but i definitely wouldnt recommend betting on soccer if i didnt know something like that. case in point: New Zealand scored in the 93' to tie Slovakia yesterday.
This would be the equivalent to laying down money on a hockey game and not knowing that the game is over when someone scores in OT. gotta be careful with that kinda stuff, could lose money QUICKLY in the extra time of a soccer game.
