Subject: RE: BS: UEFA EURO 2012 (football)
Okay... here is a chance for youse to edjumacate a Canuck who just KNOW the rules or how they are (not)interpreted properly. Seems to be a lot of "give". Also, I plead ignorance on at two least levels. I never saw a game of "soccer" until I went to uni and the only reason I did see one was I was playing Canadian football on an adjacent field. We never got to see football on TV here until we got cable. Then, we only got to watch SOME of the World Cup every four years. Then, we got one, two if lucky, Premiership games per week. We get a lot more now, thank goodness.

So, ladies and gents, please offer your
explantions/opinions.

For what it's worth, I am a Canuck. When I played Canuck squash in our uni residence, we checked just like we check in hockey. You get between me and the Yellow Dot and yer fair game. You get between me and a clear shot to the wall, you get a blue dot with the Yellow Dor in the small of your back. LET that be a lesson.
