How do we keep soccer alive in the US?

Some teams made little or no effort to play offense. Their only goal was to stick around long enough for a penalty shootout. (Portugal, England, Netherlands, sometimes Italy, etc.) NHL hockey had to change the rules because players were crowding around the goal and playing only defense the entire game. Led to alot of 0-0 and 1-0 games. That is pretty much what we saw during this World Cup. Except for a few select games (Germany-Costa Rica). I'll tell ya, I am all for being a traditional purist and keeping the rules the way they are, but this World Cup made me think twice about that! How bout you? (Even though I know this will never happen- the rules of football are pretty much set in stone).

I notice that Portugal doesn't have it's own category in the Y.A. list.

Even with the ejection, Zidane still won the Golden Ball as the World Cup's best player. He also ties the record to be the fourth palyer to score 3 goals/tournment in the history of world cup.

How about some of the field events? I'm sure they'd be good at those.

i am 20, i ahve only been playing a year and my first serve is averaged at about 115-125, but the consistancy is about 40 percent and my second serve is about 90 with spin and about 90 percent accurate. ground strokes and all are a little fuzzy but pretty consistant.

There seems to be a lack of concensus so I figured I'd offer it up. Here's the important info to consider:

* 20 rushing yds = 1 pt
* 20 receiving yds = 1 pt
* Rush/Rec TDs = 6 pts
* 10 team league, start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 flex (rb/wr/te), 1 k. 8 bench spots, no IR.
* No other considerations for keepers (e.g. no forfeiture of draft picks to keep players)
* My other keeper is Larry Johnson
* I am an Eagles fan who loves Westbrook and knows what he is capable of, but I'm concerned about his durability (or lack thereof). However, solid starting RBs are commodities in our league and the scoring system is very friendly to a RB like Westbrook.
* I think Larry Fitzgerald will be a top 3 WR by season's end. However, there always seems to be decent WRs in the free agent pool, and I will likely be able to draft someone of Torry Holt's ilk if I keep Westbrook.

Thoughts?

Last division! Who will win, and will another team get a wild card spot?

I think Cristiano Ronaldo is one of them and so is Tottti and Toni and De Rossi!
