yeah i know, i meant the players need to
I think subinf knows the rule, he's saying that the players need a refresher, so they stop getting called for it.

At this point (83rd minute) Ghana is just clearing and playing longball...

not looking good for the U.S. They need two goals in 6+ minutes
Edit: Ghana's trying to waste time...

regardless of what happens in the US game they deserve some credit for picking up the intensity their last two cup games. i saw a big turn around from their first game

FIFA also needs to do something about these players staying down to waste time. They do it in every game. They should put in a rule that if play is stopped b/c you're down you're out of the game and your team playes down a set number of minutes. I know they have something like that (ref has to let you back in), but I only saw it enforced one or two times...

More cards need to be given out for play like that and less on play where there is contact. It really pisses me off when players lay down when there is no foul. The only positive side is they look like huge pussies because the entire world can see the dive.
to the Italian fans!

I'll admit that the US team is the only team with players that get up almost immediately after getting knocked down. Too bad that doesn't count towards the score
But yes... they need to start giving out cards for that. If people are at risk of missing games b/c of staying on the ground, they'll get up quicker...

It usually gets tacked on to the injury time by the ref

Plus, in extra time, no more time is added... right now there's a guy down who's been down for 30 seconds.... killed almost 45 seconds of Extra time.
At least they just carded one of the guys for wasting time...

They were sure talking a lot of trash before the world Cup started. I only saw one good game out of them.....against Italy playing to a tie with 9 men.
The commentators are blaming Bruce Arena for the early exit. What do you guys think?
