    I wish baseball games ended in draws as well. I witnessed a 20 inning Mets game earlier this season that ended 2-1 and I wanted it to be over by the 13th inning. It was a complete drag. At least soccer games are only 90 minutes and your done with the game after 2 hours and don't need to spend your whole day on it

    Soccer in the NorthWest is the best America has to offer, without question.

    I've been watching a lot of EPL, and I'd put these guys up against most everyone Europe has to offer. Fans are rabid.

    All I need now is to see a flare-fire up in the corner of the pitch.

    This is such an underrated aspect to soccer. People can talk all the shit they want about soccer, but if you do - don't tout MLB with their 4 hour games of bullshit.

    Soccer, 2 hrs - those guys run 5 miles each, hopefully some cool shit happens - if not you are only out two hours of your life.

    Exactly if there was a legitimate way of deciding a game then they would of done it. Penalty shootouts are just luck based. You can't have the game go on forever, players will get tired or injured. And the teams will most likely have another game in 3-4 days.

    Wouldn't that just be considered a kronic swap meet? Not sure they really need to have a game going on for that.

    Sport is growing in US but will never be what fans want it to be.

    If there had been an effort to push it during the big US immigration years and other pro sports had not yet been established it could have been very different
