FIFA Should Once And For All Introduce Video Technology
I’m not going to rehash, you know what, here. Nah. Rather, we should take the opportunity to hound and harass FIFA to get off its delusional perch and ass and bring video technology to world soccer.
Too much is at stake to not do this. We have the ability to make things right through technological advancements [...]
Did The Better Team Win?
By Beaker
We often hear the question in the title being asked by journalists, pundits and fans alike. It comes whenever a team dominates another but still loses.
On Monday night, the Miami Dolphins held ball possession for a stunning 45 minutes while the Indianapolis Colts had it for just about 15 minutes. Expressed in percentages, that’s [...]

Choosing Career Over Nation Is Not Treacherous
Originally from Whowerare.
Following his two goal performance in a 3-1 victory for Italy over the United States at the Confederations Cup soccer tournament, Giuseppe Rossi finds himself a topic of discussion among American sports writers and commentators.
You see, Rossi is originally from Joisey (also referred to New Jersey) who happens to have dual American and [...]
Diving Beauts From Around The Globe
How Italy came to be the poster boys for diving is beyond me. I’ve been watching and reading about soccer for a long, long time and one thing I can say is that diving transcends nationality.
Do people actually believe German, English, Brazilian, Argentinian, Portuguese, French, Swedish, Korean, Dutch, Spanish etc. players don’t dive? If you’re [...]
Clueless Sports Comments
-That didn’t take long. I was wondering how long before a sports writer would point out Roger Federer’s French Open victory (and 14th Grand Slam title) was over Robin Soderling and NOT Rafael Nadal. Read it this morning in a paper. Gee, and this is supposed to diminish the victory how exactly? How’s it Roger’s [...]
Sports Links And Videos Of Interest
The excellent soccer writer Rob Hughes offers his thoughts in “Amid Passion and Grief, Reminders That Italy Remains a Sleeping Giant”.
They’re angry and they don’t care who knows it. Fire Jay Mariotti goes where no journalist too chummy with the system attempts to explore lest they get overlooked for the next piece of crap golf [...]
Soccerpro.com: A Pleasant Shopping Experience
We don’t normally review sports clothing shops on ISW, but being fans of soccer we figured why not plug Soccerpro.com?
I recently purchased a Nike Juventus hooded sweater and offer a review of soccerpro.com and its products and services right here in this post.
On the service front, absolutely no complaints here. Everytime I had a question, [...]
Something I Never Did Understand
As a former soccer player, it always baffled me how defenders used to stop playing and raise their arms calling for an offside.
Play until there’s a whistle. Don’t stop. It could cost you a goal and often it did.
It’s one thing to have hacks do it, but to see it in major professional leagues and [...]
