Well, it depends on the level. Young enough, and it's pretty much dangerous play no matter what. Older, and I'd call it if somebody broke stride to avoid stepping on you. (And if you slide tackle and wind up in front of the guy who had the ball and he steps on you, it's at best ODF[1] if not dangerous play against the tackler.) > "But I got the ball first" the one in adult games. "They have to > ask for 10 yards first", when I brought the YC out. I like "You have to give us time to set up our wall." Uh, no. No, I don't if they want a quick kick.

To be fair, they're far from the only team who engages in such behavior. They do seem to do it an awful lot, though. -- "Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win.

My point is that Ballack (as Matthias Sammer before him) is exceptionally bad. He was by far the worst in the Bundesliga when he was here. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/ |
