if the games werent so dang long... its stupid... 90 minutes??? play a 60 min maybe even less... its clear especially in these tight matches that the goals dont come until they absolutely haveeeee to score. its a 90 minute snooze fest then 4 goals scored in 5 minutes in some games... right after they go into over time.... no way they couldnt play that hard during the 90 minutes... they just have no desire too plus they would be worn slap out... some of these games going 90 plus 30 then pks??? thats 2 games worth there... i just believe if you shorten the matches soccer would be big over here also... and you'd have to take away the ability to end in a tie... Americans dont tie... thats what you did in T'ball when you were 12... yes i know theres a tie every now and then in the NFL but rarely... less than one a year right? anyway just my thought on it... they coulda just skipped to the ot in most of the games thats where the fun was... and pks are exceting too to me... less flops, shorter games, no ties... soccer would be a huge sport in the US... what yall think
