1 A French friend of mine laughed at a recent dinner party. His description of the baseball game was: "Seven people were standing on the field doing nothing, while two of their teammates were throwing the ball back and forth."

I understand-if you didn't grow up with a foreign sport, it's hard to get excited about it. Now, I have encountered the same cultural barriers. The World Cup will start on June 9th, and I know nothing about what is happening on the "stadium". Now seems to be a good time to expose the so-called beautiful game.
I know that it is difficult for a person to be interested in a foreign sport unless he has been exposed to it since childhood. Now I have encountered the same cultural barriers. The World Cup will start on June 9th, and I have no idea what players are doing on the "stadium". It seems that this is an excellent opportunity to expose the shortcomings of this so-called wonderful event.
I have been watching football for many years. All I can see on the court is 22 adult men in shorts running around, trying to play football crazily and tripping over each other. I think the goal is to hit the ball into the net (also called the goal), but if it gets close, it looks like an accident.
I have been watching football for several years, and all I can see are 22 adults in shorts running around the court, trying to kick the ball and tripping over each other. I guess their purpose is to kick the ball into the net (also called the goal), but if it is not accidental, it is difficult for the ball to get close to the goal.
It seems that what we are doing here is a game of chance.
It seems that we are talking about a sport that wins by luck.
For an hour and a half, the stadium was in chaos, football shuttled back and forth, and fans hummed some sad songs, which reminded people of nabucco's Slave Chorus. Neither team seems to be under control.
For a whole hour and a half, the stadium was in chaos: the ball flew around and the fans hummed sad songs, reminding people of Nabuka's "slave choir" It seems that both players are out of control.
The scoring system says it all. Most finals are 0-0, 1-0 or 2- 1, which shows that the game is often a confrontation, and it is luck to take the lead when time runs out. To put it mildly, they call it tension or suspense.
The scoring method says it all: most football matches end with 0-0, 1-0 or 2- 1, which means that the result of the game is often a draw. If one side wins at the end of the game, it's only because they are lucky. In order to whitewash this phenomenon, they call such games "intense" or "suspense".
Novices in football-mostly Americans-may want to know how many ways to score. Besides kicking the ball, you can also hit it with your head in mid-air. As the doctor will tell you, this is not the best use of the skull.

To be honest, many goals are unintentionally bounced off by players who are in the way. The audience likes this, especially when a defender's legs send the ball into his own net-by accident, of course.
To tell the truth, many goals were bounced off by a player who accidentally blocked the ball. The audience likes this kind of goal, especially when the defender-unexpectedly, of course-sends the ball into his own net.
Nine goals can best illustrate the contingency of this game. 90% of the shots (called "chance", or "half chance" in hopeless situation, or "opportunity" in France) are either blocked or so far off the track that they fly into the depths of the stands.
Shooting can best illustrate the contingency of this game: 90% of shooting (called "opportunity" or "half chance" in hopeless situations; Oppotunité s in France) was either blocked or flew directly to the stands because of the miss.
10 If the ball is aimed in the right direction and slips through the forest with hairy legs, it is pure luck. The shooter, or "shooter", took full responsibility for the accident. He took off his shirt and ran around in circles. Four or five companions jumped on his back to try to stop him and put on his shirt.
If the ball happens to aim and slip through the hairy player's leg, it's pure luck. The shooter, also known as the "shooter", will get all the praise for his unexpected goal. He would take off his jersey and run in circles. Four or five teammates will jump on his back to stop him and make him put on his jersey.
Chaos began again, the buzz in the stands began again, and the clock slowly moved towards a long 90 minutes.
Then the chaos resumed, the audience in the stands began to hum again, and the timer slowly came to the end of a long 90-minute tick.
12 Unlike baseball or basketball, accurate ball control is not the most important thing in football, except maybe thierry henry and some Brazilians. Let's face it, God never intended most of us to control the ball with our feet when running at full speed.
Football is different from baseball or basketball. Accurate ball control is not the most important thing for football, except for thierry henry and several Brazilian players. Let's face it: God never wants most of us to control the ball with our feet when running at full speed.
13 periodically, a player's face was elbowed and then twisted down. The clock stopped, and the little man with a black bag rushed to massage his fake sausage wound, and then he jumped like a new one. Players who elbow him will get something called a "yellow card", which is a mild punishment.
A player will be elbowed in the face from time to time, lying on the grass and writhing painfully. At this time, the time will be suspended, and several small people with black bags will come running to massage the players who pretend to be injured, and then he will stand up alive again. Players who elbow him will get something called a "yellow card": a mild punishment.
14 how can there be a movement whose strategy and rules are so obscure? In addition to the mysterious "injury time", there is also something called "offside rule", which generally believes that unless at least two opposing players are in the lead, strikers can't catch the ball. Why not? This confuses everyone.
How can there be a sport with such vague tactics and rules? In addition to the mystery of "injury time", there is also a rule called "offside", which probably means that unless there are two opposing players in front, the striker can't catch the ball from his teammates. Why not? This puzzled everyone.
15 Don't worry-even professional commentators don't know what to say. John Martzen of BBC Football Voice points out that there is no "unified explanation" for the offside rule. Imagine real football, and there is no agreement on the meaning of "touchdown".
Don't worry-even professional commentators are often speechless. John Martzen, a famous football player of the BBC, thinks that the offside rule "has no international explanation". Imagine what would happen if real football didn't have a consistent explanation for "holding the ball and touching the ground"
Why does your typical football match look so out of control? Simple. There is only one referee on the field, who is responsible for keeping 22 excited athletes in line. He is not allowed to talk back (for this, you will get a "red card" and a shower), but most violations-pushing, punching, tripping, kneeling, handball-happen when he is not looking. But the fans saw them and caused more complaints in the stands.
Why does your typical football match look so out of control? It's simple, because there is only one referee on the court, who is in charge of controlling 22 extremely excited athletes. He doesn't allow players to raise objections (otherwise they will give players a "red card" and let them take a shower and leave). However, most fouls, such as pushing, punching, tripping, hitting the knee and handball, are carried out without his eyes. But the fans saw it and caused more complaints from the audience.
Why so many people flocked to watch the game is still a mystery. I must have missed something.
