Saintsfan Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 ...and this is why seeding the hosts automatically in Pot A is stupid. Seed them where they should be, but still ensure they'll be drawn into Group A (and D).Yeah, my thoughts exactly.Good thing we'll be seeing less co-hosts for Euro once were at 24 teams. Mixing up the good and bad more.Also if you haven't done so, join the Euro Bracket Madness group. Password - ccslcThe world rankings have not that much to do with tournament seedlings. Yes hosts shouldn't necessarily be seeded, but seedlings are also based off previous tournament performance and qualifying performances. Incidentally I hope the inevitable racism stories shame Polish and Ukranian, and other Eastern European societies, into addressing the racism they have. (It's ironic though that the Daily Mail, purveyors of casual racism and other forms of small time prejudice, should get themselves into such a lather about this!!) 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltere Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Bad times for the Greeks, Sokratis Papastathopoulos just got a VERY soft red card. Two yellows, neither of which should have been IMO. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does FIFA have the power to rescind cards/suspensions like the NBA can take back technicals?The issue is if it's a foul, they won't change a card. And both were fouls, if not a card. And Ian Darke is a great commentator. He's even better at boxing, don't suppose he gets to do much of that now! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This ref is the absolute worst.The penalty was spot on, and it's hard not to send a keeper off in that situation, having denied a goalscoring opportunity. Though it was a bit of a nothing red card again. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was a bit of a nothing red card again.I thought it was a little harsh. What else could Szczęsny do, Salpingidis just essentially tripped over his leg, after Szczęsny put himself in the position to make the save.
