Then it's not a close game? Obviously this happens in every sport. It is very uncommon in hockey btw.

I've seen an NHL team come back from 5 down in the last five minutes to win. That is never happening in soccer.

No, you haven't.

I get that with the culture of American sports and 110-114 score lines a 0-0 game being entertaining is probably hard to believe, but as someone mentioned, some 0-0's can be great! And they aren't all that common anyway

NHL is somewhat exciting, certainly much better than NBA/NFL/MLB.

Low scoring soccer games can def be very exciting, though draws in general are pretty meh and will likely be phased out entirely over time. That said, there should be no argument that the practice when being contacted of falling to the ground screaming and holding the general area that was contacted while writhing around only to pop up and be 100% fine 30 seconds later is shameful and humiliating.

Embellishing contact is common to pretty much every contact sport, but only in soccer do you see elite athletes get their shoulder bumped and grab their face screaming while thrashing around on the pitch.

The difference between embellishing to gain a competitive advantage and outright faking injuries is super massive.

Soccer needs a multiball option like pinball. Until then, I boycott that boring ****

I looked it up, you are right. There was 15:10 remaining when the first comeback goal was scored. Still not happening in soccer.

That's more a South American (and Italian) thing.

In the future there will only be 9 players per team on the field

Soccer would be so much better if there was a wolverine loose on the field during the game.

Multi-wolverine even better!

Soccer is boring but American football has the least amount of action of any sport there is.

That people talk about Gretsky/Jordan etc... like they were the best all time.

Especially when people talk about dynasty teams in sports.

The rules have changed, the equipment has changed. The overall talent in most sports leagues is way better now than, most teams are better balanced talent wise, most leagues are better balanced as far as teams etc...

Gretzky still the best.

That would actually get me to watch it for a little bit.

That almost happened in the Austria v Hungary game on Tuesday. There were two balls on the field for about 10-15 seconds.

And then all the players simultaneously fell on the ground writhing in pain?

I'm pretty sure I've seen american football teams just go take the ball

Multi-ball soccer would be amazing

When at store registers and women wait to see the total before opening up their bag and finding/counting money. I've lost hours of my life when added over time.

Check out the NFC championship game from two years ago. Seahawks vs packers.

They were only down 9 but with 3 minutes left.

even worse when they then write a check

the check thing for groceries doesnt actually ever happen does it?

ive heard tales of such extreme levels of human depravity but ive yet to witness it myself in this lifetime.

Right after high school I worked as a cashier at a Walmart Supercenter for a couple months. I would probably get about ten checks a day. This is back in 2005, but still.
