    NO - don't stop top teams playing in their national league.

    NO - have one premier league.

    See 3. above.

I'm all in favour of a European super league though - 16/18 teams playing
on Wednesdays instead of European Cup matches/Coca-cola cup look-alike
matches.

The top ten national teams can be divided into two
groups: certainties and possibles.
The certainties are

Holland
Germany
Italy
Brazil
Argentina
Belguim
(in no particular order)

then choose four from the possibles to join the above.
possibles:
Sweden
England
Ireland
Denmark
France
CIS

Finally, an African team may get into the possible list, but I don't
know much about African national sides at the moment.

Dear Sports Department,

I would like to congratulate you on your successful bid in conjunction
with ESPN to carry the 1994 World Cup Soccer Tournament.  Agreeing to
show the matches uninterrupted is quite a change for network TV in the
United States.  However, it is very important one.  With the increased 
popularity of the sport, I'm surprised that you haven't taken the 
opportunity to tap into the soccer audience sooner.  

If advertising is a problem, border advertisements are a possibility.  
I'm sure there are other solutions that are profitable for your network.
The foreign language networks have developed various methods of advertising
without interrupting the broadcast of a game or obscuring the picture.

The United States is finally capable of competing with foreign nations
on the soccer field.  However, there is no soccer coverage on your 
network.  There are tournaments where the US national team compete, but
they don't get any coverage.  The college soccer tournament gets about
an hour coverage of the NCAA division one tournament a month or two
after it's taken place.

The sport of soccer is expanding by leaps and bounds in the United States.
Children and adults are playing, coaching, and organizing games all over 
the country.  With such an audience, it's time for you to deliver the
broadcasting that the viewer is desiring.  Broacast more soccer.

Yes, it's true that a referee forgot the penalty shoot out count.  But I think
it was on a Sao Paulo state championship game.

As far as I am aware, most rivalries in England are between teams that are near
neighbours (e.g. Liverpool/Everton, Arsenal/Spurs etc. etc.).  Unfortunately
Brighton are in the unfortunate position that their nearest neighbours (Pompey
and Palace) have OTHER teams that are closer to them. This means that the
rivalry is one way, producing bizarre 'derbies' where we are desperate to see 
Palace, for example, get the thrashing they deserve (who else has a supermarket
 for a home end?) while they have their radios clamped to their ears listening 
for the Charlton score!! One of my mates is a Palace supporter, and he was 
intrigued (and no doubt flattered) that the Seagulls claimed a rivalry with the 
so-called 'Eagles'. The same thing happens with Portsmouth/Southampton.
	This is nothing to do with the fact that the two teams mentioned above
are in higher divisions than us:- it was the same when we were in the First 
Division and they weren't.

I'm not so sure that it is a bad decision by the keeper.  The execution
was bad.  A high hanging ball around the goal mouth is an invitation for
trouble.  

In a match this fall, I was playing keeper and had a very similar occurenc.
However, the difference being I received a very hard (but fair) challenge 
from one of the opposing halfs who was of equitable height as me (6'1").
The result was a bad play by me and a goal against.  

Summarry:  Any high ball invites tall attackers, and usually catches your 
defense off guard.

I do not know who the BEST referre is but can tell you who the most 
cautious referee was. This title should go to Concetto Lo Bello who, as the 
myth has it, before departing for duty at the international level would 
learn all possible insults in the language of the teams he was about to 
referee. Thus when during a game involving Yugoslavia a player made some 
noncomplimentary remarks about the doubtful virtue of his mother or sister 
he immediately proceeded to expel him. The funny thing about this guy (who 
went on to become a Member of Parliament) was that his Italian was never 
that good, but he could insult anybody in many other languages.--
