I just realized how much I appreciate English football

[Socrates]

I think the EPL is produced A LOT BETTER than La Liga...the EPL games the fans are up close, the stadiums are always better lit, the pitch always seems greener,you can hear the fans better, and the production of the whole thing "seems" more professional. Thats why I think the EPL has a higher appeal imo

Well...thats Gol tv for you. On the other streams I have seen it is much better.

no need to get your vagina all fired up because of this, I'm not the one who makes the rules, complain to FIFA if you disagree with the laws of football.

I have conceded that there can be clean rough clean tackles, you must have chose to disregard it with your selective reading.

See I'll explain it again just for you, the difference here are two words: Likely and Potentially. This has close to nothing to do with tackling softer of harder

Potentially causing an injury comprehends pretty much any tackle and anything you do on a football field so no one's going to penalise that. I agree it's down to luck if you get injured here.

Likely to cause injury means there is a strong probability of causing an injury with a tackle even if you get the ball first. And this is what FIFA intends with the law which I have seen applied in England more than once.
Last year Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in a play where he didn't even touch either the defender or the ball. As he could have done serious harm to the player if he touched him, given the violence of the tackle, he got a straight red.


As I said before if you disagree with this, email FIFA or something, just get off my back because I'm not the one who makes the rules.

I have not seen you say this before and I agree with everything you say in this post.

This compilation is awesome. Although there's one or two challenges which are a bit borderline, mainly due to jumping in. The first Puyol one is a bit dodgy, due to two footed and it being extremely lucky. All the rest are good tackles.

All of those tackles are beautiful.
