Not Exactly Your Low-Scoring Soccer Match
Fri Nov 1,10:37 AM ET

ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - Newly-crowned Madagascan champions AS Adema thrashed their opponents 149-0 in a top national league soccer match after the opposition deliberately scored one own goal after another in a protest over a refereeing decision.

Radio Madagascar reported Friday that Stade Olympique l'Emyrne scored the own goals against Adema as a protest after SOE's coach Ratsimandresy RaCzarazaka lost his temper with the referee.

Spectators told the radio that following the row Thursday between RaCzarazaka and the referee at Adema's home ground in the port of Toamasina, SOE repeatedly kicked the ball toward their own goal after each kickoff and scored 149 own goals in the process.

Adema's players reportedly stood around looking bemused, doing nothing to stop the opposition from self-destructing.

Radio Madagascar claimed the result represented a new world record score in a first class match.

SOE were last year's Malagasy champions who surprisingly won through to the second round of the African Champions League this season. Adema clinched the Malagasy title last weekend.

Leave it to the Germans to create a system where Italians won't have to bitch at the ref anymore. Conspiracy: no more!

German company set to digitize soccer
Each player would wear a transmitter about the size of a credit card in his or her shin pads, and a transmitter about the size of a peanut would be placed inside the ball. A network of receivers around the soccer pitch would allow computers to keep track of the exact position of each transmitter in real time, so if a player went offside, or the ball went out of bounds, the system would know instantly. The information could then be beamed to a special receiver worn by the referee. It would vibrate or sound a noise whenever there had been an infraction and then provide the necessary information on a special view screen.

The system will be tested later this year at a stadium in Nuremberg. Because the system keeps track of the exact location of every player and the ball at all times, it could also be used to re-create games online. Computer-generated versions of the players could play the match almost exactly like their real-life versions did.

shite.......

Trust the fcuking krauts to take a game, strip it of it's intangibles and any semblance of character or fun and turn it into a bloody exercise. You couldn't fcuking make it up. It speaks volumes about anyone who would think this a good idea.

Young Boys' Wankdorf erection woe


BERNE, Switzerland, June 26 (Reuters) - Young Boys have been forced to play a UEFA Cup qualifier with Finnish side MyPa away from their Neufeld home after European soccer's governing body UEFA refused to allow temporary seating.

Young Boys, who host MyPa in the second leg on August 28, said on Thursday UEFA has not granted either their request to allow supporters to stand or for makeshift stands to be erected at the 6,800-capacity Neufeld stadium.

The Neufeld is being used as an temporary home while Young Boys' new Wankdorf stadium, which will become the Swiss national team's home, is built following the demolition of their previous home.

Young Boys said they are in talks to play the game in Lausanne, Basel or Zurich. A decision must be made before July 8.
