i'm getting worried about this thread it's going away from actually football talking onto trolling and bitter rants.. can we have less personal attacks just because of a football team and more actual talk about the game as none of the other stuff actually gets us anywhere

he's something i've been thinking about.. in the good old days the ball was pretty hard and basically just went in a straight line unless you were a true great like Pele and could put some bend on the ball.. as such it was easier to score through normal play and a free kick wouldn't help you very much

Today that isn't the case and with the movement of the ball now players like Ronaldo can make the ball move in two directions on a free kick... as such a free kick can be easier to score than during normal play.. i'm sure this is why there is so much diving and cheating going on as a free kick is more of a guarentee of a goal

would Drogba have scored at the weekend with a ball from the 60s.. would Ronaldos free kicks go in with a ball from the 60s ?
