“This is Armageddon News. In this broadcast we’ll discuss the second coming of Jesus Christ, which occurs at the same time as a magnetic polar flip and catastrophic global earthquake. On the day which Jesus returns, there will be a polar reversal. Revelations 6:12 says, ‘There was a violent earthquake, and the Sun became black like coarse black cloth, and the moon turned completely’. “The stars fell down to the Earth, like ripe figs falling from the tree when a strong wind shakes it. Every mountain and island is moved from its place. The polar flip will make the stars race across the sky, and the vacuum created by the reeling of the Earth will pull the atmosphere along the ground, trying to catch up.”

Na wao for some people. Just look at how you are defending messi as if your life depends on it.
I am a ronaldo fan but i can never talk down on messi. They are both great footballers but i prefer ronaldo because i think that when messi isn't playing for barcelona he looks average to me. Messi is great in barcelona jersey but average in argentina jersey. Ronaldo has played in three different leagues and he's been great in all three. Thats the only reason why i prefer ronaldo to messi but that does'nt mean i will talk down on messi.
Take it easy bro.

Sports › Re: 8 Stranqe Rules & Requlations In Soccer by mostob(op): 4:06am On Jul 09, 2016
6. It is illegal for a goalkeeper to roll his
sleeves up
A goalkeeper is allowed to wear long
sleeves due to their role but one thing
they cannot do is to roll the sleeves up
to form a short sleeve, they can be given a card for that.

7. A goalkeeper can’t pick the ball up
again after he has let it out of his
possession until another player has
touched it
After catching a ball, a goalkeeper can’t
pick the ball up again if he decides to drop it until another player has touched
it. If he disobeys, he will receive a card,
it is either for him to kick it or allow
another player to pass it back to him
before he can pick it up again.

8. A linesman can officiate a match
It is absolutely legal for an assistant
coach to take over the match and
officiate if the referee can’t continue
with the match, so basically a linesman is
also a referee who can do everything the main referee does.
Sports › Re: 8 Stranqe Rules & Requlations In Soccer by mostob(op): 4:00am On Jul 09, 2016
3. Linesmen Can Issue Cards
The assistant coach is supposed to
inform the referee of offenses which
happened on his blind side and decide
whether to give a card. If the referee
gives the mandate to the linesman, he can issue a card based on what he saw,
but the responsibility lies on the referee
to give the assistant referee the go
ahead according to the Fifa Rule 6.

4. A player cannot be offside from a
goal kick, corner or throw-in
During goal kick, corner or throw-in,
even if the player is in an off-side
position, it is not counted. This has
caused many teams goals when they assume it is an off-side and it takes
them by surprise.

5. A substitute cannot take a corner or
a throw-in to restart the match
When a ball goes out for a throw-in and
the team decides to sub a player, the
new player who just stepped in cannot
take the throw to restart the match. You probably never knew this right?
Sports › 8 Stranqe Rules & Requlations In Soccer by mostob(op):
These are some stranqe rules put in
place by Fifa that we miqht not familiar
with..

1. Referees Can Be Substituted
For most of our lives that we’ve
watched football, it is not common to
see a referee being subbed but in the
Fifa soccer rules, this is accepted. If a
referee is unable to continue with the match, he can be subbed with an
assistant referee to take over the
match.

2. The Coach Can Play For The Team If
He Wants To
Many might not know this but a coach is
part of the team and can sub a player
and step on the pitch to play. A typical
example is with Gianluca Vialli who used to play for Juventus and later coached
Chelsea, he was still capable of playing
and so usually subbed himself when the
need arises for him to step in. So don’t
be surprised when one day a coach
decides to play for his team.
