Having been to Virton, this deal raised my eyebrow, Ancelotti style.

It’s a small village.

Technically, it’s practically the same. They will have to draw lines again. But because of inertia, maybe a bit easier for the linesman’s eye? And less parts of bodies being in the same line. In terms of standing/movement from the attacker and defender point of view, yeah it might be different (at least for a while). Attackers will have a bit more advantage obviously. Less action in the sight of defenders.

Kills the high defensive line

We’ll have gone from “his toe/heel is just offside” to ‘his toe/heel is just keeping him onside’. :thinking::nerd_face:

If it removes ambiguity that’s great, but it will be nightmare for defenders to adjust.

Doesn’t remove any ambiguity, just changes the ambiguity.

Don’t see how it helps and looks like a forced way of getting more goals to be scored to appeal to the markets that currently don’t really watch - USA and the oil-stealing nations.

Its like when the US wanted to increase the size of the goals for the 94 World Cup because they thought Americans would find it boring otherwise. Just loading the attack with advantages to force more “entertainment” which of course ends up being more boring.

I think it removes the ambiguity of ‘a ball playing part of the body’.

Personally, I’m in favour of putting microchips in boots and using that technology.

Yeah bumfluff if you told me he was 16 I wouldn’t doubt it mind.

That 'tache puts Gary Nevilles to shame, and he’s been trying to grow it since 1992

Since it’s young Mølby’s 60th, and because I’m missing København, who is the greatest Danish player of all time?

I know Laudrup is the obvious choice, but he spent the summer of 92 sipping sangria on a beach in Malaga.

Schmeichel and Simonson are in the conversation.

When I first arrived in Copenhagen, I was taking weekend shifts at a bar called Det Rene Glas; the oldest bar in the neighborhood, an institution, and our very own Daniel Agger donated a lot of money to keep the bar afloat, so I hold Agger in the highest regard, and, being a Swansea boy, I hold Laudrup in the lowest regard.
