#40First of all not every game or even close to half are 0-0 or 1-0. If that was the case totals wouldn't be 2.5 or 3. This notion that a tie makes it stupid is just wrong. The NFL can actually end in a tie. I'm a big American football fan but today by far there was no more exciting game than Tottenham-Chelsea and that ended 1-1. Games that go to shootouts to determine a winner or the college football overtime rule just cheapen the sport. In my opinion soccer (or footbal which I should really be calling it) along with baseball are the only two pure sports left.Comment -

I'm sorry, but I cannot see where a tie would ever be appropriate.
If you play a game (any game), there should be a winner.
Case closed.
Good luck on your plays tomorrow!Comment -

#46Well that's the thing, you might want a winner, but this is something the fans are not calling for. You get winners in elimination tournaments. In a league where 40+ games are played you have ties it's the only logical way of proving who is the better team over the course of the season rather then having it decided by luck. You either like soccer or you don't, you can't be a fan of the game but then not like the sport because it has ties...makes no sense.Comment -

#47There was a time win college football had ties. People said overtime would cheapen it and take away from the "tradition." Scoreless ties happen in Soccer, but a lot of them are in tournaments where lesser teams play for the tie. Look at princeton-style offense teams in college basketball or football teams that run the ball to keep it away from the opponent's offense.
Its not that Americans don't like soccer, its that Americans don't like *BAD* soccer. The best players play in Europe, because the best teams are in Europe. The MLS is no more representative of soccer than NFL Europe was of football. Hell, MLS games are played on turf, when almost all European games are played on natural grass.
Soccer can be plenty exciting: the game is constantly in motion without all the starts and stops and tv timeouts of the NFL, NBA, and especially baseball. The actual goal is an anticlimax, the real action comes from knowing someone needs to score and wondering when its going to happen. Watch closely enough and someone will make a play. Sure there's flopping but have you seen the NFL lately with all those QBs and WRs begging for flags? And don't get me started on the NBA.Comment -

#502-0 in soccer is considered a 20 point lead in basketball... what a joke this sport is.. euros are sooo dumb for supporting this sport..
Look at MLS.. not even considered a major sport here in America.. Minor league baseball gets more attention than this sh!tty MLS..
We americans are smart and bright.. we know what a true sport is and what a whack sport SUCKER is.. it will never be popular here not like in europe where all the dumb people lives..Comment -

#55I used to be a Soccer fan. Not anymore. This sport puts too much emphasis in defense, and doesnt matter how much the players run or jump or kick the ball; usually they will not score.
Something else I dont like about Soccer: you dont have to be smart to play or watch it, because needs a very basic level of strategy. This is not a sport that challenges your mind.
Most of the people in the world love Soccer. Unfortunately, most of the people in the world are gullible.

#58Final thoughts--
The jealousy towards soccer/football is visible when people start threads like these. If you really like your own sport and enjoy watching it, then why be obsessed with a sport you don't like and bitch about it? Doesn't make any sense.
I haven't been any soccer capper post threads like these about "American" sports. The obsession with hating the most popular sport in the world is laughable.
Btw, neither of basketball or ice hockey were founded by Americans so they can't be, technically, called "American" sports.Comment -

#59I though not to respond in this worthless thread but i have to add something about US league systems. How interesting is to watch the very same teams year after year. Why don't you bring the relegation system. Why do the weakest teams play at all at the end of the season if they ain't gonna drop from the league? I think by introducing this the US leagues will be more interesting.Comment -

#64I usually don't pay it no mind until the fifa world cup. I mostly dislike the fact that if you bet the ML there are 2 ways to lose and only 1 way to win. Then again the odds are adjusted but it's just not for me.Comment -

#65Stop feeding the troll.
maxcraft doesn't know anything about any sports. He makes threads in every forum and fails in the end. He made a thread in MMA betting against GSP because of emotions. Trolls around the NBA forum making fun of peoples plays. He doesn't know anything about American sports let alone soccer.
Now he wants to make enemies here, let this be the last post, otherwise you have helped him succeed in creating the top thread in this forum.Comment -

#67Alright since admins obviously moved this to players talk...
The Story of maxcraft
1. Whine emotionally about a team/player, bet against them and lose.
2. Come after the game and whine some more about how that player/team sucks.
3. Next day troll around peoples threads and make fun of their plays calling them "idiots", "morons", "squares"
4. Turn off the computer in his parents basement, go to bed and cry himself to sleep.Comment -
