Very RustyNever said Canadians scream. Said the puck screams, meaning the whistling noise made by a fast moving object. Canadians are certainly no sissies. Not a dig, but praise for the guts you guys show all the time. Can't spell? it was a typo and I corrected it for your viweing pleasure. Did you see the video of Rivelino's free kick? It's in an earlier post. I guess the English cannot bite pucks? Now, now Mr. Rusty! At least Canadians have hockey to blame for toothlessness. Brits have simply been defanged
